About Bella

Bella is an adorable 2-year-old shepherd mix, weighing in at a perfect 55 pounds. She was found as a stray with her 5 puppies, and has since been spayed. Bella was just hours away from euthanasia at her prior shelter simply due to lack of space, but thanks to the efforts of caring advocates, she was given a second chance. Bella is thriving and ready to share her love with a deserving family. Bella is a medium energy dog, meaning that she's happy to romp around and play or spend the day snuggled up. She gets along wonderfully with dogs of all ages and sizes, and she absolutely adores people. We actually think that she would make a great emotional support/therapy animal because of how sweet her demeanor is (and her beautiful fluffy coat helps)! She has been struggling with some separation anxiety at night when she's away from her people because she just loves them so much - our trainers have been working diligently on this with her, and we would love for her foster or adoptive family to continue helping her remain calm. She has been co-existing with a cat and another large dog in her foster home, and has been doing great. Continued temperament testing with cats, small dogs, and small children is recommended due to lack of exposure. We know that she gets along beautifully with all adult humans and larger dogs. If you're looking for a loving, well-rounded dog to join your family, Bella might be the perfect match. She's ready to bring joy, companionship, and lots of tail wags to her new forever home.
