About Bella

Bella may be named after the famous Twilight character, but her intense stare isn't about supernatural romance; it’s her way of asking for more treats. This lovely lady is a mix of eager learner and snack enthusiast, thriving during training sessions where she eagerly trades her focus for delicious rewards. Though she can feel a bit unsure in unfamiliar situations, Bella's confidence grows daily as she learns the world isn't so intimidating. Her ideal home would be one with adults only and no other dogs; she's a bit particular about her pack. Bella's biggest dilemma isn't choosing sides in a fictional battle but rather deciding between chicken or peanut butter treats after dinner. If you want to meet this sweet girl and support her treat-loving ways, come visit her at Asheville Humane Society today. Bella is currently enjoying some downtime in a foster home; to arrange a meet-up, please email adoptions@ashevillehumane.org!
