About Bella

Meet Bella, a lovely 9-month-old girl ready to find her forever family. With her sweet and gentle nature, Bella brings a playful puppy energy and much potential. Estimated to be around 50 lbs when fully grown, she will make a wonderful medium-sized companion. Bella thrives on affection and is naturally curious, enjoying the company of both her dog friends and her human companions. While she has a bit of a silly and mischievous side, she is also quite sensitive and is still learning how to navigate the world safely. Bella’s journey began far from ideal; she and her siblings were found abandoned as tiny puppies, left in the garbage. Rescued by a kind-hearted stranger, they received the care and kindness they desperately needed. Despite her rocky beginning, Bella has come a long way and is now seeking the love of a forever home. Adjusting to home life will be new for Bella, and her adopter should be ready to continue focusing on training, socialization, and building her confidence with patience. Bella does well with other dogs and might benefit from a friendly, confident canine companion to help guide her during the transition. She is already spayed, microchipped, fully vaccinated, and on prevention treatments. Adopting Bella is about more than just finding a pet; it’s about discovering the joy of watching a puppy grow and learn what it means to be loved. If you’re ready to offer training, laughter, and support as she blossoms into an amazing dog, apply to adopt Bella today!
