She is the sweetest girl and an absolute cuddle bug. We rescued her 5 years ago and estimate her age at 10yrs old. She is up to date on everything, spayed, house trained, etc. She is about 50lbs and a pitt-cattle dog mix (dog dna test). Bella is aggressive towards cats and dogs; however, after a few interactions she warms right up to dogs. She will come with everything you could need including: toys, leash, kennel, bed, etc.

Story
COURTESY LISTINGThis dog is a courtesy listing (not in the AARF program) but we will be reviewing applications and helping the owner find the right home for BELLA. Please visit http://aarf-tn.com/adopt/adoption-app/ to apply. Meet Bella, the perfect blend of energy and snuggles! At 9 years young, Bella may be considered a senior pup, but don't let that fool you – she's still got plenty of pep in her step! This pit bull/cur mix is 55 pounds of pure love and excitement. Bella's favorite pastime? Playing with tennis balls! Watch as she bounces around, picking up her beloved balls and tossing them for herself – it's a sight to behold! And when it comes to treats, her eyes light up like fireworks on the Fourth of July. Bella is just the right amount of couch potato and pro play time! While Bella may have a few quirks (like her dislike for vacuum cleaners and water), she more than makes up for it with her affectionate nature and impeccable house manners. Plus, she's a pro at sunbathing and enjoys leisurely walks and car rides. Although she's selective about her furry friends, Bella is an absolute sweetheart with people and would thrive in a home with older children or an active older couple. With her winning personality and endless love to give, Bella is ready to become the cherished companion you've been searching for!   Interested in adopting? Take the first step and complete an adoption application on our website: http://aarf-tn.com/adopt/adoption-apps/ If you have questions that are not covered in the profile, visit the Pet Inquiry Form: http://aarf-tn.com/contact/pet-inquiry-form/. THIS PET IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE! We do list and adopt our pets nationwide. Typical transport cost to the Northeast is $180. Due to interstate adoption regulations, we are not able to adopt to RI and MA state residents. A.A.R.F. (All About Rescue and Fixin' Inc.) http://aarf-tn.com/ is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) no kill animal rescue organization located in the Upper Cumberland area of Tennessee. A.A.R.F. is comprised of unpaid volunteers and survives only on public donations. Thank you for thinking adoption first! Prior to adoption, all canines and felines are spayed or neutered, have received their age appropriate vaccinations, have been de-wormed for common parasites, and have received treatment for prevention of fleas and ticks. All canines over the age of 6 months have been tested for heartworm. All canines are put on heartworm prevention as soon as possible - this means dogs as soon as they are tested negative. Puppies are put on prevention immediately. All felines, regardless of age, have been tested for Feline Leukemia/FIV. Each animal receives a health check by a licensed veterinarian prior to adoption. Anything else found will be treated by our organization prior to adoption. May 1, 2024, 1:56 pm

Story
This little darling minx is Snowflake. This dynamite butterfly is a handful of pure LOVE mixed with a can of Red Bull!!!!! She is so playful and excited about life. She is 1.5-2 yrs old, fully vetted, spayed and just waiting for that Awesome home. Snowflake is excellent with people and children, but does need to be the only dog in the home. She has been passed around and unfortunately not had a stable home, so she is searching for that perfect family that will have patience and give her a chance to show how much love she can shower on you. This little precious angel will make an excellent companion and forever friend. Please, open your heart, as she will hers, and give this exuberant, enthusiastic, ball of energy wrapped in heaps of unconditional love, a peek. She will melt your heart.

Story
My name is Roxy, and sometimes I go by Roxanne. I am an 11 year old, pure-bred, red-nose American pit bull terrier. I have recently experienced neglect and abuse, I was left in a cage and severely malnourished and dehydrated so bad I had one of the worst UTI's seen by my vet. Despite my recent struggles, my foster mom nursed me back to my feisty little self. I have so much personality and I still get my energy bursts at 11 years old, but I am otherwise a calm, good girl. I love toys and treats, and I am very vocal, but I don't bark very much! My foster mom likes to call them happy rumbles because I make a lot of noise when I get excited and happy, but I am quick to calm and quiet down. I have been with my foster mom for about 3 months now. I am UTI free and putting weight back on. I am a really good girl that would just like to finally settle down in a home of my own where I feel safe and secure. P.S. My all-time favorite way to sleep is tucked under the blankets!
