Meet Bellamy: Perfect Housemate, Professional Snuggler, Fetch Fanatic!
Bellamy is a handsome 5-year-old gentleman who has mastered the art of being a perfect companion. Whether he is showing off his impressive obedience skills or settling in for a cozy snuggle session, this affectionate dog is eager to please. He is ready to bring his impeccable manners and love for adventure to a forever home where he can truly shine.
Why Bellamy Is A Catch
● House Manners: He is a perfect housemate who settles in beautifully and keeps his kennel impressively clean.
● Cuddle Bug: Bellamy is a professional snuggler who loves being around people, though he will do best in a calm, predictable, adults-only household.
● Smarty Paws: He is eager to please and already knows "sit," "paw," and "lay down."
● Gentle Soul: He has impeccable manners and takes treats oh-so-gently.
● Adventure Ready: He walks like a dream on a leash, loves car adventures, and is ready to conquer hikes with you.
● Playful Spirit: A true fetch fanatic, he loves his toys and bones to chew on.
● Water And Grooming: He handles bath time like a champ and enjoys going in the water on Sunday hikes.
● Dog Friends: He is selective about his dog friends and shows a clear preference for the company of female dogs.

*Bellamy is Lyme and Ehrlichia positive. Treatment is typically 28 days of doxycycline (an inexpensive antibiotic); 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.
