About Bella

Bella is 6 years and 9 months old and has spent over 1,800 days watching other dogs find their forever families. She’s waited, hoping someone would see her and say, "That's our girl." Despite a rough start, Bella has so much love to give. As a puppy, she was often confined to a crate while the kids played, always wanting to join in on the fun. Now, she’s a happy, playful girl full of personality. Bella is affectionate, loves attention, and might just be a little chatty at times, which adds to her charm. She’s crate-trained and enjoys being around people, dreaming of a family to call her own. Bella would thrive in a home with older children and lives harmoniously with other dogs, given proper introductions. However, she does not get along with cats. Bella has mild skin allergies and requires a salmon or beef-based diet with no poultry. She’s looking for a family who will cherish her, giving her the love and life she’s been missing. Five years is long enough for Bella to wait. She's ready to be someone's favorite dog. Bella is available for adoption through Spring Branch Rescue in Richmond, TX, with transport options to the Pacific Northwest and East Coast. Start the journey to give Bella the home she deserves!
