Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Bella is a total love bug and was very well loved and cared for by her former parents. She was surrendered after her elderly care giver had to go into a nursing home. She likes to be wherever people are and is super affectionate. She's house trained but is not fond of her crate. We really don't think she needs it as she has been left alone for a few hours in the kitchen and we've returned to find everything fully intact (and no accidents)! She is very well behaved, isn't destructive at all, walks great on a leash and overall very well adjusted. She is also GREAT with our cats. Even our skittish cat isn't afraid of her. She currently lives with two dogs and does just great with both of them as well.
Bella has one specific request of her adopters: She needs to be allowed to sleep in bed with you under the covers! She is a very quiet sleeper and sleeps through the night. Bella is estimated to be a year old and weighs 9 lbs.
Since we don't know at all what doggy genes are in the dogs make up (we don't know who mom and dad are!), we are just guessing on breed.
All dogs are spayed or neutered prior to adoption. They have all had a vet exam, are up to date on vaccinations, have been given a dewormer, are treated for fleas, have a heartworm test if over 6 months old and are up to date on a heartworm preventative.
Please note that because we require a home visit at the time of adoption we can only place animals in homes within a 60 mile radius of Minneapolis.If you are interested in meeting this dog please fill out the pre-adoption application on our website at http://www.safehandsrescue.org under Adopt and we will get back to you to arrange a meeting in the foster home.
We also have an Adoptable Dog Meet & Greet on Saturday August 6, 2016, at Fetch Delivers Warehouse, 783 Harding St. NE. Suite 150, Minneapolis, MN 55413, from noon - 2 pm. Occasionally dogs cannot make it to the Meet & Greet, therefore feel free to verify if your dog of interest is able to attend. Please bring a copy of your pre-adoption application.
