COMING SOON! Meet the lovely Bella!
Bella will be ready for adoption sometime in July/August. You can apply now to begin the approval process of being her forever family or to foster-to-adopt!
Bella's Dad became homeless and didn't want his baby girl, whom he had her entire life, to be living outdoors. It was a very heartbreaking surrender and Bella is adjusting well considering. She is friendly, snuggly, and good with little kids. Bella lived with a larger dog previously but seems to warm up to the same-sized female the fastest in her foster home.
Bella is an affection-hog. She wants to follow you everywhere and comes when called. She desires constant petting and to be sitting or leaning on you in some way.
At almost nine years old she is spry and may have trained to become a circus dog with her dancing on her two back legs! She is chill enough to cuddle and energetic enough to play and run around.
More recently, the vet exam shows her having a heart murmur and a mass cell tumor (MCT) which we deemed to be inoperable at this time. She doesn't seem to notice since she's still her usual energetic self. Her ideal new forever family would accept and love her, accepting that she may live for a long time with her conditions, and want to love and care for her for the rest of her life. Can you, will you be the one to give this senior lady the best care she deserves, and in turn accept all her love and affection? She's waiting to meet you!

Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most of the dogs, we are only guessing at the predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.
We expect that all adopted dogs will enroll in a formal dog training class with their new owners. Obedience and training classes are an excellent way to learn more about your newly adopted dog, gain handling and training experience, and improve your relationship with your pet.
