Meet Bella, a sleek and soulful two-year-old Great Dane who has finally learned what it feels like to be safe. For a long time, Bella was just a number in a crowded city shelter, waiting for a rescue that promised to come but never showed. After falling through the cracks once before, she is more than ready for a family that will truly show up for her. Despite her rocky start and arriving quite underweight, this resilient 94-pound girl has blossomed into a joyful, gentle companion who is quickly making up for lost time. Bella is currently thriving in a loving foster home where she’s busy perfecting the art of the "Dane lean" and gaining the healthy weight she needs. She is a natural at just being a dog—whether that’s lounging on a soft bed or greeting you with a wagging tail. Because she’s spent so much time waiting her turn, she has a heart full of gratitude and a personality that radiates sweetness. While she is still intact, she will be scheduled for her spay as she continues to settle in and get healthy. As a younger, large-breed girl, Bella would love a family that understands the "gentle giant" lifestyle and has the space (both on the couch and in their hearts) to help her continue her journey. She’s looking for a place where she’ll never have to worry about being forgotten again.
