About Belle

Belle is a beautiful Black Lab and Shepherd mix with a striking white patch on her chest that is as unique as her spirit. Her journey to us was not an easy one; she was found as a stray in Houston and ended up on the euthanasia list at a high-kill shelter in Texas. When we first saw her, she was trembling with fear in her kennel, and we knew we had to step in to help her feel safe again. Since being rescued, Belle has shown us that she has the sweetest, most gentle personality. While her past has made her a bit cautious, she is slowly learning that the world can be a kind place. She is looking for a patient forever family who understands that she might need a little extra time to settle in and feel truly at home. Belle gets along great with other dogs and would do best with a doggy companion to help bring her out of her shell. We promise you—Belle is worth every single bit of the wait.

Ideal Home

Belle would do best in a home with a patient family who understands she may need extra time to adjust. She also thrives with the company of other dogs and would do well with a canine companion.

Ongoing Health

Belle is a healthy young dog.

Training & Support

Belle is still learning to trust due to her past experiences, so patience and understanding will be key. She enjoys the company of other dogs, which can help her build confidence.
