About Bella
Meet Bella, a lively girl in search of her forever home! She's a delightful mix of Labrador Retriever and Hound, roughly three years old as of April 2026, and weighs about 51 lbs. Bella thrives on adventure and is eager to have her very own humans for fun walks and playtime in the park. She gets along well with other dogs, though we haven't observed her with cats or children yet. If you're interested in how she could integrate with kids or kitties, we're ready to discuss strategies with you. Bella’s journey has come with some hurdles. She tested positive for heartworms, a condition that’s treatable and not contagious to humans or other pets. After receiving the necessary treatment, she will resume her joyful and active life. Patience is key during her recovery, as she’ll need a calm environment for several weeks. This happy pup is looking for loving companionship, and she promises to return your affection tenfold. If you think you can provide Bella with the calm, love, and adventure she craves, she can’t wait to meet you! We are here to answer any questions as she settles into a foster home. What do you say? Is Bella the companion you’ve been dreaming of?
