Story
Meet Belle!
A sweet and soulful almost three-year-old Kelpie mix currently in Azle, TX, whose tricolor coat is just as vibrant as her heart is gentle. Belle is the kind of girl who melts into your side for a cuddle, flashes a warm-eyed smile, and politely sits for treats with the elegance of a pup who has clearly aced her obedience classes. This affectionate girl is happiest soaking up love from her favorite people!
Belle has completed multiple levels of training and knows commands like sit, stay, down, up, go, and kennel! She's crate-trained, house-trained, microchipped, in excellent health, and up to date on vaccinations. At about 30 pounds, she’s a wonderfully portable, medium-sized companion who enjoys daily walks, chew toys, and cozying up with her people. She's exceptionally well-behaved, has never damaged anything or had an indoor accident, and is easy to bathe. Smart, quick to learn, and highly food-motivated, Belle responds beautifully to training!
Belle is also an enthusiastic adventure buddy who absolutely loves the water. After spending time at the beach, she made it clear that splashing and exploring near the water are right up her alley! She’s a fantastic travel companion, too. Once she’s in the car, she’s happy to chill out, enjoy the ride, and keep her person company along the way!
Her love of togetherness extends to everyday life. Belle happily joins her caregiver outside while working in the yard and enjoys simply being part of whatever is happening. She welcomes visitors warmly after a little initial barking and loves meeting people. She's also great with the cat she currently lives with!
Belle's interactions with dogs depend on the setting. She's comfortable around dogs at parks and generally pays little attention to them on hikes. However, she can become protective when unfamiliar dogs enter her home. Since her comfort with a resident dog hasn't been fully assessed, a home without another dog would be the simpler fit. Families with dogs should plan slow introductions on neutral ground.
Belle needs a confident, consistent adult family who will continue her leash training, as she tends to pull on walks. With positive reinforcement, patience, and her eagerness to learn, she has wonderful potential to make progress. Her compatibility with children remains unknown.
Belle is ready to share her intelligence, loyalty, playful adventures, and endless cuddles with a loving family! Could this affectionate, clever girl be your next adventure companion? Contact adopt@joyfulpets.com to learn more about welcoming this incredibly sweet girl into your family!
