Backstory:
Bella is our oldest dog resident in the shelter: she’s Estimated to be around 9-10yrs old and was very malnourished weighing only 40lbs when she got here. You could count each bone in her body, and she was claimed to be a stray that the people who brought her in found and didn’t want. They refused to tell us where she was picked up other than a road in east point.
Since she’s been here she has gained 8-10lbs (she’s hyper and hard to weigh lol). Bella is a boss lady and can be dominant toward other female dog, so she would do best with male dogs or as an only dog. She does great with kids, would love to run and play all day and was very gentle but due to her size kids in the home would need to be older and sturdy because she’s a ball of energy. We also tested her with cats and she showed no interest at all, gave them a sniff and walked away.
Bell loves going on walks/runs, she loves to have free time outside In the play yard and she’s very treat and food motivated. She absolutely loves balls and would play with them all day if she could. She carries around her ball in her mouth every she goes like a puppy!
Remember, Bell is a boxer mix breed and is already a senior (although she thinks she’s a puppy) so she really just needs a loving retirement home where she can live out her golden years surrounded by love and comfort
