About Bella

Meet Bella! This sweet 7-year-old Miniature Schnauzer is searching for a new home after a recent change in her life. Bella arrived at our rescue with her companions, Baxter and Barklee, when their owner had to move into a nursing home. Though this transition has been significant for her, Bella is gradually finding her footing and revealing her personality. At first, she can be a bit shy, but with a little patience, her true confidence shines through. As she opens up, you’ll discover her playful side, and she genuinely enjoys the company of other dogs. Although Bella is blind in her left eye, it doesn’t hinder her zest for life or her ability to make friends. Rather, she just needs a kind, understanding home that will allow her to settle in at her own pace. After losing the only home she's known, Bella deserves a soft place to call her own, where she can feel safe and loved. This lovely girl is eagerly waiting for her forever family.
