About Belle Isle

Meet Belle Isle! This sweet girl is one year old and is still finding her footing in the world, but her affectionate nature is already shining through. She enjoys being close to her people, happily leaning in for pets and placing her paws in laps, eager to say hello. Although new sights and sounds can sometimes make her a bit nervous, she bounces back quickly and is ready to build her confidence with a patient, loving family. While Belle Isle seems to know the "sit" command, she demonstrated a preference for exploring over playing during her evaluation. She has reportedly done well with other dogs, although she tends to prefer sniffing around rather than engaging directly. With slow introductions and a thoughtful approach, she may welcome a canine companion in her life. The previous shelter indicated that Belle Isle was housetrained, but she will need time to adapt to her new environment. This lovely pup would thrive with a family willing to provide love, encouragement, and patience as she settles in. Older children are recommended, and it's essential that all family members meet her before adoption. Belle Isle is spayed, microchipped, and her vaccinations are up to date. Could she be the new family member you've been looking for? Come visit Belle Isle or reach out for more information at adoptions@adoptlansing.org or call 517-626-6060. What are you waiting for?
