About Bella

Bella is a small, senior pit bull mix with a lot of spirit and affection to share. She loves her daily walks, enjoys car rides, and prefers to be close to her person—either curled up in your lap or relaxing on the couch nearby. Bella is house trained, crate trained, and already knows several commands. She’s smart, very food-motivated, and loves to keep busy, making her a fun companion for someone who likes working alongside their dog. She does best in a calm and structured home with predictable routines, and she needs an owner who’s comfortable setting clear boundaries. Bella’s ideal match is an experienced dog person who understands her needs. She is up-to-date on vaccines, spayed, and her chicken allergy is well managed with her diet. Bella is reactive around other dogs and has a strong prey drive, so she’s not a fit for homes with cats or small animals. Young kids aren’t the best fit, but she could join a home with a calm, well-matched dog if introductions are handled properly. Bella has come a long way from a rough start, and with the right guidance, she’s a loyal and loving companion. Think she could be a good addition to your life? Ready to meet your new best friend?
