My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

~~THIS IS A COURTESY POST. THIS DOG IS **NOT** IN THE CARE OF THE ALTERNATIVE HUMANE SOCIETY. PLEASE REACH OUT TO THE OWNER DIRECTLY AT THANK YOU!!~~

Bella Bella: The dog so nice, I named her twice. She is spayed and weighs 43 pounds.

Bella loves meeting people and dogs. She will sit and put her head on your thigh and blink her eyelashes.

Bella dog will walk, play frisbee golf (on leash), hike beaches, forest trails & run (off leash parks help) 30 to 45 minute walks daily. She will chase squirrels, birds, bunnies, critters that run.

Bella is very food motivated; loves treats like salmon and stinky fish heads at the beach.

She has a small yard and comfortably sleeps on a covered porch at night & hangs out with neighbors adult cat

Bella does not like Shots at the Vet (needs Drowzy Rx) She has a fear of shots & does not like handling at the back of the neck or where her chip is located (Treat Motivated)

She will bite out of fear and irritation when putting the harness on; combination harness leash works for her.

Bella would do best in a home with dog savy older children and adults. She knows sit,shake paw,No, Drop it, puppy push up, Stay, Ball chasing.

Bella is a very Smart dog who will speak, converse and sing to trumpets on TV

She is a very happy pleasant lovely girl 3 to 4 weeks who gets moody puppy PMS when Tired. Bella will let you know when she wants alone time by curling her lip and hey, don’t we all want alone time, sometime?

I would love to chat with you about her so drop me an email if you are wanting to meet this sweet girl.
