Story
Meet Bella — a 6-month-old sweet, friendly, and absolutely lovable puppy who is ready to find her forever home. Bella is the kind of puppy who instantly makes a home feel warmer. She has a gentle, happy personality and a friendly nature that shines through the moment you meet her. She loves people, loves attention, and most of all, loves being included in whatever her family is doing. Currently in a foster home with both kids and other dogs, Bella has shown just how wonderful she is in a busy family environment. She gets along beautifully with everyone she meets and has proven to be calm, social, and easy to have around. With children, she is patient, affectionate, and gentle. She enjoys being part of their world, whether that’s hanging out nearby, joining in on play, or simply relaxing in the same space. She fits into a busy home with ease and has a naturally kind spirit that makes her very trustworthy and loving around kids. Watch her YouTube video now https://youtu.be/UMp6Hm9AtTo?si=24fd_qu7shs2nC2H With other dogs, Bella is equally wonderful. She enjoys their company, plays nicely, and seems to really enjoy being part of a group. She is social and well-mannered with other pups, making her a great candidate for a home with existing dogs or someone looking to add a second companion. She has a balanced energy that allows her to play and have fun, but also settle in calmly when it’s time to relax. Bella is also a very smart puppy who is learning new skills in her foster home. She is attentive and eager to please, and she responds well to guidance. She is the kind of dog who wants to understand what is being asked of her and is motivated by praise, connection, and routine. With continued support, she is going to grow into an incredibly well-rounded and well-behaved adult dog. One of Bella’s favorite things in the world is being outside. She loves fresh air, exploring her surroundings, and taking in all the sights and smells that come with outdoor time. Whether it’s a walk, a yard to roam in, or just sitting outside with her people, Bella is happiest when she gets to enjoy the world around her. She also has a playful side that makes her so much fun to be around. Bella enjoys toys, interaction, and any opportunity to engage with her people or dog friends. She brings a light, joyful energy into the home and knows how to make everyday moments feel a little more fun. At the same time, Bella has a soft and affectionate side that makes her just as happy to slow down and relax. After playtime or exploring, she enjoys being close to her people, soaking up affection, and simply being part of the family. She has a calm, loving presence that makes her easy to bond with and easy to love. Bella is truly a special puppy — friendly, smart, playful, gentle, and full of heart. She adapts beautifully to family life and seems to thrive when she is surrounded by love and companionship. She is ready for a forever home where she can continue to grow, learn, and share all the love she has to give. If you’re looking for a sweet, social, and loving companion who fits right into family life, Bella may be the perfect match. https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/69f3850b4a666c445e032516 Questions?

Story
Where do we start with this beauty? Precious is exactly that – Precious! She came to us in the beginning of June – she was found all alone in the middle of nowhere. She had almost no hair. Precious was posted on Facebook as the finder could not keep her, and one of our amazing fosters saw her and immediately went to pick her up. Precious has been on continuous medical baths as well as nexgard, and she is now thriving! She weighs 5 lbs and is approximately 12 weeks old. While we do not know who her parents are, we believe she is chihuahua, dachshund and pug mix. We do not think she will get over 10 lbs once full grown as she has only grown 1 lb in 4 weeks. This girl is playful and rambunctious. She likes to hop around and give little barks out with excitement. The foster has other dogs and cats – She gets along great with both! The cats are all bigger than her and swat her away when she tries to play. Precious has met the fosters grandchildren and LOVES them. She would do wonderful with children! Note: She is only a puppy and very small, so children under 4 years of age need to be supervised when around her. She loves to be held and loves her pets! Precious is an amazing little girl. She is entertaining, playful, cuddly, loving and will keep a smile on your face. Precious is current on age-appropriate vaccinations, current on flea/tick and heart worm prevention, microchipped, current on dewormer, and will receive a clean bill of health from a licensed veterinarian prior to transport. To apply to adopt you can go to our website at: www.pawsitive-Impact-animal-rescue.org This animal is currently located in Texas, but we do NOT adopt animals out in Texas due to the hundreds of animals being euthanized here daily. We ONLY do adopt in Central US and the East Coast. The adoption fee listed ($795) INCLUDES transport from Texas to the location where this animal is posted in. Transport goes to the following locations every 2-3 weeks: (Certain areas vary depending on adopters in the area): Albany, NY – Only one transport company goes here, once a month Wells, VT and Brattleboro, VT Nashua, NH – Only one transport company goes here, times vary Willington, CT - Stamford, CT - Dayville, CT Steubenville, OH – Cincinnati, OH – Grove City, OH Grove City, PA and Washington, PA – THESE STOPS ARE PENDING Ridgefield, NJ and Mt Laurel, NJ Emmitsburg, MD and Elkton, MD Falls Church, VA and Glenn Allen, VA We have happily adopted hundreds of animals this way (long distance), and we do our best to make sure the animal you are applying for is best fit for your home. With an approved application, we do put you in touch with the Texas foster who has the doggy for you to make sure the pup is the perfect fit.
