She strikes the perfect balance between high-energy playtime and quiet relaxation. One minute she's zooming around with excitement, and the next, she's contentedly chewing on her favorite toy or bone.<br/>She is a natural with kids! Currently living with children aged 9, 11, and 13, she has shown incredible gentleness and good manners, even remembering how to be soft around toddlers as young as 2 or 3.<br/><br/>🐕 Social Life<br/>Dogs: ✅ Great with other dogs! She currently lives with a 3-year-old female and gets along wonderfully.<br/>Cats: ❓ Unknown. She hasn't shown any desire to chase squirrels or small animals, but we haven't tested her with cats yet.<br/>Prey Drive: Low. No chasing behavior observed.<br/><br/>🎓 Training & Needs<br/>Belle is an easy-to-train girl who wants to please!<br/>House & Crate Trained: ✅ Yes!<br/>Leash Manners: She is learning but still pulls when excited to explore. With some practice, she will be a perfect walking partner.<br/>Resource Guarding: Because she came to us very hungry, there is a potential for resource guarding with other dogs. We manage this by feeding dogs separately in their crates. This is easily managed in a home with awareness.<br/><br/>Yard: A fenced yard is preferred, but with dedicated training, she may learn boundaries in an unfenced space.<br/><br/>💖 What's Included in Your Adoption Fee?<br/>We believe in setting every dog up for success. Our adoption fee covers comprehensive medical care and ongoing support:<br/>✅ Core Vaccines<br/>✅ Rabies Vaccine (age dependent)<br/>✅ 4DX Test (Heartworm & Tick-borne diseases)<br/>✅ Flea, Tick & Heartworm Prevention<br/>✅ Parasite Treatment<br/>✅ Dental Surgery (if recommended by our vet partners for adults/seniors)<br/>✅ 1 Session with a Positive-Reinforcement Trainer<br/>✅ Ongoing Team Support (Adoption is just the beginning!)<br/><br/>💰 Adoption Fee<br/>$850<br/>(Covers adults 1–7 years, spayed/neutered)<br/><br/>🏡 Is Belle Your Match?<br/>Belle is looking for a home that understands puppy energy and is willing to put in the work on leash training and feeding routines.
