About Bella

Meet Bella! Bella's foster describes her as "genuinely perfect," and it's easy to see why! At just one year old and 37 lbs, she embodies hound perfection. Friendly with people and other dogs, Bella is affectionate, easygoing, and has a sweet personality. Having previously lived in a home, she is already house trained and exhibits polite behavior. Unfortunately, she was adopted as a puppy but returned for climbing a 4-foot fence to chase after her neighbor's chickens. Her family was heartbroken to let her go, recognizing what a good girl she is. Bella does display a strong prey instinct, often whining and pulling on the leash when she spots a squirrel or bunny. Her hound genes are definitely in play! Bella combines the look of a larger hound with the ease of handling of a medium-sized companion.
