About Belle

Meet Belle! Beautiful Belle is a vibrant 16-month-old, 30-pound Australian Cattle Dog/Australian Shepherd mix who brings together intelligence, energy, and affection in one delightful package. She thrives on having a purpose and enjoys activities that keep both her body and mind active. Whether she's playing fetch, going for long walks, or just hanging out with her favorite people, Belle is eager to be part of the action. This affectionate girl loves quality cuddle time after some exercise. She seeks a loving home where she can feel safe and understood. Belle can experience separation anxiety and may react to unfamiliar people near her home, so she would do best in a calm, predictable environment. She's lived with cats but showed intense interest, so a cat-free home is preferable. Additionally, due to her lack of exposure to children, an adult-only household is recommended. Belle is house-trained, walks well on a leash, and is working on crate training. She needs an experienced, active adopter who understands the needs of herding breeds. With the right support and love, Belle will become a devoted companion who eagerly joins you on all of life’s adventures. If you’re searching for a smart, playful, affectionate sidekick, Belle might just be your perfect match! Belle is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. She's currently being fostered in Spanaway, WA. The adoption fee is $450. Click apply to start the adoption process.
