Bella is a smart and gentle soul who thrives when given the chance to explore without pressure. Although she may start off shy, she opens up beautifully in a calm environment where she can decompress. Bella is great at knowing basic commands, especially "sit," and enjoys the company of dogs who share her play style, although she prefers smaller gatherings over large dog parks. Her introverted nature means she may need some time to warm up to new people and situations, so patience will go a long way in her transition to a new home. She will do best in a home without cats. Bella qualifies for our 7-day Foster-to-Adopt program, making it easy for you to see if she's the right fit. This medium-sized, spayed female is approximately 2 years and 8 months old, weighing around 46.2 lbs. All adoptable pets at our shelter are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. Located in Des Moines, IA, Bella is ready for her forever home. Don't miss the chance to meet her!
