About Bella Inglethorpe
Meet Bella, a sweet natured little lady who would love nothing more than a family to call her own. Although quiet, she is coming out of her shell and loves to be around people and where the action is.
Bella would be best suited to a couple, an older person, or a family with teenagers. She loves kids and wags her tail with delight when she sees or hears them, but little ones may be too much for her. Bella has always been an inside dog and would like to have someone at home with her during the day. Alternatively, another small, calm dog may be good company for her. She gets along well with those close to her in size, but she sometimes feels threatened by larger breeds. Bella could also live with a cat if they were introduced carefully as she has lived with one previously.
Bella loves her walkies and would enjoy one each day, especially if she can have a bit of a sniff and a run around. She is quite easy-going on the lead, although she does sometimes get excited and needs to be reminded which way to go. Bella will need a home with secure fencing in the yard so she cannot escape. She also adores car rides and is keen to jump in and join you on an adventure.
Lovely Bella is longing for a home of her own where she can really feel loved and wanted as part of the family. Could that be you?

Adoption details
We are a community fostercare network, not a shelter, and our dogs and cats are cared for in private homes. Note that we are very careful where we rehome our dogs and cats and we have an intensive process. If you want a quick turnaround we are not the group for you. If you seem like a good match for the dog of your choice we will organise a telephone chat, a meet and greet and a property check. We offer a six-week full refund, free assistance for six weeks for any issues, and a lifetime takeback policy with a fifty percent refund of the adoption fee, and of course an invitation to our adopters’ Christmas party.
We care for our dogs and cats and we want you to as well. We know that genuine applicants have no trouble with this process and understand that if we refuse you a dog or cat, it is because you are not the best match for that pet.
Our commitment to the dogs and cats in our care is total and we treat each one as if we are passing on a family pet. This may not suit you so we point out that there are equally great dogs and cats available in pounds, shelters and with other rescue groups.

Please note that we do not take/make telephone calls prior to receiving an application.
Commonly asked questions and their answers are provided when you email us. Unfortunately we usually will not have time to reply to enquiries in more detail and will give priority to completed applications over enquiries. Priority will also be given to typed applications which are easier for us to read and to copy relevant parts.
We look forward to receiving your application.
This pet has been adopted and found love with its new family.
