More About Me: Hello I am Bella. I am a very sweet and loving girl. I love my foster family. My favorite game is fetch, I could play this all day long if you would let me. I love going for walks and learning. I am very smart and have wonderful energy to keep up with all the activities. I enjoy playing with other dogs and have spent much time in my prior home at doggy daycare and loved playing with both small and large dogs. I would do wonderful at the dog park (but I do need to work on my ‘come’ command as I still like the chase game with this). I know all my basic commands and do well following them, except as noted before with off leash ‘come’. I thoroughly enjoy having playmates to play with and humans to play fetch with. I also do well in my crate when my foster is gone (if left in a yard when no one is home I will bark). I am a young girl with energy to share and I would love to have an active family to share activities with, agility and jogging would be wonderful too. I am a little nervous with strangers, more so with men than women, but I warm up quickly and with more outings this should subside also. Please consider adding me to your family, I would love a family of my own. Check out my video: http://youtu.be/BAxzMjrCNEs
FOSTER UPDATE Welcome new arrival Bella to rescue. Bella is a sweet and loving girl. She loves to play with other dogs of all sizes. She is gentle and kind with small dogs and plays well with larger dogs. She enjoys fetch and also enjoys tug of war. She is loving with her family and enjoys their company. She is a GREAT little girl. She knows all her basic commands and follows them very well, but she does need to work a bit more on her off leash recall. She can be a bit nervous of strangers/men, but with a few treats she warms up very easily and quickly. With some more socialization and a confident dog owner she should get past this reservation. Bella is quite an amazing dog and would love to find a home of her very own with a fenced yard and she would love to have a young playmate for company. She would also do best with an active owner that would go on long walks/jogs, play fetch, and keep her brain entertained.
History: Bella's owner is no longer able to keep her due to her ailing health. NWIPR was asked to bring Bella into rescue and find her a great home. We are so glad to have her join us in rescue.
NWIPR IS AN ALL VOLUNTEER REGISTERED NON-PROFIT 501c3 PUBLIC CHARITY
Your adoption donation is used to care for and vet the many dogs that enter into rescue from overcrowded shelters where their time is running out-ultimately they are on death row. Your adoption donation goes directly to the care of the many dogs that enter into rescue. All dogs leave rescue vaccinated, sterilized, microchipped, wormed, flea treated, and medically checked out. In some cases they receive dentals, ear flush, surgeries, and so on to ensure that they are healthy and ready to be adopted. Your adoption donation is very much appreciated and needed to help care for the many needy dogs that enter into rescue. New adopters receive a FREE exam coupon at a local veterinary clinic in Lynnwood OR a $30 care voucher to a veterinary chain (so be sure to ask about these coupons if you are interested). NOTE: Please do not email for more dog info. This is all the info available until approved application is received and then you can talk directly to that dog's foster home for further info. Thank you!
NWIPR's adoption process includes completion of an adoption application, a vet check, screening, in person meeting, a home visit and a lifetime adoption contract. NWIPR is the pet's advocate and will select the most suitably matched home for the dog's general and unique needs, therefore adoptions are not done on a first come first serve basis. We reserve the right to refuse service and adoption for any reason.
PLEASE NOTE: The information contained within this pet's biography is based on observations from the current foster home. NWIPR is very honest about the pet's behavior and needs (and provides up to date information), we cannot guarantee they will behave in the same manner in a different environment with new owners as individual household dynamics vary greatly.
CONSIDER FOSTERING A DOG
***Do you or someone you know have the desire to help a rescue dog? If you have a loving heart, dog experience, a safe and secure yard and the notion to make a difference, please consider fostering a rescue dog. There are MANY dogs that we just do not have room for and just one person can make a world of difference to a dog that needs a safe place to rest his or her weary paws.....***
