About Bell

Meet Bell! This charming senior gentleman is eager to leave shelter life behind for a loving family and warm home. At 9 years old, Bell is full of personality and can’t wait to show it off. He experiences some seizures but has been feeling much better and is ready for his next chapter. Bell knows commands like sit and shake, which he performs eagerly for a tasty treat. His love for toys shines through, though he tends to be a bit possessive, so older kids might be the best match for him. We adore how he prances over to greet new friends with excitement. He thrives on attention and affection, making sure everyone knows he’s around. If you have a space in your heart for a playful senior with tons of character, Bell would love to meet you. He's ready to embrace a new beginning with a family of his own!
