Bella

Bella (black and white) is a delightful mix of lab, pointer, and hound. She is a fun-loving, energetic dog with a playful spirit, but she also has a gentle, affectionate side and loves to cuddle. Bella is particularly fond of belly rubs and enjoys running around, though she’s equally happy to settle down for some quality time with her humans.

She’s great with people of all ages, including children, and is friendly with other dogs. While she can be a bit reactive on-leash when she spots off-leash dogs, she does wonderfully with other dogs once off-leash herself.

Bella came into our care after being rehomed by a family member in Florida, but her past before that remains unclear. Despite any challenges she may have faced, she’s a loving and well-adjusted dog.

Bella would thrive best with someone who is home more frequently, as she can be left alone for 6-8 hours, but prefers less time on her own. She enjoys having space to play, though regular long walks are also a great way to keep her happy.

With her sweet nature and loving personality, Bella would make a fantastic companion for someone looking for a loyal and affectionate dog. Everyone who meets her falls in love with her!
