ABOUT ME...
Hi, my name is Bella! I am a young, petite Great Dane mix. I was given up by my previous family, along with a small female dog, because they were struggling with personal issues. I also lived with a male dog my size. My favorite thing ever is to be petted and snuggle with you on the couch or bed. I like to play with plush toys and enjoy stuffed Kong toys. I am very gentle with all my toys; I do not like to pull the stuffing out and make a big mess. I also love to give my humans kisses and nudge at them when they think it's time to stop petting me! I am a sweet, sensitive girl who listens well if you tell me to leave something alone. My foster mom is a dog trainer, so I've had some basic training and she'll share with you how to continue with all the things I've learned!
I AM GREAT WITH...
I'm house trained, I know Sit, Down, and Watch Me. I will lay on my blanket and settle there if you reinforce me with some treats. My foster Mom said I was doing great coming when I am called, for some reason my listening ears are not working when she calls me, but I will work on getting them fixed. I take the treats out of your hand very gently, it's the polite thing to do. I'm good at playing with large, playful male dogs. I like men and women if they go slow with me and give me a chance to warm up to them, but I prefer women because I can be timid. I get excited to go for car rides and I get right in the car.
I AM STILL WORKING ON...
I'm learning to walk on a loose leash. I come to your left side if you say Here. I am working hard on being comfortable with new people and loud sounds. I have not wanted to be in a crate in my foster home, but I did sleep in one in my previous home. I love being with people sooo much, I am struggling with when they leave me. I am working to gain confidence in staying home alone. Right now, I don't have any other doggy friends, and I think a sweet, timid playful doggy companion would make me really comfortable!
I AM NOT GOOD WITH...
Small children make me nervous, especially when they scream. I don't like loud noises or too much going on. I'm not sure what I think about cats.
I REQUIRE...
--A fenced-in backyard. Not only do I love to be in the backyard and sniff wildlife trails, but I also like to lay in the grass and sunbathe.
--A home with no children under 10 and someone home most of the time.
--Daily medication to help me adjust, as needed.
**All animals in our care are spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested (age 1 & up), given preventatives, and provided with initial vaccinations AT MINIMUM. Booster shots are included in the adoption fee and will be performed at our clinic, or the adopter can use their own vet at their expense. Adopters must reside within 2 hours of Columbus, OH. No transportation assistance is available.**
