About Bella

Meet Bella, an adorable one-year-old mixed breed dog that showcases the beauty of a Schnauzer and Poodle. This sweet girl arrived with heavily matted fur, which had to be shaved, but her soft, wavy white hair will grow back beautifully. Bella was rescued from a tiny shelter in Indianapolis where she spent too long outside on a chain, waiting for a better life. Now, at 22 pounds, she is a small but slightly chunky girl who could use a little weight loss. Bella is exceptionally affectionate and gets along well with everyone—children, cats, small toy breeds, and even a German Shepherd! She thrives in a loving environment, whether it's the cuddles from the kids or snuggles with grandma. Bella is gentle and sweet-natured, showing that her inner charm matches her lovely appearance. While she is currently working on house training, her foster family confidently leaves her alone without any destructive behavior. This wonderful dog is available through Unchained Souls Canine Rescue with an adoption donation fee of $350. Give Bella a chance to fill your home with love and joy. What are you waiting for?
