Story
Meet Bella – the ultimate pup ready to become your new best friend! Bella is 90% potty trained, a quiet and calm companion who doesn’t bark, and she's already picking up all the basic commands. We like to call her Miss Manners because she’s always seeking permission and showing the utmost respect for her humans.
This sweet girl is a fan of stuffy and hard chew toys and loves nothing more than a cozy bed to nap in. When Bella gets the zoomies, you’ll be in awe of her joyful energy – it’s impossible not to fall for her playful spirit!
Bella is great with other dogs and is currently working on her resource guarding of food, but she’s easily redirected with a little patience. She’s also crate trained and harness trained, making her a breeze to care for. Above all, Bella is 100% love trained – she’s ready to shower you with affection and bring so much joy into your life.
If you're looking for a sweet, well-mannered, and loving companion, Bella is your girl!
This pup was rescued from a high kill shelter in Texas.

Adoption fees include vaccines up until time of adoption, microchip, spay/neuter and 1st 30 days of free pet insurance. We are not affiliated with MetLife pet insurance. (you have to sign up for the insurance or it will not go into effect). Adoption fees help cover the medical care of the animals while he or she waits for a new home, as well as food and transportation costs. These fees help to provide care for the other animals in the shelter or rescue group who may have medical bills that are much higher than any possible adoption fee. The money also acts as a donation to help support the organization as a whole, allowing the group to continue its efforts to rescue and rehome pets.
The dogs in our care are fostered in Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico. While all dogs are picked up during our scheduled times, sometimes transport dates change due to unforeseen circumstances.

Breed labels are a "best guess" by a shelter veterinarian and cannot be guaranteed.
A new study has concluded that (in layman's terms), breed assumption is NOT indicative of behavior in mixed breed dogs. Therefore, if a dog looks presumably to be a German Shepherd breed, one cannot assume the dog will have a high prey drive. From the study: "Although many physical traits were associated with breeds, behavior was much more variable among individual dogs. In general, physical trait heritability was a greater predictor of breed but was not necessarily a predictor of breed ancestry in mutts. Among behavioral traits, biddability—how well dogs respond to human direction—was the most heritable by breed but varied significantly among individual dogs. Thus, dog breed is generally a poor predictor of individual behavior and should not be used to inform decisions relating to selection of a pet dog" - https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abk0639
