Story
Hi, I’m Bellagio!
Professional couch potato, part-time comedian, full-time love bug.
I’m the kind of girl who believes life is best enjoyed from a comfy couch with my favorite humans nearby. I’m friendly, gentle, and happiest in a quiet, lower-energy home where we can lounge together and just be. I don’t need constant action. I’d much rather supervise naps, soak up affection, and make you laugh with my silly little personality.
A few important things to know about me: I’m a bit picky about my food and I prefer to eat small amounts (quality over quantity, obviously). I’m smart, observant, and low-key funny in a “did she just do that?” way. I get along well with kids and other dogs, though I appreciate slow introductions so I can ease into new friendships at my own pace.
Take me outside and I’m all about having fun! A home with a fenced yard would be perfect for me, but fair warning: if there’s a gap at the bottom, I might channel my inner Houdini and see if I can squeeze through. A girl’s gotta test her limits, right?
If you’re looking for a playful, loving, slightly mischievous companion who will add a touch of elegance to your everyday life, I just might be your girl.

Adopting from Path of Hope Rescue
Our adoption process sets us apart. We specialize in learning about you and your family to find just the right fit for you. Our Matchmakers are not only good at what they do; they will also guide you through the entire process.
Our Minimum Adoption Donation is $550 for puppies under a year and $450 for dogs a year and older. We are a WA state registered non-profit and rely heavily on adoption donations to cover the expenses associated with saving lives. Our dogs are spayed/neutered prior to adoption; microchipped with free lifetime registration; and up to date on DAPP, Bordetella, and Rabies vaccinations (when age appropriate) and deworming and heartworm treatment/prevention. Adopters can also earn a $100 training refund if they attend (6) hours of any in person training course.
Long Distance adopters (one hour or more from Spokane) may choose to travel to Spokane to pick up their dog or use our monthly transport option, Puppy Delivery Express, for an additional delivery donation of $250. Puppy Delivery Express currently delivers dogs throughout Washington and to parts of Montana, Idaho, and Oregon.
About Path of Hope Rescue
At Path of Hope Rescue, our goal is to make EVERY DOG. WANTED. Our two employees and army of volunteers focus on transporting pregnant dogs and puppies from Texas, the number one kill state in America. The dogs we rescue are in poor living conditions and on euthanasia lists in shelters that are inundated with unwanted animals. We want to give these dogs a chance and bring them to the Pacific Northwest to find adoptive, loving homes.
We are 100% foster based; our dogs are fostered in loving homes where they are house and crate trained and learn basic obedience and leash skills. Dogs experiencesocialization opportunities with people, places, and other animals, and they receive the attention required to become well-rounded, healthy, and affectionate dogs that they would not otherwise receive in a shelter environment.
Our commitment does not end when the dog is adopted. Path of Hope offers post adoption owner support including information on making the dog’s transition to your home a smooth one; recommendations for Preferred Trainers; advice on pet behavior and wellness topics; Facebook litter groups to keep in touch with fellow adopters; and invitations to local rescue hosted events.
