Story
Her name is Bella but we always call her boo. We got her from a breeder two years after we got our other dog Mazie who is also posted on here. We are trying to re-home them together. Bella is 8 years old. We are looking for someone who can spend more time with her and love her. She is energetic, loving, can be very protective and likes to do her own thing most of the time. She is not a fan of new animals and doesn't care for kids. She likes the dogs she is around but not usually a fan of new ones she meets.
