Bella

Hello there! I’m Bella, and I’m officially accepting applications for my forever family.

APPLICATION PROCESS APPLIES FOR Bella
PLEASE COMPLETE THE BELOW APPLICATION FORM 
https://forms.gle/KnSzUKKgsemekTfz5

My Ideal Home:
• I’ll need daily exercise — walks, park or beach trips, and playtime in the backyard will keep me happy and healthy.
• Ongoing training and guidance with basic manners will help me grow into a well-behaved companion.
• I want to be part of the family indoors — not left outside without interaction.
• Secure fencing (6ft Colorbond or equivalent) is essential to keep me safe.
• I’d love plenty of toys and mental enrichment to keep my busy mind occupied.
• Most importantly, I’m looking for lots of love and attention from my family.
• When I get excited I can be a little bouncy, so best suited to a home with no young children or frail elderly people as I would hate to accidently knock them over.
• I get along well with other friendly dogs but will retaliate if they react negatively to me. If going to a home with another dog they would have to be happy with me being the boss lady. Otherwise I am just as happy on my own.
• A home without cats would be best for me, as I may find them fun to chase.


My Paw-some Perks:
• I am a ball FANATIC & can seek out a ball in any room! I would excel at fly ball or dock dogs as I have the drive!!
• I’m highly food motivated, which makes training lots of fun and helps me learn quickly.
• I appear housetrained and am used to being allowed indoors as part of the family.
• I know how to sit & lay down when asked
• Social girl
• Responsive to my name & good recall
• I absolutely love attention, cuddles, hugs, kisses and head scratches, and I’m quite partial to snoozing on the couch with my humans.
• I LOVE toys — especially my ball! Fetch and tug-of-war are some of my favourite games.
• I’m exuberant and full of beans when you want me to be and a total snuggler when you need it.
• A happy little go getter who is loads of fun

Training & Support Needs:
• I can be a little bouncy when excited or if you have something that i want, but consistent training will help me learn calmer behaviours.
• I can be scared of thunder and fireworks. I’ll need a safe, secure space to retreat to, along with comfort and reassurance from my family.
• I am possessive of my food around other dogs so must be fed separately. With patience, consistency, and positive training, this is something we can continue to work through together.
