About Bella

Bella is a sweet and affectionate girl in need of a loving home. Abandoned while in heat, she charmed her way into her foster mom's home, where she was kept safe while awaiting a rescue. Bella's cheerful nature shines when she’s around children, and she enjoys playful interactions with small dogs during her walks. Although she’s a bit unsure about larger dogs, she could likely adjust with time. She enjoys her walks and would thrive with a yard to explore and some toys to play with. Bella is both house and crate trained, making her a wonderful companion. This lovely girl is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and has tested negative for heartworms. Bella hopes to find a family who will cherish her and provide the love she deserves. The adoption fee has been sponsored, so don’t miss the opportunity to bring Bella home! What are you waiting for?
