About Bella

Bella is a beautiful long-haired French Bulldog looking for her new beginning in Rochester, NY. She joined the rescue after her former owner lost their housing and could no longer care for her. Arriving quite underweight at just 12 pounds, Bella has been steadily regaining her strength thanks to regular meals and attentive veterinary care. She’s on track for a healthy 20-pound goal and continues to thrive in a safe, stable environment. Bella is scheduled to be spayed on June 5th and will be ready for adoption after her recovery. Social and lively, Bella loves following her humans around, greeting every visitor with enthusiasm and always eager to join in on walks, yard romps, or simply hanging out. Her playful energy and classic Frenchie charm make her a delight to be around. Because she becomes too excited around other dogs and hasn’t quite mastered polite canine manners, Bella needs to be the only pet in her home. She’ll need a secure, fenced-in yard to explore and burn off energy safely. After everything Bella’s been through, she’s ready for a family who’ll spoil her and let her shine as the center of attention she was born to be. Ready to fall in love?
