About Bella

Bella is a spayed female Dachshund mix, around 6 months old and weighing about 15 lbs. This playful pup adores her toys and chews, enjoys cuddles and belly rubs, and loves being with her person. She does not get along with cats, though with patience and training, she might adjust to a confident feline. Bella has strong separation anxiety and prefers a home where someone is often around; she thrives with a yard where she can run and play. She’s great on a leash, picks up cues quickly, and has mastered the doggy door at her foster home, keeping accident-free. While she may get a bit upset when alone in her crate, she settles down after a bit. Despite her rough beginnings, Bella is eager to find a forever family that will shower her with love. Once she warms up, she becomes a loyal companion. If you’re ready to welcome a new friend into your home, Bella might just be the one! Think you are the one? Submit an application!
