About Bella

Adoption Fee: $120
Australian Shepherd / Beagle
Age: Puppy
Sex: Female

Hi there. My name is Bella. I'm about 1 1/2 year old and I weigh about 30 lbs. My friends and I were surrendered to the pound after being found living deplorably in spring 2018. We were extremely unsocialized. We had never been outside prior to coming in to the pound. We had never been on leashes. We had never been exposed to humans other that our owners. I was adopted out, but unfortunately I was recently returned because I wouldn't make friends with the male humans in the house, even after months of them trying. I do well with the men and women that work here at the pound, so it's possible that they reminded me of someone from my past that wasn't very nice to me. Ideally, a female only home would be best. Needless to say, I will need a patient, understanding family with the time to socialize me. I get along well with most other dogs and I like to run and play. Due to my past environment and lack of socialization and training, I will need to either be taken outside on a leash or taken out into a secure, fenced in area so I don't get spooked and run away when let outside. I do pretty well with my potty habits as long as I am taken outside often enough. I will need some work to finish up my potty training. If you think I might be a good match for you, please consider adopting me. Our adoption fee is $120.00. The adoption fee must be paid in CASH. We are unable to accept personal checks or credit/debit cards for adoption fees. ALL dogs/puppies adopted from our shelter will receive their parvo distemper vaccine, bordetella vaccine, rabies vaccine (if aged at 12 weeks or older), be dewormed with a 3 day course of panacur dewormer, be microchipped, receive their current Ohio dog license and will be spayed or neutered. ALL DOGS/PUPPIES WILL BE SPAYED OR NEUTERED unless a health issue prohibits the surgery from being performed. Not all dogs posted for adoption are spayed/ neutered yet. If you're driving a long distance to adopt, please verify that the vetting process has been completed and dog you're interested in adopting is still available for adoption. The above mentioned vetting is all included in your adoption fee. The adoption fee and what is included in the adoption fee is NON-NEGOTIABLE. Adoptions MUST be done at the pound and in person as there is paperwork to fill out and an adoption contract that must be signed by the adopter. This means you must be willing to travel to our shelter to adopt. IF the dog you're interested in adopting has medical conditions or injuries which require medical treatment, we ask that you help with the medical bills so we can continue to help the dogs coming in who need additional vet care. We are a county run shelter, therefore we cannot control our intake or the health or behavior of the dogs that come in to our shelter. Although we try our hardest to place all of our adoptable dogs, there are certain circumstances in which any dog in our care could be euthanized at any time and without further notice (IE: sudden untreatable medical condition or injury, temperament or behavioral problems which may not be apparent when the dog first arrives, lack or space, etc.), therefore all dogs at our shelter should be considered urgent. The adoption of a more highly adoptable dog will mean more time for the less adoptable dog in the kennel next to him! Shelter hours are: Monday-Friday: 8 am- 4 pm Saturday: 8 am - 11 am. Sunday: 8 am - 11 am. Adoptions are always welcome during hours of operation. We will make special arrangements for adoptions in advance. There is nobody in the office on Saturday and Sunday, so therefore we are unable to answer or return phone calls over the weekend. Can't adopt a dog? We would love to have more volunteers who are able to spend time with our dogs! The dogs LOVE going for walks and the socialization and exercise helps make the dogs more adoptable.
