Please read Bella’s full listing before reaching out. If you feel you may be a good match for her, please complete the application linked at the end of her bio. We’ll be in touch if it appears to be a good fit. Thank you! Picture this: On Christmas Eve 2025, a local Good Samaritan stepped outside her home and heard an animal whimpering. When she checked the shrubbery, she found an emaciated, very pregnant dog in desperate need of shelter, food, and care. She brought the mama inside and made her comfortable—and just four days later, she delivered eight puppies, four of whom survived. Sweet Bella is one of those beautiful babies! Bella (DOB 12/29/25) currently weighs about 15 lbs., and her vet estimates she will be around 30 lbs. fully grown. A DNA test shows she’s a wonderful mix of spaniel, Malinois, Bloodhound, and Miniature Pinscher—and there isn’t an unloving bone in her body! Bella is incredibly intelligent and eager to please. She’s friendly with other dogs, adults, children, and even cats. She already knows how to “sit” for treats, meals, and leash time. During her daily walks, her foster mom is also teaching her to stop and sit when cars pass—she’s a quick learner! Bella has a clean bill of health and has received two rounds of puppy vaccines. She will also be spayed and microchipped before she is adopted. Bella has no known allergies or behavioral concerns—and she’s as beautiful as she is sweet. She has a healthy appetite and would thrive in a home with gentle, responsible children, another young, playful dog, and a securely fenced yard. She loves her stuffed toys (especially her octopus and dinosaur), teddy bears, and squeaky toys. She is already crate-trained and house-trained and will make a wonderful addition to a loving family. Bella's adoption fee is $400.00. We accept checks or cash (sorry, no credit cards). If you’re unable to adopt but would like to help with her care, you can sponsor Bella through the Petfinder Foundation by clicking the “Sponsor” button on this page. Thank you for your support! Bella is a loving, intelligent pup who deserves a safe and happy forever home. If you feel she may be the right fit for your family, please complete an application here: https://foreverhomek9rescue.org/adoption-application/ If we feel it’s a good match, we will be in touch. Forever Home Canine Rescue offers a three-week trial period with all adoptions to ensure a successful match. The adoption fee will be refunded if it does not work out within that time—we are committed to finding the perfect forever home for each of our dogs. While we do adopt out-of-state, we do not ship or transport our pets. Approved adopters must come to North Carolina to meet their new companion and bring them home in person.
