Meet Isabella<br/><br/>Isabella (but you can call me Bella) | 2 y/o | 50 lbs | Looking for my forever +1<br/><br/>Hi, I’m Bella — a sweet, soulful Black Mouth Cur mix with big eyes, a bigger heart, and a strong cuddle game. <br/><br/>My story started out sad, I was pulled from a Texas shelter about a year ago after having a litter of puppies. A rescue took my puppies but left me behind and I was on the euthanasia list for length of stay after raising my puppies, Safe Haven jumped in and saved me! I am about 2 years old, spayed, and currently crashing with a lovely foster family while I search for my happily-ever-after! <br/><br/>Likes:<br/>• Long walks in the neighborhood<br/>• Cozy nap sessions<br/>• Quiet nights in with my humans<br/>• Kids! I live with two awesome girls (ages 8 and 12) and they’re my favorite playmates. I’ve also lived with younger children and did fantastic!<br/>• Treats, chew toys, and gentle encouragement<br/><br/><br/>Dislikes:<br/>• Sudden introductions — I can be shy, especially around men. I warm up with time, patience, and trust (ladies and kids, I’m all in from day one).<br/>• Being rushed — I’m not into speed dating. Let’s take it slow and build something real. (I need slow intros with other dogs but am sharing my foster home with a smaller male dog).<br/><br/>About Me:<br/>I’m house-trained, crate-trained, and polite when left alone (no wild parties while you’re at work — I promise). I get along well with my small dog foster brother, though I’m still figuring out playtime etiquette. I might be a little bigger than I realize… oops.<br/><br/>I’m looking for a calm, loving home where I can continue growing in confidence. Bonus points if you have a fenced yard, a warm couch, or a kid or two who loves to snuggle.<br/><br/>Looking For:<br/>A patient, kind human (or family) who sees beyond my shy side and is ready for a loyal companion to love forever.
