Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Bella is lovely girl who will make an excellent family pet. She is especially good with children of all ages, friendly and affectionate with everyone. She is fully trained and hoping to find her forever family and start her new life. Bella is approximately 3 - 4 years old and currently weighs approximately 12 lbs.
Here is what Bella's foster family had to say about her:
Bella is a great dog and will make a wonderful family pet. She is very affectionate, and has an excellent demeanor. She is very good with children of all ages including toddlers. She is a very loving girl and enjoys being with people. She has really enjoyed going places and meeting new friends both dogs and humans. I don't have cats in the home but I am sure she would be fine with dog savvy cats.
Bella is very quiet in the home and overall has very good house manners. Her only issue is that she will beg for food so I am thinking her previous home fed her table scraps. Also, if the garbage is left out she will get into it. As mentioned she is quiet in the home however she will bark when someone comes to the door. She will also bark if you try to crate her - she just hates it and would bark constantly while in it so I just stopped putting her in there. She is so well behaved in the home and can be fully trusted to be left on her own that a crate really isn't needed. She has been left alone when I went out and she hasn't gotten into anything she shouldn't.
Bella is fully house trained. She also knows her basic commands. She sits and waits to cross the street, knows how to "sit pretty", and has excellent recall. She always comes when called. She doesn't appear to have any anxieties or fears of anything or anyone. She is equally friendly and affectionate with everyone. Her energy level depends on what you are doing. She can run around and play like a puppy but also settles easily when you want to just watch tv and cuddle. Really she is happy to be doing whatever you want to do.
Bella loves going for her walks. She does tug a bit at first but usually settles in once we get going and is fine. She is friendly with everyone we meet on our walks. She is also very good when you take her out in the car.
All round Bella would make any family happy and would be a great addition. She is loving, simply awesome with children, a great protector who lets you know when someone is at the door, a good friend and listener, and just an overall lovely girl.
If you would like to make Bella a part of your family, please visit our main website at http://www.uglymuttsdogrescue.com and submit an adoption application.
