My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

The only thing cuter than a fuzzy five-month-old sheltie puppy is…….absolutely nothing! “Bella Mia” is a sprightly 18# spayed female puppy that is filled with good health and charm. She adores men, women, other dogs and cats. Children over the age of 8-10 would be lots of fun but toddlers would be too rough with this fine-boned beauty. She was relinquished by her owner because of multiple dogs and not enough time to care for them properly. She seems to have known only kind treatment in her life. Her foster mom gives her rave revues. “She is a bundle of puppy energy with a very loving side. She will need lots of guidance and patience for her to grow up to be all the dog she can be.” Bella Mia (loosely translated to “my little beauty”) has received her puppy series of vaccines, a 1-year rabies vaccine, some baseline bloodwork and a microchip in addition to her spay surgery. Her housebreaking is coming along very well and she will alert you to open the door if you are paying close attention. Another companion dog in the family will be the key to completing Bella’s training. When you say to your current dog, “come”, Bella will watch and learn to respond to the command when your well-behaved dog comes. So the key is to have an adult dog that loves to play and will teach Bella all the things a good dog should know. Some dogs will be annoyed by a puppy and their antics. That is just one of the things to consider before you adopt a dog. We will be glad to help you figure out what dog may be best for your family. A puppy or a senior? A collie versus a sheltie? Lot of pros and cons and lots of discussion to decide who will be your next best friend. Please begin the process for adoption by completing the online application which you will find on the website. From there, you will have an e-mail confirmation that we received it and you will have a follow-up phone call if we feel you are a good potential applicant for the dog. Lots of good conversation with the foster family, a reference from your veterinarian and a home visit round out the screening process. We take dog adoption very seriously and hope you will put a lot of thought into why you want to adopt a dog and help us make that perfect match for your family. We appreciate you taking the time to visit with us. We will look forward to hearing from you as well.
