Meet Bella | Rehome With Love Pet Adoption

Bella has been a wonderful dog for us these past 5 years... She is loyal, sweet, and loving to her people.

It is very dependent on the situation if she’s good with kids. She is great with our two kids (2yrs and 10 months). But, she gets nervous with other kids she isn't used to. This comes out as a tucked in tail, barking, and growling. It is the same with other dogs. Dogs she knows and is used to, she is fine with. When she meets a new dog, she is nervous at first until she warms up. Again, this comes out as a tucked in tail, barking and growling. We think she would do great and would love being with another dog after she gets used to him/her.

Her fear of kids is the main reason why we are looking into rehoming her. Although she is good with our own kids, she struggles when we have other kids to our house, which is frequent these days. And, she does not like to be put in a crate or away in a bedroom. She will bark and whine for as long as she is put away. One time, she hurt herself by trying to bite her way out of the crate. This becomes a big issue when we have other kids staying the night at our house, such as when our niece and nephews come to visit.

We hope to find a caring, loving home for Bella… we love her and will miss her so much if we are able to find her a new owner.
