Story
Hello! I'm Bella, a sweet 3-year-old Lab with a heart full of love. I'm searching for a forever home where I can stay with my brother Marley or have another furry friend to keep me company, so I never feel lonely again.
My story is a difficult one. When our family decided to retire and live on a boat, Marley and I, who had been with them since we were pups, no longer fit into their plans. Our owner announced that if no one took us by the time he reached his property, he would shoot us. With a gun in his possession, he was on his way to carry out this unimaginable act when, thankfully, our kind-hearted marina manager couldn't let that happen and called a loving couple who stepped in to save us. It's hard to believe that someone we trusted could consider such a fate for us.
I've been spayed, I'm up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and housebroken, though I'm not crate trained. I get along well with other dogs and am very people-focused, though I'm not sure how I am around kids. I love going for walks and am very calm on the leash, even with distractions. I never pull at all.
Having spent my entire life with Marley, I will need support if separated from him. I'm a quick learner but need help with impulse control, as I can be a little squirrel-obsessed. I've been known to chase chickens, though I've never hurt one. Proper introduction to cats will be necessary.
I'm sweet, playful, and eager to please my people. I'm a very special dog, and if you want a running partner, a dog to do agility, flyball, or other athletic activities, I'm your girl. I love having a job and light up when the trainer is working with me. At the end of the day, I turn into a couch potato who thinks she's a tiny lap dog.
Despite everything, my spirit remains unbroken. If you're ready to give me the loving home I deserve, I'll be waiting with a wagging tail and an open heart. 🐾❤️
My adoption fee is $325, but you can get me and Marley together for just $500!
