Bella is a joyful 10-month-old rescue mix with a sweet, affectionate nature and a big love for people. She is friendly, playful, and happiest when she has room to run, explore, carry sticks, enjoy treats, and watch birds outdoors. She has grown up with space to move freely and would love a home that can continue giving her plenty of outdoor time, enrichment, and companionship. Bella is looking for a pet-free home where she can be the only animal companion. She has had serious conflict with one dog in our home, including incidents that caused injuries requiring veterinary care, so a home without other pets will help her feel safe and supported. She would be a wonderful match for an active, dog-experienced family who can offer structure, positive reinforcement training, and a loving environment where she can thrive.
