About Bella, the Girl Who Never Stopped Hoping

Bella, a beautiful 1-year-old German Shepherd, was found tied to a post with a note, but her spirit was never broken. She's blossomed into a bright, affectionate, and spirited girl ready for a family to cherish her. Bella is a wonderful blend of loving sweetheart and playful puppy, walking nicely on a harness, knowing "sit" and "stay," and is completely housetrained and crate-trained. Her absolute favorite thing is a frozen peanut butter Kong, which she proudly carries to her crate. She is intelligent, eager to please, and thrives with exercise and fun training.

Ideal Home

Bella is looking for an active home with continued training, daily exercise, and someone who appreciates a smart, goofy, and affectionate Shepherd. Due to her tendency to see cats as chaseable, she will need to be in a home without them and will spend her day in a separate room with them. She may also chew when bored, so she'll do best with structure, toys, and plenty of activity.

Ongoing Health

Bella is fully vetted, spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and on heartworm prevention. She weighs about 55lbs.

Training & Support

Bella is learning not to jump, as she just gets excited! She may chew things she shouldn't when bored, so she'll do best with structure, toys, and plenty of activity. She thrives with exercise, playtime, and fun training games.

Transporation

Bella is an "out of town pet" and is not at this location. Our rescue is Houston-based, and all fosters and our Rescue Ranch are in and around Houston. Transport is arranged and will bring dogs from our ranch in Fulshear, TX to a location near you via air-conditioned/heated vans with a team of two drivers. You will be included in a group chat to track your dog and receive updates on their exact location and scheduled time of arrival. Drivers will provide updates on any delays or early arrivals, and dogs will stop for breaks. Dogs are crated during transport for safety.
