Meet Bella, a vivacious adult dog with a heart full of love and a spirit full of play. Her energy is contagious, sparking joy wherever she goes. She weighs 61 pounds and is hoping to get her girlish figure back in her next home. She`ll burn those calories with agility, running, tugging, toys, walks, chase and wrestling. She`s a social butterfly, always eager to make new friends, be they dogs, cats, or children. She is friendly, playful, and a bit rough with all her friends. Bella`s curiosity and intelligence shine through in her playful antics. She`s a fast learner, always keen to explore and understand her surroundings. She knows the sit, stay, come, no, fetch, and shake commands but has not mastered leash walking nor house training yet. This is why her adopters returned her and also because they thought she needed more room than she had in an apartment. Her cuddly nature makes her a perfect companion for cozy evenings. She loves to be petted and touched at all times. She is afraid of riding in cars and baths. Despite her occasional jumpiness and a sense of adventure that might entice her to run away, Bella`s friendly demeanor makes her instantly lovable. Adopt Bella and you`ll gain a loyal, loving friend who will fill your days with laughter and your nights with warmth. (tw 2/18/2025)
