** Bella is fostered here in Pensacola, FL**

Bella is an 8-year old, 45 lb. Lab mix whose human mom passed away. Bella lived with a doggie sister who has been adopted, and Bella is now looking for a family of her very own.

Bella's foster in New England tells us: "Bella is truly one of the happiest dogs you will meet and it doesn't take long for her to become your loving girl. She looks straight into your eyes and is grateful to be with you. If you would like a hiking buddy who can match you step for step, Bella is your girl. If you want a snuggle bunny, she's that too. Bella loves to cuddle and gives endless kisses to show how much she appreciates the people she loves. She is adventurous, loves to sniff out critters in the yard and play fetch with a ball, and she loves riding in the car. She will be your best buddy and she is very smart. Her tail rarely stops wagging and that says it all." Check her out in this fun video!

Bella has wonderful house manners, eating and sleeping well, and is fully house trained. She can be left home alone with no problems. Bella gets along well with everyone she meets, including kids. She has been working on her leash skills and, with the help of a harness and treats, she keeps improving.

Bella, like many dogs, is selective about the dogs she meets. She has had professional training help with her dog interactions and to help her become her best self. That said, she truly deserves to be someone's only dog, living in a home with a fenced yard. With her happy spirit that shines through her big, bright eyes, you can see how much she wants to belong. If you have space in your heart and home for Bella, ask about her.

Bella had been spayed and was given heartworm preventative, so she is heartworm negative (hooray!). She is up to date on her vaccinations and micro-chipped. Bella is a wonderful companion dog who will enrich the life of anyone who gives her a loving home!
