About Bella

Bella is about 4 years old and weighs around 75 lbs. She was surrendered along with her buddy Gunner, and now they're both looking for loving homes. Bella is sweet, but she tends to be a bit anxious, so an understanding environment is important for her. Once she settles in and gets to know you, she reveals her wonderful, affectionate nature. Bella loves everyone—children, adults, and even babies. However, she does best around calm, respectful people since quick movements can startle her. Having lived with other dogs her whole life, Bella gets along well with them and would thrive in a home with canine companions. She is both housebroken and crate trained, having been crated previously to manage her anxiety. Bella enjoys cuddling on the couch and loves sleeping in bed next to her family, so she's used to a snug and loving family environment. Moving to a shelter has been hard on her, and she is eager to find her forever home. If you're ready to welcome a big, sweet girl into your life, Bella would love to meet you. Adoption is in-person at the Columbiana County Dog Pound & Adoption Center. Call to schedule an appointment if interested. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
