Here is what else her foster family had to say:
She does show a little bit of shyness if people she doesn't recognize come up the driveway while she is outside, but as soon as they are shown to be welcomed guests, she runs right over to greet them. There are no other animals in the house so we don't know how she will be around cats but she is amazing with other dogs and shows no aggression. We keep her crated when we leave as she is not completely house trained and has chewed some items when left on her own as she is still a puppy.
Isabella loves going to the dog parks, playing with her toys and having fun with her people. She is not afraid of anything ans seems to be a confident, well socialized pup. She is quiet except when she gets really excited and playfully invites you to wrestle or play tug-of-war with happy barks.
Isabella is intelligent and learns quickly. She already knows sit, paw, lay down, and we are working on stay, down, and drop it. She doesn't counter surf too often but if left alone may become curious. She is definitely on her way to being house trained. We do use a crate when we leave but it is only for a maximum of 5 hrs. She doesn't like the crate and knows the word 'crate' but lays down after about a minute of being in it. She does have some pull on leash but is easily manageable. She is getting better at the car. She does need some coaxing to get in and out but is usually fine while driving. She has never tried to get out the front door or to escape - she knows where she lives and likes to keep it that way!
Bella is a people pleaser. She will come and greet you at the door and make sure you know she's there. She sleeps like a human and cuddles like one too. She is a very beautiful dog and has such a thirst for life.
If you would like to make Isabella part of your family, please submit an application for consideration.
