My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Bella is a sweet, shy girl who gets more comfortable and confident every day. Fully house-trained and well-behaved, she enjoys free-roaming when left alone and walks beautifully on a leash, always staying by your side without pulling. She's also crate-trained and is starting to get the hang of a few tricks!
Bella strikes the perfect balance between wanting some alone time and snuggling up with her humans. One of her favorite things is resting her head on your lap for some love and affection. Though initially a bit shy, she quickly warms up with the help of a few treats, and her gentle nature shines through. Some of her favorite activities are spending time outdoors or having a good chew bone before bedtime.
Bella would do best in a home with older kids or adults who can respect her boundaries. Ideally, she'd be the only pet, though she can do well with slow introductions to other animals. She's well-mannered outdoors and comes when called, making her the perfect mix of playful and relaxed.
If you're looking for a gentle, affectionate dog who will be both a cuddle buddy and an independent companion, Bella is the one for you. Come meet her and see how quickly she'll become your best friend!
