About Bella
Meet Bella, a sweet, calm and very social Dalmatian cross, who gets along with everyone - adults, children, dogs and cats.
Born on 29 April 2024 and currently weighing about 33 kgs, she's a solid, strong girl with a gentle heart, placid temperament and loving nature.
She thrives on human company and is always eager for pats, cuddles, and praise. Rewarding her with treats for good behaviour and an occasional chew bone will win you brownie points.
Still a puppy at heart, Bella loves her soft toys and she'll often entertain herself in the backyard with a collection of her favourites. Sometimes, she'll run around like a mad thing with a toy in her mouth. Other times, she will examine the texture and components of the toy and "redecorate" the backyard.
Bella loves riding in the car with the wind in her face. She's not keen on being left alone for extended periods, so travels pretty much everywhere with her foster mum. A regular destination is the local dogpark where she enjoys running, playing, sniffing and socialising.
Bella is keen to please, loves praise and will never say no to a treat, so she's an enthusiastic student. She was well behaved at a recent trip to the grooming salon, but her leash manners need more work. She is house-trained and will lie down on command. Her recall is good.
This lovely girl is an absolute gem and will thrive in a dog-loving home with experience to manage her size, strength and ongoing training needs. Bella will undoubtedly be a rewarding and devoted companion for a family, couple or singleton. Could you be the perfect match for this lovely, spotted sweetheart?
