About Annalise Aka Bella

Annalise, also known as Bella, is a joyful senior lady with a heart full of personality. Initially, she may be shy and nervous around new people, needing some time to adapt to her environment. After a few weeks, her true character shines through, and you’ll see her playful side emerge. Bella loves to roll around in her dog bed with a big grin and has recently taken to playing with stuffed toys, dashing happily around the house. While she enjoys affection, Bella likes her space when meeting other dogs, preferring to be the sole pet in her home. She is house trained but also uses a large pee pad when necessary. Her appetite is hearty, so meals will need to be managed to help her shed a couple of pounds. Walking on a leash is one of her strengths, although going up stairs can be challenging for her. Bella adores car rides and the warmth of a loving family. Ideally, she would flourish best in a calmer home, particularly with a retired person who can shower her with the attention she craves. Bella was brought to PACC after her previous owner faced health challenges. She is looking for a forever home where she can be cherished as the wonderful companion she is. Your new best friend is just one click away.
