Meet Bella,

She is 8kg of pure love, she is a camp dog so we have no idea what breed she is, likley a mix of many different breeds, but she has a very unique look.

Bella is a cautious gal, she is a little anxious after ending up in Mount Isa pound and then making the journey here.

Bella absolutely loves her foster humans, she sticks to them very close, usually on a lap. She is really the perfect lap dog and would make an incredible companion dog.

Bella has a weird relationship with other dogs. She has been living with some foster siblings who she generally gets along with, but she tends to resource guard her humans. When she meets big dogs at the park she tends to bark at them and then run away. It seems like she wants to make friends but doesn't know how. Smaller dogs don't intimidate her as much, but if they are to boisterous she gets barkey. She doesn't seem to have had a lot of good dog interactions in her life, but she is slowly gaining confidence.

Being committed to socialisation will be a big requirement for Bella, if she is isolated from dogs at this stage she could become very antisocial and afraid of dogs. She is still young so helping her gain confidence and experience is essential.

She is also super fast! She can run like the wind and jump over things while doing so. She would absolutely thrive doing some sort of dog sport.

Bella is the happiest laying on her humans lap, soaking up the love. She is still a puppy, but has grown up fast. She needs lots of love to gain confidence and live her life happy.

Bella is $400 to adopt and comes desexed, microchipped, C5 vaccinated, HW tested (negative), and given flea/tick/worm prevention.
