About Bella

Meet Bella, a charming one-year-old Lab/Retriever mix searching for a loving foster or forever home. Currently in a Puerto Rico shelter, Bella's journey to joy is just beginning. She's around 22 pounds and has the sweetest demeanor, showing glimpses of her playful personality as she warms up to new friends. Bella does well with other dogs, but we haven’t seen her with cats or kids yet; however, we're ready to help with the integration process if you have other pets. Bella embraces every opportunity for love and companionship, making her perfect for a home where she can feel safe and cherished. She needs an active family that can ensure regular walks, trips to the dog park, or even doggie daycare, which will help her transition smoothly to her new life. Once Bella realizes she's safe, her joyful spirit shines through, complete with goofy faces and a wagging tail that can light up any room. If you're looking for a beautiful companion to watch grow and thrive, Bella might just be the dog for you! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
