About Bella

Meet Bella!

Bella is a spirited ten-month-old Labrador Retriever mix whose essence is a vibrant burst of joy wrapped in a striking white coat with black patches. She's a medium-sized girl at around 55 pounds and greets life with enthusiasm, curiosity, and a heart full of affection! She is the kind of companion who happily makes friends with new people, enjoys being close to her family, and brings warmth wherever she goes. Raised in a rural setting with plenty of room to roam, Bella loves outdoor adventures. Whether she is sprinting across open spaces, investigating every interesting scent, chasing birds, carrying sticks like prized treasures, or settling down with a favorite chew toy and a tasty treat, she embraces each day with excitement! Her playful spirit is balanced by a sweet demeanor that makes her a wonderful companion for those who enjoy an active lifestyle. Bella knows how to sit, comes when called, is crate-trained, house-trained, and is comfortable spending time on her own, doing well when left alone for up to four hours. She follows a comfortable routine that includes twice-daily meals, daytime naps, and an early bedtime. Daily dental chews are also part of her care routine. Bella is confident around strangers, enjoys attention, and thrives on companionship. She has done well with calm, respectful older children and would be delighted to share adventures, walks, and relaxing evenings with her favorite humans. Bella's family is devoted to finding a loving new home where she can enjoy structure, activity, and connection with people who appreciate her affectionate nature. Could Bella be the cheerful adventure partner you have been searching for?

Ideal Home

Bella needs a pet-free home where her interactions can be carefully managed. A securely fenced yard, rural setting, or access to plenty of outdoor exercise would allow her to continue enjoying the active lifestyle she loves. She would be delighted to share adventures, walks, and relaxing evenings with her favorite humans and would do well with calm, respectful older children.

Ongoing Health

Bella is microchipped, spayed, and up to date on her vaccinations.

Training & Support

Bella knows how to sit and comes when called. She is crate-trained and house-trained. Bella has a history of serious conflicts with a canine housemate, including incidents that resulted in bite injuries requiring veterinary care, so adopters committed to ongoing positive reinforcement training and behavior support are essential.
