My name is Bella!

💥 Meet Bella: Your Chunky, Snorting, Zoomie-Fueled Sidekick 💥
Breed: Pit Bull Terrier Mix
Size: Medium-ish, tubular, approximately 43 lbs of pure love and snack-driven momentum
Special Skills: Snoring like a chainsaw, impersonating Chewbacca during cuddles, and demolishing toys like it's her full-time job
Bella is a walking contradiction in the best way possible. She's part cuddly lap potato, part household wrecking ball with a heart of gold. She’s got a lot of love to give — and she gives it LOUDLY. Pet her and she’ll reward you with a symphony of piglet/Chewbacca noises that sound like they came from a galaxy far, far away. 🐷🦝🎤
When she gets excited (which is often), prepare for spontaneous zoomie tornadoes. She’ll fly around the yard like a stubby torpedo, and toys? Oh, they don’t stand a chance. Bella doesn’t just play with toys — she ends them.
Food is her passion, and she takes mealtime very seriously. Anything standing between Bella and her food bowl is at risk of being body-slammed. That includes furniture, humans, or the laws of physics. 🍽️💨
Bella gets along great with the dogs she currently lives with, but on walks, she occasionally tries to “square up” with other pups who give her weird vibes. She’s still learning that leashes are for strolling, not strongman competitions, so you’ll want to keep working on her leash manners (and possibly your biceps).
She LOVES:
🚗 Car rides and running errands (she takes her co-pilot role very seriously)
🚽 Following you into the bathroom like she’s on a secret mission
🛋️ Being the world’s most affectionate couch loaf
📢 Snoring loud enough to summon the HOA
👃 Licking her frito-scented paws with the volume of a jet engine
Personal space? Never heard of it. Bella believes your bubble is her bubble. She will be in your lap, your face, or your shadow at all times. You're welcome.
But life hasn’t always been zoomies and snacks for Bella. She came from a tough situation — kept in a garage and neglected by her previous owners. When she arrived at the rescue, she was heartworm positive and hadn’t experienced much love or care. But thanks to treatment and lots of affection, Bella is now heartworm-free and thriving — and she’s SO ready for the good life she deserves.
Can’t adopt but still want to help dogs like Bella?
We’re always in need of fosters! It’s a great way to change a dog’s life (and probably laugh a lot in the process). Or, if you’d rather help from afar, consider donating to our rescue group — vet bills for heartworm treatment and other care add up fast, and every dollar helps keep tails wagging.
Adopt Bella — because every home needs a snorting, zooming, food-obsessed cuddle loaf. 🐾💖
Foster. Donate. Share. Help us help more pups like her!!!! 🥰AARF Houston transports to approved adopters outside of Texas.
