Bella's Story

(2 years old, 75lbs)<br/><br/>Personality: energetic, affectionate, gentle, adaptable, smart, and loyal.<br/><br/>Don't blink or you might miss beautiful, bounding Bella! This energetic pup can be found zooming alongside her fosters or sprinting after a toy in the backyard almost any day of the week. Bella is also an awesome walking and running partner.<br/><br/>As lively as she is, Bella is a big softy when it comes to kids. The teens and younger child in her foster family have enjoyed brushing and cuddling with Bella. <br/><br/>Bella wants to be where the people are, and she's not afraid to show it, even with strangers. (She'll happily jump right up to new friends and ask for pets.) She does understand when you can't play or engage and will instead sleep soundly by your side. <br/><br/>Not all brawn, Bella has brains, too! "Sit," "hands," "house," "wait," and "stay" are all in her vocabulary. Bella has made lots of progress with house training when people are at home with her, but she needs to build up her confidence when it comes time to be home alone. For now she would do best with an adopter who works from home.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a big girl who wants to play with you, apply today to meet Bella!<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<br/>City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue is a foster-based rescue in Washington, DC. We do not have a shelter. CDCK has a thorough adoption process to find the best possible fit for each of our dogs and cats.

If the animal has "HAS APPLICATION" listed, we are still accepting additional applications, as they sometimes fall through. If the animal is adopted by someone else, your application will be kept on file and you will not need to reapply for a different dog.

City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue's Adoption Policy
All of our dogs and cats are in private foster homes. If you are interested in meeting one, please complete our application. Profiles provide all current information we know about the dogs and cats in our care. OUR ADOPTION PROCESS APPLICATION: Interested adopters should fill out an application for the cat(s) or dog(s) you are interested in. Only one application is required, and it applies for all cats or dogs listed on your application. If you are interested in adopting both a cat and a dog, you must complete an application for each type of animal. Important Note Regarding Timing: We screen all applications to find what we believe will be the best environment for each particular cat or dog. If we believe that we currently have a potential match for you, our typical response time is within a week. Please keep an eye on your spam folder! APPLICATIONS COUNSELOR: Applicants who pass the initial screening will be assigned a volunteer applications counselor to work with you throughout the process. REFERENCE CHECKS: If applicable, CDCK will call the applicant’s veterinarian to ensure that previous pets have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and well cared for. CDCK will also call personal references listed on the application. RENTERS/CONDO OWNERS: For renters, CDCK will check with an applicant's landlord to ensure that cats and/or dogs are permitted and that the cat or dog of interest wouldn’t violate any size or breed restrictions. We also review condo association rules regarding pets. ADOPTION CONTRACT: If the applicant is approved for adoption and decides to adopt the cat or dog, CDCK and the prospective adopter will enter into an adoption contract. The applicant will be required to pay an adoption fee, which helps cover our costs from spay/neutering (if age appropriate), microchipping, vaccinations, and any other veterinary attention needed while in our care.
