About Bella

Meet Bella, a stunning young adult Newfoundland mix looking for her forever home. This intelligent girl has a lot of potential, and with the right guidance, she’s sure to become a loyal companion. Bella is eager to learn and would thrive with continued training using positive reinforcement. So far, she seems to enjoy the company of other dogs, but we're still waiting for her behavioral evaluation to learn more about her social skills. As for cats, Bella is still figuring that out, so her feline compatibility is unknown. Given her playful nature, older children (10 and up) will be the best fit for her, as she can get a bit jumpy sometimes. We’re excited to continue exploring her personality and needs. If you think Bella could be the perfect match for you, come by Dessin Animal Shelter to meet her! We're open every day from 12–3, and no appointment is needed.
