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. 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 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'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.
