About Bella

Bella is a wonderful dog who's spent over 1,800 days waiting for the right family to choose her. At 6 years and 9 months old, she still has so much love to offer. With a playful spirit and a big personality, Bella thrives on attention and enjoys being part of the action. Although she has a history of confinement, she’s crate-trained and loves to engage with her people. This affectionate girl would thrive in a home with older children and does well with other dogs after proper introductions. Unfortunately, she does not get along with cats. Bella has mild skin allergies and requires a salmon or beef-based diet without poultry. Most importantly, she needs a family who will include her in their lives, shower her with love, and ensure she never feels unwanted again. After five years, it's time for Bella to find the home she deserves. She’s available for adoption through Spring Branch Rescue in Richmond, TX, and transport can be arranged to the Pacific Northwest and East Coast. Let’s turn Bella's wait into a happy ending.
