Story
Hello! I'm Bella, a sweet 3-year-old Shepherd mix with a heart full of love. I'm searching for a forever home where I can have another furry friend to keep me company, so I never feel lonely again.
My story is a difficult one. When my family decided to retire and live on a boat, my brother Marley and I no longer fit into their plans. Our owner announced that if no one took us by the time he reached his property, he would shoot us. With a gun in his possession, he was on his way to carry out this unimaginable act when, thankfully, our kind-hearted marina manager couldn't let that happen and called a loving couple who stepped in to save us. It's hard to believe that someone we trusted could consider such a fate for us.
Marley and I were inseparable, and for a while, I couldn’t imagine life without him. But one day, his perfect family came along, and he found his forever home. I miss him dearly, but I know he’s happy. Now, it’s my turn to find a family who will love me just as much as he was loved.
I've been spayed, I'm up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and housebroken, though I'm not crate trained. I get along well with other dogs and am very people-focused, though I'm not sure how I am around kids. I love going for walks and am very calm on the leash, even with distractions. I never pull at all.
I'm a quick learner but need help with impulse control, as I can be a little squirrel-obsessed. I've been known to chase chickens, though I've never hurt one. Proper introduction to cats will be necessary.
I'm sweet, playful, and eager to please my people. If you want a running partner, a dog to do agility, flyball, or other athletic activities, I'm your girl. I love having a job and light up when the trainer is working with me. At the end of the day, I turn into a couch potato who thinks she's a tiny lap dog.
Despite everything, my spirit remains unbroken. If you're ready to give me the loving home I deserve, I'll be waiting with a wagging tail and an open heart. 🐾❤️
