Bella (2) (On Trial 2/3/13)

My name is Bella. I am an 18 week old German Shepherd x with the most adorable markings. With my eyeliner eyes I’m super cute and super friendly and happy to be with you and I get along well with my foster doggy brothers.

I’m still only a little dog so I do like to jump up, though this is under control with a simple ‘no’. I’m happy when you pay attention to me so I would suit a home where I'm free to be inside. I'm toilet trained. I would be happiest being inside around people and love venturing outside with company.

I love playing with the smallest foster dog in this household as he has the most energy, yet usually that becomes a 3 way play session most of the time with the larger dog here as well. Show me a lead and I love to go walkies. I walk very well on a lead.

My foster family says: She's an adorable girl. She loves being patted and praised.
She's a real gentle girl.

If you are seeking a companion and have lots of home time or are prepared to make me part of your family then she's the dog for you. She's gentle, quiet, yet puppy energetic and affectionate. Loves everybody and fine with my 3 dogs. At first she was shy though that past quickly. She is an inside / outside dog and likes to be near you. She sleeps indoors. Her eyes just make you melt though she is a lifetime commitment.
She deserves a large yard and plenty of play time with lots of company. I love going for a ride in the car, so being dog friendly she would be ideal to tag along.

Bella says: I’m pretty clever too. I already know how to sit, go outside to the toilet and I have no food aggression. I’m just waiting to be taught new tricks. I’m sure I will learn them pretty easily.
