She’s watched other dogs get picked… and she’s still here.<br/><br/>She doesn’t have the fluffy coat or the “perfect” look. She’s a little goofy, a little unsure, and very shy at first — the kind of dog who stands quietly in the background hoping someone will notice her anyway.<br/><br/>But here’s what Bella does have:<br/>A soft heart.<br/>A gentle soul.<br/>And an overwhelming love for cuddling on the couch once she feels safe.<br/><br/>Bella is about 1 year old, a Pointer/Beagle mix, and she just wants someone patient — someone who understands that confidence grows with kindness. With time, love, and reassurance, Bella opens up beautifully. She’s already learning to be brave, and when she is, she surprises everyone.<br/><br/>She loves running at the beach, feeling the wind on her face, and being reminded that the world isn’t such a scary place after all. <br/><br/>Bella doesn’t need perfection.<br/>She doesn’t need a spotlight.<br/>She just needs one person to choose her — to see past the surface and love her for exactly who she is.<br/><br/>If you’re the kind of person who believes the quiet ones deserve a chance…Bella is waiting for you. 💛<br/><br/>📩 Text us to meet Bella and give her the home she’s been dreaming of. 619.919.6937 | on IG https://www.instagram.com/p/DUHFQW-kicn/

Soulshine Dog Rescue's Adoption Policy
Soulshine Dog Rescue Adoption Policy At Soulshine Dog Rescue, our mission is to ensure that every dog we save finds a loving, committed forever home where they can thrive. We take this responsibility seriously and have a thorough adoption process in place to ensure the best match for both the dog and the adopter. Our Process Includes: A completed adoption application A phone interview to discuss lifestyle, expectations, and compatibility A home check (virtual or in-person) to ensure a safe and secure environment We also offer a "Foster with Intent to Adopt" option for those who would like to ensure a perfect fit before finalizing their adoption. This gives both the dog and the family time to adjust and bond in a supported way. Our Promise: If for any reason an adopter can no longer care for their dog—whether it’s months or years later—we require that the dog be returned to Soulshine. No judgment, no questions asked. Our commitment to every dog we rescue is lifelong, and we will always welcome them back when needed. By adopting through Soulshine, you become part of our extended rescue family—changing a life and gaining a loyal companion in return.
