Bella will only be adopted to a home with no other dogs. She will need to be the only dog now and forever.
Bella is a very sweet dog. She enjoys chasing balls, and volunteers have even noted that she has good manners when they are walking her in and out of the doors of the shelter. She waits instead of charging through with her excitement. Bella also seems to like women better than men, loves to play and loves kids. She's a cuddler and protector. She will sit and stay on command.
Bella has been through multiple homes and is still looking for the family who is dedicated to continued training with her. She should be in a home where she is trained to kennel when left alone and unsupervised. Bella will need a strong handler who earns her respect while providing her with training to be a well-behaved dog and confident companion.
She is a beautiful girl who needs some loving stability in her life. Bella not only needs to be the only dog in the home, but she will need an experienced handler when out on walks in order to help her avoid problems with other dogs that are not leashed or restrained.
