About Belle

Meet Belle, a stunning Black Lab and Shepherd mix with a distinctive white patch on her chest. Belle's journey to us was a challenging one, as she was found as a stray in Houston and was at risk in a high-kill shelter. She was understandably fearful when we first met her, trembling in her kennel, but we knew we had to give her a chance to feel safe and loved.

Since her rescue, Belle has revealed a wonderfully gentle and sweet personality. Her past experiences have made her a bit cautious, but she's blossoming beautifully as she learns that the world can be a kind place. Belle is looking for a patient and understanding forever family who can offer her the time and space she needs to truly settle in and feel at home. She also gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would thrive with a canine companion to help her gain confidence and come out of her shell. We promise, Belle is absolutely worth the wait!

Ideal Home

A patient and loving family who understands she may need extra time to adjust and feel secure. Belle would do best with another dog in the home to help her gain confidence.

Training & Support
