Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Bella is a super awesome dog.....IF she knows and trusts you. She must have been seriously mistreated before being rescued; when approached by strangers and uncomfortable - she lets you know in no uncertain terms. The first is a "look", then a lip curl, then a show of teeth.....a very obvious warning system - she has never bitten anyone. Once she know you and are not going to harm her; she loves to cuddle and give hugs. But this makes it extremely hard to get her adopted. It takes about 10 days for her to warm up to new volunteers. If you are willing to take the time - email blashmett@gmail.com or call/text 217-473-9044 or 473-5530.
