About Bella

Bella is a striking young black Lab and American Bully mix who came to the rescue after her former owner became unable to care for her. At about 7 months old, Bella has already learned the ropes of socializing—she plays well with other dogs and enjoys the company of children. Her short, black coat shines in the sun and she’s got plenty of energy for backyard adventures, especially if you have a fenced yard. While she's still learning about house training, she shows a lot of promise with the right guidance and consistency. Bella is spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped, so she's ready for her next chapter. She’s ready to bond and build trust with a patient family who can give her time and affection. Bella would do best in a loving home that understands she’s still adjusting and needs a steady environment. She does get along with dogs and children, but is not suited for a household with cats.
