Belle's Story

Although Belle can get along with other dogs, she tends to be dominant and does not do well with confrontation. She has a strong personality but is very food driven as well. Slow introductions to new submissive dog friends are recommended. Belle was a victim of an unimaginable type of abuse before she was even a year old. She was tied to a bumper of a truck and was dragged for an unspecified period of time. With multiple surgeries she has healed physically with the possibility of some arthritis in her golden years.<br/><br/>Belle is playful, loves her tug rope and other toys, sun bathing, smart, curious and will have you entertained with her 'pitbull' antics. She is a great dog that just requires the right environment to thrive.
