Meet Bellamy!
- Perfect Housemate: Knows the rules of indoor living and settles in beautifully.
- Mr. Tidy: Keeps his kennel impressively clean. No messy roommates here!
- Professional Snuggler: Get ready for cozy couch sessions – Bellamy is a Grade A cuddle bug. He's affectionate and enjoys being around people. He will do best in a calm, predictable, adults-only household.
- Picky Pal: Selective about his dog friends and shows a clear preference for the company of female dogs.
- Road Trip Ready: Calls shotgun! He absolutely loves car adventures.
- Smarty Paws: Already knows "sit," "paw," and "lay down." Eager to please (and learn more!).
- Polite Treat Taker: Has impeccable manners and takes snacks oh-so-gently.
- Expert-Level Toy Lover: Loves his toys and bones to chew on.
- Spa Day Approved: Handles bath time like a champ – squeaky clean and hassle-free! He also likes going in the water on the Sunday Hikes.
- Trail Buddy Extraordinaire: Walks like a dream on leash and is ready to conquer hikes with you.
- Fetch Fanatic: Game on! Bellamy LOVES a good game of fetch.
*Bellamy is Lyme and Ehrlichia positive. Treatment is typically 28 days of doxycycline (an inexpensive antibiotic). With this disease, a dog may always test positive even if treated. The adopter is responsible for treatment. It's always a good idea to plan to keep your dog on a joint supplement for life.
