About Bella

Bella is part of a bonded pair with her best friend Lucy. Their beloved human is receiving hospice care, and now they are looking for a forever family to continue the love they’ve always known. Bella is a Belgian Malinois mix and is 6 years old, just like Lucy, who is a Cattle Dog mix. These two girls have shared their lives and are seeking a home where they can stay together. Both Bella and Lucy are spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and housetrained. They love being indoor companions but also enjoy exploring a fenced backyard, soaking up the sun, and going for walks. Their energetic nature makes them ideal for a family that enjoys outdoor adventures. They have a sweet disposition and do wonderfully with children, but they can't resist chasing squirrels, so a home without cats would be best. Currently located in De Soto, Missouri, their family is even willing to assist with transportation to find them a loving home. As one chapter of their life closes, we're hopeful that another begins, filled with love and companionship. If you're ready to welcome these two devoted friends into your life, prepare for a wonderful experience of friendship and unconditional love. Ready to make a difference? Let’s get started!
