Bella is an intelligent and affectionate dog with a heart full of love! She’s a quick learner and knows just about every trick in the book. Bella is incredibly active, and could happily spend her days playing fetch and swimming. Though she’s a sweet girl, Bella’s past of abuse and neglect has made it difficult for her to trust people and other dogs. She will need a patient and experienced owner who can provide her with the guidance she needs, especially when meeting new people. Slow introductions will be key, and Bella should not interact with other dogs. Thankfully, she’s learned many ways…
If Bella isn't quite the right fit, these dogs are close matches.
