About Bella, the Girl Who Never Stopped Hoping

Meet Bella, the sweet German Shepherd mix who never stopped hoping for a loving family! At just one year old, she was found tied to a post, but her spirit was unbroken. Bella has blossomed into an affectionate, spirited, and wonderfully silly girl who is eager for her forever home. She's a perfect blend of loving sweetheart and playful pup, ready to share her life with someone special.

Ideal Home

Bella is looking for an active home with someone who understands that she has so much to offer but will need a little time to adjust and settle in. She would do best in a home that can provide continued training, daily exercise, and plenty of affection from a smart, goofy, and loving Shepherd enthusiast. Due to her tendency to want to chase cats, she will need to be kept separate from them and will do best in a home without cats.

Ongoing Health

Bella is fully vetted, spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and on heartworm prevention. She is healthy, safe, and ready for her fresh start.

Training & Support

Bella is learning not to jump, though she gets excited! She is fully housetrained and crate-trained, considering her crate her personal treasure chest for treats and toys. She may chew things she shouldn't when bored, so she'll do best with structure, plenty of toys, and engaging activities. Her intelligence and eagerness to please mean she thrives with exercise, playtime, and fun training games.
