Why I need a new home

Does not get along with other pet

My story

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

Bella is 8 years old (December 28th 2010) and has plenty of energy left for a morning and evening walk/jog. She was rescued by us from Fairfax County Animal Shelter in March 2019.

Well trained (Sit, come, stay, lay down, paw, speak, drop, no, and off). She is also crate trained and will self crate on command. Comfortable in crate while we are away at work up to 10 hours. She absolutely loves tennis balls and will do anything to play fetch with you. She does show a strong preference toward male owners but listens well to both. When allowed she does snuggle on bed and couch with you. However, she easily understands when its time to get off and stay off. Bella is good on a leash and can be a great running partner.

Bella has shown aggression toward other animals when off leash. However, she walks well on leash by other dogs. To be happy, Bella needs to be the only pet in a home.

Crate, bed, toys, leashes, treats, and food available to new owner.
