About Bella

Meet Bella! ❤️ Bella is an 18-week-old Australian Shepherd mix weighing around 25 lbs and expected to grow to about 35-40 lbs. This sweet and energetic puppy gets along with everyone and is always eager for playtime and cuddles. Just a heads-up—she might try to help out in the kitchen by reaching for the counters! Bella thrives in an active household, ideally with another playful dog or a family ready to engage her in plenty of activities and exercise. While she enjoys playing with dogs her size, she can be a bit intimidated by larger dogs. A fenced yard would be perfect for her, but with some leash training, she can adapt to apartment living too. Still building her confidence, Bella likes to seek reassurance during new experiences. She is learning to walk on a leash and become more independent as she gains experience. With positive reinforcement and patience, she has a bright future ahead as an adventure buddy! Bella is nearly through her teething stage and is still getting guidance on appropriate chew toys. She's discovered the joy of playing with balls and even starts fetching them back! On the potty training front, she’s about 98% house trained but may need occasional supervision to avoid accidents. Bella does well in her crate and will sleep through the night, though she’d much prefer to snuggle right next to you at bedtime. As a Velcro puppy, Bella loves being close to her humans but is also starting to explore on her own. This little one has a blend of playful energy and snuggle-bug potential. While her experience with children is still unknown, Bella will blossom in the right home with love and patience. She's ready to share her love, enjoy playtime, and find her forever soulmate! ❤️ Click apply to start the adoption process.
