Bella's Story

Bella is an almost 9-year-old Yellow Lab weighing around 61 pounds, but don’t let her age fool you—this sweet girl still has plenty of pep in her step! <br/><br/>Bella is a loving girl who enjoys being close to her people and will happily lean right into you when she’s getting pets. She can be a little anxious, especially while adjusting to everything around her, so she’ll need a family willing to give her some patience, reassurance, and time to feel comfortable.<br/><br/>From what we’ve observed, Bella may enjoy having another dog around and would likely do well in a home with children. Of course, we’re still getting to know her and learning more about what makes her happiest.<br/><br/>Sadly, Bella arrived at the shelter already microchipped, but despite our efforts, we were unable to locate her owner. <br/><br/>Bella may be a little older, but she still has plenty of love to give. She’s ready for a family who will appreciate her sweet nature and give her the comfort and security she deserves. <br/><br/>Because most of our dogs arrive as strays, we cannot guarantee that any dog is housetrained.
