My story

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

Hi there, I'm Bella. Though I'm an adult I still have plenty of energy! I love to go on walks and do great meeting people and dogs alike! In my last home I actually lived with a chihuahua and did great with them. There was a bad run in I had with a great dane so it's best I meet other dogs before going home with them to make sure I'm not too scared of them. I've lived with kids and done well with them. I know 'sit' 'no' and 'outside' I'm was very good with potty training in my last home and would cry at the door when I needed out. Like a lot of shepherds I have separation anxiety and should be crated when alone otherwise I'm good at escaping or being a little destructive inside. This can be worked on in a home by making a crate a safe place for me. I am a huge cuddle when I'm comfy and loved being loved on! I also love sunbathing, it was one of my favorite things to do in my last home.
