About Bella

Bella is a spirited two-year-old Alaskan Malamute with a vibrant personality that shines through in everything she does. Having previously lived in a home, she’s familiar with the comforts of family life, including having once used a doggie door. While she may require a bit of a refresher for potty training, she's past that destructive phase and understands crate training. Bella thrives in an active household where she can receive proper training and guidance to reach her potential. With her long, wooly coat, she does require regular grooming. Bella prefers to be the only pet, and her new home should have children aged ten and older, as she is not comfortable with younger kids or small animals. This lovable pup is ready to find a dedicated family that matches her active lifestyle. Start your journey together! Apply now.
