Bella Shepherd Bradford, ON

Black-Coated Sunshine

You ever meet a dog who just radiates good vibes? That’s Bella. Born February 2024, this shepherd mix gal walks through life like she knows she’s the main character—because, honestly, she kind of is.

Bella’s the type who wakes up smiling, does a couple of joyful laps around the yard, and then plops down in the grass like, “Yep, crushed it again.” She’s confident, social, and friendly with everyone she meets—human, canine, or otherwise. If dogs were people, she’d be that one friend who somehow gets invited to every barbecue and never brings drama, just good energy and snacks.

She’s got a playful streak that’ll make you laugh daily, but she’s not chaos on legs—more like balanced fun with a side of zoomies. She’d thrive in a home with another dog pal or a yard to stretch those legs, though she’s chill enough to adapt just about anywhere her people are kind and patient.

Bella’s learning the ropes when it comes to leash walking and potty training—she’s still new to the whole “civilized society” thing—but she’s eager to please and quick to catch on. Think of her as your sweet, silly intern who just needs a little guidance before she’s running the place.

Bella’s ideal home has a yard, some toys, and humans who don’t mind a little extra sunshine trotting in their living room. If you’re the kind of person who laughs through the chaos and lives for a dog that loves life out loud, Bella’s your girl.

The Truth About Rescue:

Every rescue pup is a work in progress — and that’s the beauty of it. None of them come wrapped in a bow, ready-made or mistake-free. They come with stories, quirks, and hearts that have seen a lot but still choose to trust again.

Adoption isn’t about perfection; it’s about presence. Showing up for them, every day, until they know they’re finally home. That’s when you’ll see them bloom — soft and steady — into the very best version of themselves. And somewhere along the way, you’ll realize they were never the only one being rescued.

Once we have received your application, we will review and reach out to set-up an interview with one of our volunteers! If you have additional questions, please email us at SaintMuttsInquiries@gmail.com.

Note: As with all of our rescues, we recommend homes with children 10 years and over to ensure the best fit for both the pets and families involved.
