Story
Hello there! My name is Austin, and I'm here to brighten your day! My Foster Mom calls me Bella because she thinks it suits me perfectly-just look at this beautiful face!
I'm a lively, playful pup who absolutely loves to fetch! Whether it's a ball, a bone, or any of my favorite toys, I've got some impressive catching skills that will keep you entertained. As a spirited young girl, I'm still learning about my size and strength, and I'm working on my manners (though I do think I'd make a great dinner companion-who wouldn't want to share a hamburger with me?).
I'm known for being smart, friendly, and social, and I truly enjoy being around people. I'd thrive in an active home, especially with older children who can match my energy and enthusiasm.
I'm proud to say I'm crate trained and potty trained, making me a wonderful addition to your family. I'm playful, sweet, and always eager for treats and praise. If you're looking for a loving companion to share adventures with, I'm your girl! Let's make some unforgettable memories together!
All Pet Central animals are up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, spayed or neutered, microchipped (registration included), and current on parasite prevention. Dogs over six-months of age are heartworm tested. When adopting, we will ensure that you receive copies of veterinary and microchip records.
If you are interested in this pet, please fill out the brief Adopter Survey by hitting "Apply for Adoption" on the profile.
After we review your completed survey we will contact you by phone or email within three business days. We're primarily a volunteer organization, so we appreciate your patience. Please note- Out of respect for our volunteers and staff, we are closed on Sundays and Mondays and will not be processing any applications on that day. Do get back to us right away when we call or email regarding an application so that we can quickly connect using the process below:
Select a pet and submit an online adoption survey.
A PCH adoption counselor will contact potential adopters within three business days (PCH cannot guarantee any pet's availability, but we make every effort to accommodate adopters with a reply and possible alternative suggestions). Counselor and client will then have a conversation to answer questions, discuss any medical needs for the pet and determine the suitability of a match (if necessary, we may opt to put adopters in touch with foster parents).
After a match is made, clients will be asked to sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee online through our secure payment system *Please see our modified no-risk return policy. (below)
The PCH adoption counselor will then set up a specific appointment time and location.
Adopters should bring a pet carrier and leash to pick up. Adult pets will be wearing a collar. It is important that clients arrive on time, neither early nor late.
If your adoption is scheduled at Pet Central Helps!:
Upon arrival inside the Crossroads Center complex (360 Wylie Drive), look for the black Pet Central Helps! semi-trailer, which is right outside of our facility (Suite 720).
Park in the parking lot and enter the facility. A PCH representative will greet you and show you to the adoption room. Your new pet will be handed to you. We will take a "Happy Adoption Day photo with your pet and family.
If your adoption is scheduled at PetSmart:
Park in the PetSmart Parking lot and enter the store. We will be set up just inside the store entrance. Let us know you are here to pick up your pet! A PCH representative will confirm your information and hand you your pet. We will take a "Happy Adoption Day photo with your pet and family.
PCH supports a 21-day no-fault return policy in which adopters are given the opportunity to find a better match. If we are not able to provide advice/tools to keep a pet in the home we offer these options:
Exchange for a pet that may be a better match**
Receive a refund minus a $40 processing fee**
With this approach, we can often turn mismatches into opportunities!
Thank you,
Pet Central Helps!
