Bella is in Maine COURTESY CROSS POST's Story

COURTESY CROSS POST Bella is a 10 month old female puppy who has the most dazzling blue eyes and soft fur. She currently lives in a foster home with a dog, cat and young adult kids. Her foster mom says she is a sensitive girl and a quick learner with so much to offer. Bella had a tough start to life and will need her adopters to be patient and allow ample time for her to decompress. She is cautious when first meeting people and dogs and can quickly become anxious. Bella is still learning that humans mean good things and once she trusts you, she will be your loyal and constant sidekick. She is a true Velcro dog and likes being with her family. Bella will require a home with a fenced in yard for her to safely explore and get her zoomies on. It would be preferred that she go to a home with another confident dog to show her the ropes, but that could depend on the specific situation. She is house and crate trained and likes to nap in her crate during day. She is a quiet passenger on car rides and loves her daily walks. She also loves her outdoor playtime retrieving toys and playing with other dogs. She is so silly and fun to watch playing by herself with her toys, throwing them up in the air and stomping on them. So if you want a smart, sweet, silly puppy who tries to please, Bella is your pup !
