My name is Tips Bella!

Tips Bella is a sweet, steady soul with a calm, loyal nature. She’s happiest when life moves at an easy pace — a morning breakfast, a gentle stroll around the block, and then a good stretch on the sofa nearby while you get on with your day.

After a nice greeting on the leash and a thorough sniff, she welcomes all the affection anyone is willing to offer. She’s affectionate without being needy, protective without being pushy, and always glad to be close to her person.

Tips enjoys relaxed walks, ambles really — about a mile suits her perfectly — and absolutely loves car rides, whether it’s a trip out or just sitting in the driveway watching the world go by. She takes baths in stride and is a lovely, calm, observant presence around the house.

She’s mostly house-trained (especially overnight) and knows her basic commands, including sit and stay. Food, affection, and kind words are her biggest motivators.

She has briefly met children and done well, so she does have potential to live with kiddos, and even a well matched dog friend. Mostly she needs structure, understanding, and steady companionship. Since leaving the shelter, she’s settled beautifully into her new routine — a loyal, easygoing companion who simply wants to share your space and your day.
