Adoption Fee: $1 I am priceless

Fence needed? No. While Bella enjoys her current fenced in yard, it is not a necessity for her happiness.  She would be just as happy with leash walks as long as her guardian walks with her.

What kind of home would be best for me? Say hello to Bella, a curious, adventurous, and friendly little lady who’s ready to find her forever home. Bella is adaptable and would be happy in either an apartment or house. She’s not picky about her adopter—whether you’re a single person, a couple, or a family, Bella just wants to be loved and have someone by her side most of the time. If adopted into a family, she would do best with older children who can respect her space and avoid sudden movements or loud noises. Bella is an affectionate and inquisitive dog who gets along well with other dogs and is fine with cats, as long as they’re accepting of her.

Bella would make a wonderful addition to any home. If you have the time and love to give, she’ll be your loyal companion, brightening your life with her sweet nature. Bella is patiently waiting to meet her perfect adopter.

What is my personality like? Bella was surrendered by her owners to a South Carolina shelter. At 8 years young, her family felt she was "getting too old" and required more trips to the bathroom than they were prepared to provide. It turns out, Bella has a medical issue. She is incontinent, controlled with a daily medicine called incurin. 

While Bella does enjoy her walks, she can pull on the leash when something catches her attention. She doesn’t know all her basic commands yet, but at 8 years old, she’s still more than capable of learning new things. Spending time teaching her will not only help her grow but will also strengthen the bond you share.

At her small size, Bella is the perfect companion to take along on your outings. Whether you're heading to the drugstore, an outdoor café, or the coffee shop, she’ll be right by your side, happy to join in on the fun. And don’t forget to treat her to a pup cup at the end of your adventure—she’ll love it!

We think 8 is the perfect middle age for a beautiful poodle girl. Bella is on the lookout for a loving family or individual to share her days of exploration, relaxation, and plenty of affection.

How do I act when I first meet new people? Bella is always happy to meet new people but isn’t overly excited when first introduced. She’s calm and friendly, taking her time to get to know you.

Other tips and tidbits: Bella was born on or about 3/20/2017.

House trained? Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule if a physical reason doesn't keep them from being trained.  A dog house trained in my home may not be in yours. We will help you teach your new dog this necessary skill and based on your schedule.
