My story

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

Gentle Bella will steal your heart. This 12 year old delicate lady appreciates the finer things in life – comfort, love and a delicious meal! Bella likes to go where you go. She’s your 27 lb. shadow! She will bump you with her nose when she wants affection, and who can resist that sweet little face?

Bella loves going for walks and is pretty easy to handle on the leash. Occasionally she decides she's in a hurry to get back home and pulls a little bit. In the car she is a great co-pilot. She's approximately 12 years old, but don’t let her senior status fool you! This girl still has spunk! She will play bow to get you to chase her, and then she chases you. The delight in her face is contagious! Most of the time she's content just relaxing next to you on the couch or napping in the sun.

Bella had one ear canal removed and is hard of hearing in the other ear. Because of this, she can be alarmed easily so she prefers to be approached slowly. Bella likes meeting people but is a little shy at first. She is ok with cats who mind their own business and calm, friendly dogs.

Bella’s people passed away and wants to be part of your family. She prefers a calm, caring home where she doesn’t spend time alone. Bella is house trained, but if left alone she will get very nervous and probably have an accident on the floor.
Bella is fully vaccinated and microchipped. She has dry skin but nothing that a good diet and supplements can’t take care of.

Bella is so comforting to be with, and her sweet disposition will warm your soul. Who wouldn’t want to be the center of this lovely lady’s world?

NOTE: Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.

We expect that all adopted dogs will enroll in a formal dog training class with their new owners. Obedience and training classes are an excellent way to learn more about your newly adopted dog, gain handling and training experience, and improve your relationship with your pet.
