Playful and confident Bella is a 25-pound, 3-year-old French Bulldog mix with a big personality. She is a cuddly, energetic companion who loves being by your side, playing, and going on adventures.

Bella can be headstrong and stubborn, but she is affectionate, food-motivated, and eager to learn. She enjoys short walks, sniffing, enrichment activities, cuddles, and naps. She is crate and pen trained, comfortable being home alone, and sleeps peacefully on her dog bed at night.

Ideal Home

Bella would do best as the only pet in a home with older children who can help with training. She has not lived with dogs, cats, or children and needs patient adopters who understand proper introductions and can gently redirect her mouthy play. Continued positive training is important, especially since she may nip at fingertips while playing.

She prefers to potty outside and reliably uses pee pads when available. She enjoys fluffy toys but destroys them, so harder rubber toys are a better choice.

Ongoing Health

Bella has allergies managed with a monthly Cytopoint injection and a prescription diet. Her corkscrew-shaped tail was amputated because it was causing her pain, and she recovered well. She also has Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS) and may need corrective surgery in the future.

She should be kept out of the heat, given frequent exercise breaks and constant access to water, and walked with a harness rather than a collar.

Training & Support

Bella is crate and pen trained, house trained with access to pee pads, and comfortable staying home alone. She is medium energy, with bursts of activity followed by naps. She is improving with car rides and is ready for a family committed to positive training and breed-appropriate care.
