About Bella

Bella is a 9-year-old yellow female Labrador Retriever weighing 70 pounds. Her previous family had to move and couldn't take her along, so they turned to Lab Rescue for help. Bella has been with them since she was just 8 weeks old, and it was a hard decision to let her go. Now, she's looking for a new home where she can feel loved and secure. Affectionately described by her foster, Bella is playful and extremely loyal. She loves to follow her people around the house or snuggle up for attention. Her favorite activities include playing fetch and spending time with kids, making her an excellent addition to a family. Though she's a bit anxious in new situations, Bella quickly warms up in a safe environment. She’s housetrained, kennel trained, and gets along well with children and other dogs, provided they’re not dominant. Bella isn't as fond of cats. While she still needs to improve her leash manners as she tends to pull when excited, she loves car rides and is generally a gentle companion. Her only quirk? She’s not a fan of fireworks. Exciting news — Bella is scheduled to be spayed and receive further medical care soon. Whoever adopts Bella will gain a sweet and dedicated friend. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
