Bella is a 2-year-old female mixed breed dog, weighing in at a small size. With her short coat featuring a blend of white, cream, and black, she’s a lovely sight to behold. While she is spayed and vaccinated, Bella is still working on being house trained. Currently, she resides in Caldwell, TX.

About Bella

Bella is a timid soul who needs patience and understanding as she adapts to new surroundings. Given her gentle disposition, she tends to run and hide when feeling anxious, but with consistency, she’ll flourish. While she enjoys the company of dogs of all sizes and is friendly with cats—she may bark but will show them affection as long as they're kind—she thrives best in homes with children aged 12 and older due to her petite size. Bella has been fully vetted: she’s spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped with lifetime registration. She has not yet learned to be house trained, so potential adopters should keep that in mind. If you’re ready to provide the love and support Bella needs, reach out to learn more about her and the adoption process. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
