BELLA-see video American Staffordshire Terrier Mix Marietta, GA

This stunning girl is Bella! She was surrendered to the shelter on 2/22, and they left us very little info besides her name so we don't know much about sweet Bella. What we do know is that she is terrified in the shelter; it is loud and overwhelming and very scary for her. It took a while for a volunteer to coax Bella out of her kennel, but once outside for a walk she relaxed a bit. She did enjoy just sitting and soaking up the sunshine. She is very shy and will flinch at first when pet, but she does warm up. Bella needs a kind and patient hero to adopt her and give her time to learn to trust again. You can tell she wants to so badly, but it seems she has been let down by humans in the past. Bella is quiet and calm; she has a gentle and loving soul. If you have a soft spot for the shy kids, you must meet Bella. She will be an amazing best friend if given the chance.

Bella is 1.5 years old, and she weighs 62 lbs. She is UTD on vaccines, spayed, and tested negative for heartworms; she will be microchipped upon adoption. Please come meet this lovely girl in run 883; her ID # is 653844.

You can bring your pet to the shelter for a meet & greet with your potential new best friend. When calling the shelter about a cat or dog, please use THE ID NUMBER, names are oftentimes made up by volunteers.
