Story
Bella is a real life princess. She walks with elegance and grace, she is gentle and sweet, and she even avoids getting dirt on her paws. She loves to run and play, but is also perfectly happy lounging at home all day. She is happy to be indoors and outdoors and she can do many cool tricks. We had Bella since she was just a puppy. She easily melts the hearts of all who see her. Bella is very motivated by food and pretty much craves it 24/7. She is also very curious and loves to be around her people. She is a quiet dog but can bark on command or when the doorbell rings. She can tug on the leash during a walk because she gets excited to explore the world. She is social but needs time to warm up to kids. She does have some environmental skin allergies that can be easily fixed by taking a monthly shot or apoqual pills.Some types of grass or weed can irritate her skin. Our family is moving and sweet Bella needs a loving owner to care for her. She loves to be petted nd she will be your bestie
