Boxer, Boston Terrier [Mix]

This is Bella~ She is a gorgeous spunky Boxer/Boston Terrier mix. She is about 2 years old, and will be adoptable VERY VERY soon! She is up to date on shots, but is not spayed yet, as she needs to get a little more weight on. She is at 30 pounds, but needs to add on about 5 more to her girlish figure. She is so sweet, it's just silly. She gets along great with other dogs, and pays no mind to any of the cats. I believe she was an "out door" dog, because she was surprised and confused in the house. There have been no potty accidents so far to date. The doc thinks she, being 2 years old, will fill out a little more, but won't get past 35-40 pounds. She needs another 5 to fill out her curves, but anymore, probably wouldn't help her fit into a size 8 dress! Please contact us for more details! She LOVES rolling around in the grass, and we call it her Bella DANCE! One issue, is that she can be food aggressive, due to her mistreatment. So she would need help to overcome that fear.

IMPORTANT PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

A volunteer will review your application and contact you ONLY if you are approved or if further clarification is required. We will make every attempt to contact approved applicants within 5 business days of application submission (M-F), but this will depend on the number of applications received.

Please understand that by answering the questions does not guarantee the adoption of the pet, nor are you obligated to adopt the pet.

We adopt to homes that are best fits for our animals' needs, and not on a first-come, first-served basis. If you currently own a dog or have a history of dog ownership, you must provide a vet reference for your application to be processed.

We are an all-volunteer organization, and regret that we do not have the resources to contact applicants that are not approved. Please do not contact us to check on the status of your application - it just slows down our ability to process applications.

Thank-you for your interest in a rescued animal.
