My story

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

Bella is an intelligent and affectionate dog with a heart full of love! She’s a quick learner and knows just about every trick in the book. Bella is incredibly active, and could happily spend her days playing fetch and swimming.

Though she’s a sweet girl, Bella’s past of abuse and neglect has made it difficult for her to trust people and other dogs. She will need a patient and experienced owner who can provide her with the guidance she needs, especially when meeting new people. Slow introductions will be key, and Bella should not interact with other dogs. Thankfully, she’s learned many ways to manage her nerves around strangers, and with the right training, she’ll continue to grow in confidence.

Bella would thrive in an adult-only home with a fully fenced backyard, where she can feel safe, secure, and loved. If you’re looking for a loyal companion and have the time and experience to help her build trust, Bella will reward you with a deep bond and endless love.

Take the Pet Home

If all goes well we will book an appointment for you to pick up your new family member! At this time we will complete paperwork and payment.

Additional adoption info

Due to the high volume of applicants, we are only able to move forward with families that are ready to adopt now. If you aren’t ready to adopt now, please apply when you are ready to welcome a dog into your home. After your initial appointment, once the adoption has been approved, we will require the dog to be picked up within one week unless we determine otherwise.

Our hope is that all homes are a forever home, however we understand that circumstances can change, and that sometimes it just isn't the right fit. Whether you discover this three days after the adoption, or three years after the adoption, we will always welcome our dogs back with open arms. Their well-being is our top concern.

All of our dogs are spayed or neutered, microchipped, examined by a vet, dewormed, given flea and tick prevention, groomed

Our adoption fees:

Under 1 year old (11 months or less) - $950
1-7 years old - $800
8+ years old - $500
Sanctuary - $50
Palliative* - $50
Special Needs* - $50
Bonded pairs - 30% off the total price

*For Palliative and Special Needs dogs we will discuss on a case by case basis what Dog Tales will cover financially, if applicable
