Ballerina

Meet Bellarina, the Social Butterfly with a Heart Full of Love! 💕 <br/><br/>If Bellarina has one goal in life, it's to be wherever her people are. This cheerful 9 years old, 27 pound girl loves companionship and wants to be included in everything. Whether you're relaxing on the couch, working around the house, or spending time in the yard, Bellarina is happiest right by your side.<br/><br/>She adores people and greets everyone she meets like an old friend, kids included! Affection is one of her favorite things in life. If she feels she's gone too long without pets, she'll put on a hilarious show of sliding, flopping, and rolling her way over until someone gives in and rubs her belly.<br/><br/>Bellarina was originally adopted as a puppy in 2017 and returned to us this April due to a change in her adopter's situation. We were told she had spent her life as a strictly outside dog, but Bellarina seems to have missed that memo. She's settled into indoor life with ease. She's potty trained, loves couch naps, and makes herself right at home.<br/><br/>When Bellarina returned to us, she arrived in a feral cat trap with sores covering her face and swollen eyes. It was a heartbreaking sight, especially after meeting the dog inside.<br/><br/>The moment we opened that trap, Bellarina greeted us with a wagging tail and a wiggly little body. Beneath her rough appearance was a loving and social girl who simply wanted to be near people. Her face has healed beautifully, and every day she reminds us that her joyful spirit and loving heart were never broken! <br/><br/>She rides well in the car, walks nicely on a leash, and enjoys the company of smaller sized dogs. She'll even break into playful zoomies around the yard with her canine friends when the mood strikes.<br/><br/>After spending years on the outside looking in, Bellarina is ready to be someone's cherished companion. She's ready for belly rubs, couch cuddles, and a family that includes her in all of life's little moments. 🐾🐾💜
