Bella

Meet Bella, a vibrant and playful almost three-year-old Terrier mix from sunny Huntington Beach, CA, whose snow-white coat matches her effervescent personality! Bella is a bundle of energy and charm who thrives on fun, connection, and activity. Her boundless zest for life makes her an irresistible addition to any family looking for a spirited companion.

Bella is a social butterfly who delights in meeting new dogs and people. Her favorite pastime? Chasing and being chased—her quick reflexes and enthusiasm make her the queen of tag! At the dog park or beach, she’s the life of the party, wrestling playfully with her furry friends. Yet, after a day filled with adventures, Bella’s softer side shines as she curls up next to you in bed, offering warmth and companionship.

This medium-sized lady weighs in at a healthy 35 pounds and has been house-trained, vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped—she’s all ready to start her new chapter! Bella’s training is another feather in her cap; she knows commands like “sit” and “down” and is eager to learn more with positive reinforcement.

Bella’s high-energy personality makes her a perfect match for an active family, especially one with kids or another dog to share her zest for life. A home with a fenced yard is ideal, giving her space to zoom around and play to her heart’s content. While Bella hasn’t been around cats enough to gauge her feelings, she’s proven to be calm and confident when left alone for short periods, making her adaptable to different routines.

Her endearing habit of snuggling close at night makes her not just a pet but a loyal companion. She thrives on routine, enjoying two meals a day alongside three walks or a mix of walks and playtime at the dog park or beach.

Are you ready for a new family member who will bring laughter, love, and lively energy to your home? Reach out today to learn more about this lovable sweetheart!
