Make their next chapter their best one yet. Meet Bella! This pretty girl has experienced quite a bit of change in her life, but her sweet spirit still shines through. Originally adopted by a loving family in California, Bella faced tragedy when her mom passed away. She and the two children moved to a relative's home, who found herself unexpectedly caring for more children and dogs than she could handle, leading her to make the tough decision to find Bella a new home. Sadly, the next situation did not work out, and Bella was abandoned, eventually ending up as a stray wandering in McLean, VA. Thankfully, a caring animal advocate stepped in and brought her to safety, and now Bella finally has the opportunity to find the stable, loving forever home she truly deserves. Bella is now being fostered alongside Janet and her two dogs, where she has easily become part of the pack, enjoying playful romps with her new pup friends. She has a moderate energy level, loving playtime but equally content to relax indoors. At night, she happily sleeps alongside the other dogs and clearly treasures canine companionship. Bella would thrive in a home with another dog and an adopter who has a flexible schedule to spend time with her. She may cry briefly when left alone but settles down soon after, so a single-family home is recommended over an apartment or condo. Described by her foster mom as incredibly loving, gentle, and sweet, Bella is wonderful with kids, cats, and other dogs. She is crate-trained, house trained, well-mannered on leash, comes when called, and knows how to sit. Bella adores being close to her people, enjoys belly rubs, time in the yard, and soaking up affection. This gentle soul is ready for a loving, stable forever family.
