Story
Bella approaches life with a simple philosophy- if she likes you, you'll know it. If she disagrees with you, you'll hear it. You saw her, that is no surprise right! Beagle looks with a beagle voice. This beautiful brindle girl combines the sweetness of a devoted companion with the entertaining commentary of a classic Beagle. She loves her people, enjoys learning new things, and isn't shy about sharing her thoughts when treats or toys are involved.
Fortunately for all of us, most of her thoughts seem to revolve around having fun, spending time with her humans, and being included in whatever adventure comes next.

Estimated to be around 2 years old, weighing 35 pounds, and looking very much like a Beagle/Pittie mix, Bella is a rescue, so breed and age are simply our best guess. What we know for certain is that she is a sweet, intelligent, people-oriented girl who loves to learn, loves to play, and has mastered the art of being an all-around, easy-going good dog.
Go watch Bella Brindle Belle on YouTube, then come right back to read more about this charming little lady.
Bella is currently thriving in a loving foster home where she lives peacefully alongside other dogs. While she enjoys canine company, she's not particularly interested in doggy playgroups or wrestling matches. She's more of a respectful roommate than a social director. She coexists beautifully with the other dogs in her foster home, reads social cues well, and knows how to share space without creating drama.
People, however, are where Bella truly shines. Her foster describes her as simply a good dog, and honestly, that may be the best compliment there is. She loves spending time with her humans, enjoys playing with toys, and gets especially excited when there's an opportunity to learn something new. Training games, working for treats, and showing off her fancy footwork are right up her alley.
Bella can be a little reserved when meeting new people or exploring busy outdoor environments, but she settles in nicely once she feels comfortable. Indoors, her personality blooms quickly. Give her a little time, a little patience, and she'll soon be bouncing around, asking for attention, and showing off the playful side that her foster family knows so well.
Like any good Beagle-inspired lady, Bella is not afraid to share her opinions. She has an adorable bray that comes out when she wants something and thinks you may have made the wrong decision by saying no. Because she can be vocal, apartment living would not be her ideal match. A home where she can express her thoughts without worrying about close neighbors would suit her much better.
Bella would likely be happy as an only dog soaking up all the attention, but she could also do well with a respectful canine companion who understands that friendship doesn't have to involve constant play. As for cats, she showed quite a bit of interest and vocalized toward our house cat she met, so any feline housemates would need to be dog-savvy, and careful introductions would be important.
If you're looking for a medium-energy companion who is sweet, smart, playful, and wonderfully unique, Bella may be exactly the dog you've been waiting for.

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.
At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!
We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
