About Bella

Bella is a people-focused, affectionate Pit Bull Terrier who forms quick bonds with both adults and children. She thrives on attention and loves spending time with her people, but can get a bit overexcited when happy or stimulated—a bit of gentle redirection is all it takes to help her settle down. Bella does best on a routine, going outside two to three times each day, and she's good during bath time when given a little help. Her history of malnourishment means she's currently eating chicken or lamb-based food mixed with rice and carrots, using a slow feeder. She can't tolerate red meats or turkey, and some fatty snacks give her trouble. Belly rubs, carrots, pumpkin, oranges, and even ice cubes make her happy, but she turns her nose up at blueberries. Monitor her at mealtime and with treats around other dogs, as she’s had some food aggression in those situations. Bella should not live with cats, bunnies, or other small furry pets. Her sensitive skin needs a gentle touch during weekly baths, especially since she’s prone to ear infections and is missing a tooth. She’s sweet, loving, and always happiest around people—but needs a home that can keep up with her unique needs. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
