About Bella Meriville
Please note: Bella will be rehomed with another dog.
Sweet Bella is a beautiful, loving and gentle girl who just wants to find a family of her own. She has come from a puppy farm and can’t believe that she now has people to love and care for her. She loves to gaze into your eyes and is a big fan of giving kisses and holding your hand. Cuddles with her foster family and doggy friend Lucky make her happy little tail wag. As her trust grows, Bella is starting to show her cheeky, playful side. She loves to chase your hands when you make the bed, and she runs around diving here, there and everywhere when her foster family arrive home after being out.
Bella is house trained and this clever little girl has mastered the doggie door. She understands the command to sit, walks well on the lead and knows her name.
An ideal home for Bella will be with humans that love cuddles and kisses and are dedicated to providing further socialization as Bella can still feel quite nervous on occasion. She has shown some good improvements in social interactions since being in our care. Bella will shine in a home with a confident dog. Her foster sibling Lucky has taken her under his paw, sharing his bed, cuddles and helping her to grow in confidence. Bella can be wary around new people and a home with small children would be too overwhelming for her.
Bella is untested with cats.
If you think you have the perfect home for this amazing soul please complete an adoption application. Bella would love to find out more about 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.
