💖🐾 Meet Belle — The Couch Princess With a Heart of Gold (and Fewer Teeth to Brush)! 🐾💖
If perfection came with a wagging tail and a love of naps, it would look a lot like Belle. This 11-year-old, 22-pound bundle of sweetness is what happens when you combine “gentle grandma energy” with a sprinkle of sass and a strong commitment to couch time.
Belle doesn’t bark (because she’s way too classy for that nonsense), gets along beautifully with dogs, and is assumed to love humans too — because, really, how could she not? Her foster mom says she’s so wonderful she’d keep her herself if the timing were right. That’s high praise from a seasoned pro!
She’s mostly housebroken but, fair warning, she’s not a fan of marathon wait times when nature calls — 10+ hours is asking a bit much for any lady her age.
Belle’s favorite hobbies include:
🛋️ Lounging on couches and cozy beds (preferably both).
🐕 Supervising household activities from a soft, elevated surface.
💋 Melting hearts with her gentle charm.
She’s recovering beautifully after having 17 teeth removed — and though her snout’s a little puffy, her spirit’s as bright as ever. She may be a senior, but she’s still got some pep in her paws and plenty of love left to give.
Belle recently went on a little field trip with a professional dog walker, and—no surprise here—she was a total sweetheart! 🩷 She handled the new environment like a pro. While she was a bit unsure at first (hey, new places can be weird!), she stayed calm and friendly around other dogs and clearly enjoyed her time exploring the trails.
Belle’s walking style? Let’s call it enthusiastically forward-focused. She likes to keep things moving but still takes time to stop for the occasional sniff—because priorities. And when her walker crouched down to give her pets, Belle immediately climbed into her lap for snuggles.
In short: she’s gentle, affectionate, and a total doll who’s happiest when she’s close to her people. 🐾💕
Adopt Belle, and you’ll never binge-watch alone again — she’s the perfect partner for lazy Sundays, quiet evenings, and a lifetime of love. ❤️

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.
