My personality

My story

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

Bella is one of our newest AATDR dogs. She came into the rescue last weekend. We waited to post her for a few days until we could introduce her to you with her new hairdo. She is an adorable little girl! 💖

Bella came to us from an independent rescuer. She'd saved Bella from a home where she was being ignored and neglected, but couldn't keep her. We met Bella and were happy to help.

Only about 1-1/2 years old, Bella is a bit timid for a few minutes when meeting new people. With gentleness and kindness, she relaxes quickly and becomes a love-bug.

Bella likes other dogs, will be fine living with cats, and would do well with children 7+ years old.
She's a little bit of a dog (she does need to gain some weight) - a shih tzu mix.

She'll be heading to our vet for an exam and all the vaccines and tests she needs, and will need to be spayed. Then she'll be ready for the super-terrific forever home she deserves. If you'd like to be her family when she's ready, please fill out an application online: https://www.allaboutthedogsrescue.org/get-involved

Go meet their pets

We're a 100% foster-based rescue. We do hold adoption events that are posted on our Facebook and Instagram pages and also on our website. In terms of meeting our dogs, the usual process is for one of our volunteers to bring them to your home to meet you. We always want to see how our dog fits into a potential new foster or forever environment.

More about this rescue

All About the Dogs Rescue is a small rescue started by a group of experienced, dedicated rescuers who realized we can do more to help together than we could individually. We may be small, but we're mighty and are dedicated to helping as many dogs as we can. We don't just take easy dogs. We have helped dogs with medical conditions that have required substantial treatment, and dogs that need training to become the best versions of themselves. We work hard to take care of all of our dogs medical and training needs prior to adoption. Our goal is to make sure they have much happier futures than they have pasts, and that they and their new family mesh into a terrific new family unit.

As a small, fairly new rescue, we're still building our team! We always need fosters and volunteers. Please apply to join with us - the more fosters and volunteers we have, the more we can do to help!

As a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, we can only do what we do for the dogs because of generous donors. If you can donate to help us help them, we'd be so grateful!
