Meet Bella, an adult dog with a heart full of love and energy. Her beauty and friendly and sweet nature will make you fall in love instantly. Bella`s curiosity will keep you on your toes, exploring the world around her with an infectious enthusiasm as she jumps at doors, turns handles, and counter surfs. . She weighs 61 pounds and is not just energetic, but also independent, confidently navigating her surroundings with a spring in her step. She walks well on a leash. Bella is a little jumpy, but that`s just her determined spirit shining through. She`s always alert, ready to play, or embark on an adventure. She loves ropes, tugging, and squeaky balls. Bella was abandoned but seems to be house trained, making her a great fit for any home. She knows the sit command and loves treats. She prefers freedom to confinement, so a home with a yard or frequent walks would be ideal but you`ll need to keep an eye on her in the yard. Adventure is always calling her name and she is quick to respond. We haven`t seen her interact with children yet but she has shown that she is a bossy lady with other dogs and plays rough. You`ll need to bring your dog to meet her to be sure they get along. . Adopt Bella and bring home a companion who is as full of life as she is. She`ll bring joy, love, and a dash of adventure to your life. (tw 3/23/2025)
