Meet Bella
Bella is 30 pounds of strong opinions, soft cuddles, and a love for chewing things that are definitely meant to be chewed. She’s four years old, fully potty-trained, crate-approved (with the occasional grumble), and prefers her social circle to be curated—think less frat party, more intimate wine night with the right crew.
She lives for stormy night snuggles, offers unsolicited moral support during dog disagreements (she’s basically management), and prefers hanging out with calm, mature pups who understand the concept of “personal space.” High-energy chaos? Hard pass. Oversharers? Not her scene. But give her structure, consistency, and a good bone? She’s golden.
Bella isn’t trying to be everyone's best friend—just yours. She warms up with time, thrives with a confident handler, and shines in a calm, predictable home. She’d happily trade small talk for sunbathing, and she takes her title of “house security consultant” very seriously (open doors beware, she’s been known to test your reflexes).
After some rough beginnings, she’s finally filled out, healthy, and happy—and yes, she’ll absolutely try to wedge herself into the crook of your arm when she’s feeling cozy. If you’re looking for a low-key ride-or-die with just enough sass to keep things interesting, Bella’s ready to run the household—and your heart—with grace and chew toys.
