About Bella

Bella is ready to turn the page on her past and start fresh with a loving family. Having spent much of her life without the stability she deserves, this sweet girl is hoping for a forever home where she can feel safe and cherished. Bella came to us as an injured stray after her owner made the difficult decision to surrender her. She has a noticeable limp, and we’re actively working to understand her medical needs. We're looking for a few specific outcomes for Bella: a rescue partner to continue her care, a loving adopter who will provide ongoing veterinary support, or a foster-to-adopt family where she can feel at home while we address her initial concerns. Any of these options would mean the world to her. Despite her past, Bella remains calm and gentle, showcasing her affectionate nature. If you’re someone who believes that senior dogs deserve love and a second chance, we encourage you to meet her. Just a heads-up: once you meet Bella, leaving without her may be tough! Her adoption fee has been waived for November!
