About Bella

Meet Bella! Bella is a gentle, clever spirit who finds joy in the little things. She loves slow walks where she can take in every scent, always showing off great leash manners. After exploring, she settles in for a nap on a cozy blanket and is happiest snuggled up in a peaceful, quiet home. Bella’s past has made her sensitive, so she needs a calm, adult-only environment where she can truly relax and trust. While she doesn’t mind house cats, she can be picky with other dogs, especially other females, and will likely do best as the only dog or with careful introductions. Since arriving, Bella keeps her kennel spotless and treats her blankets with care. She’d make a wonderful, loyal companion for someone who values soft evenings and the comfort of a calm, loving dog.
