My story

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

Oh hi… I’m Bella. I know I look all confident standing out there, but truth is, I’m a gentle girl with a soft heart. I’m a spayed female, just about 2 years and 9 months old, and I weigh 35 pounds: perfectly sized for walks, couch cuddles, and following you from room to room.

I ended up back at Happy Bark's partner shetler through no fault of my own. Sometimes humans realize they weren’t quite ready to give a dog the time and care they deserve, and that was the case with my mom. She just has too many jobs and other responsibilities. That’s okay. I don’t hold grudges. I’m just grateful for another chance to find my forever person.

At first, I can be a little shy. I like to take things slow and make sure I’m safe. Once I know I am, my sweet side comes right out. People say I’m sweet as pie, and I really try my best to be a good girl. I get along well with other dogs and enjoy their company. Cats? I think they’re interesting little creatures—I might watch them with curiosity, but I’m polite and not aggressive at all.

I’m on the smaller side of medium, with a shiny black coat and warm tan markings that make me look very serious… until you see my tail wag. If you’re someone who believes patience, kindness, and quiet love go a long way, I think we might be perfect together. I’m ready to be someone’s loyal Bella for life.
