Bella

Not tested with cats.
Older children only.

Hi my name is Bella, I’m a beautiful girl who loves to snuggle on the couch, I have a beautiful coat and the colour is stunning, it looks much better in real life.
I’m a bit on the porky side so need to go on a diet.
I came into SRV’s care with Chloe, we have both been used as a breeding machines 😢
As we both love human attention we would be better suited to be home separately we both get the attention we need.
I'm a happy go lucky girl and would make someone the perfect companion.
I love cuddling on the couch, chilling out in the backyard or going on an adventure in the car.
I sometimes like to jump up, so for that reason I would be suited to a family with older children.
I haven't shown any dog reaction when tested but when at the vet I really got nervous about the big dog that was there.
I have not been tested with cats so I'm not sure if I will like them.
I need to learn doggy manners, I know how to sit but that’s about all, so obedience school is a must from me to reach my full doggy potential. I pull hard on my lead and because I’m so strong I need a good handler and is another reason I need to go to school.
Like Chloe I don’t like people grabbing my collar so I need some help on desensitising me with that problem.

Summary:
Happy, inquisitive and confident dog.
Seeks human attention, but will sit beside you contentedly without demand.
Not easily startled or fearful
No signs of food or toy resource guarding demonstrated
Has shown shyness towards collar grabbing and would require someone to work on desensitisation.
Requires obedience training
Propensity to escape solid fencing required
Will jump for attention
Not tested on cats
May be able to be rehomed with another dog
So if you think you can offer me a good forever home where you’ll be able to give me all the above in return I will give you all the love and loyalty you could ask for!
