My story

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

Bella Mae - surrendered when owner could not longer care for her. Information shared about the dog: she is active, somewhat timid, and gentle. She does well with men, women and small children. She is house-trained, gets along with other animals and rides well in a car. A good placement for her would be a young couple or family.

Please note: information was shared with DAWG at time of surrender, DAWG cannot confirm or make guarantees. She has been intimidated by the shelter environment but she is steadily making progress.

$75 adoption fee: she is spayed, microchipped, has age-appropriate vaccinations. She tested NEG for heartworms, has been treated for parasites and started on flea/tick/heartworm prevention.
