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:

We rescued Bella from friends of ours who needed to rehome her and thought she'd be a good fit in our home full of other rescues. Unfortunately that has proven to not be the case so we must rehome her.

Bella is a lovely dog. She likes to play, she's smart, loving, protective, she's very food motivated. However because of the mistreatment by her previous owners she also has some downsides (none are deal breakers, they just make her not right for our house). She has separation anxiety but does well in a kennel and she doesn't destroy the house if left outside the kennel. She has food aggression towards other animals but not towards humans. She doesn't bite just chases them away. She's very jealous of other animals and people. She won't bite them but she likes to be the center of attention. She's also very protective of the house. If you take her outside, she's fine seeing people across the street, but if they come into your house, expect some barking and growling until made familiar.
