About Estrella (now Bella)

Bella, a pup with not just one but many shining stars of personality traits! Bella is a curious and playful pup who is also incredibly affectionate and loving. And, we might even say she's kind of a Diva. Though even with that she is very stubborn and strong-willed Diva. She obviously had been able to run her show the way she wanted to run it. That with her current Fosters she's learning to adhere to some human. She's the kind of dog that will be your loyal companion through thick and thin, Bella gets deeply attached - this is good and bad as she will always seek to stay with her human but when her human is gone then she needs proper kenneling to keep her safe and home. She's always ready for a game or a good ol' fashioned snuggle on the couch. Bella is also a very smart and brave girl who approaches life with dignity and independence. She's friendly and gentle, with a good sense of humor, and will keep you on your toes with her funny antics and strong will. Bella is also good with other dogs, so she'd be happy to join a pack or be your one and only shining star. Though it may be a little harder to leave her at home without other companions. She obviously was abandoned or put in a position that she feels like somebody is never going to come back for her. And we're sure it's not just being dumped at the shelter to face the demise of a deadly needle. But that there are occurrences that give her these kinds of insecurities. Bella has been living amongst various farm animals, but it is recommended that she goes to a house with no cats. Bella spends her passing days hoping to find her forever home where she can be the star of the show. Could it be with you? Bella is a beautiful soul in and out and you'll see that when you meet her!
