About Bella
Hi! I'm Bella and I'm looking for a new family to call my own.
APPLICATION PROCESS APPLIES FOR Bella
PLEASE COMPLETE THE BELOW APPLICATION FORM
https://forms.gle/Zg6wo6GGKzdngAKd7
What I need in my new home:
• Short regular walks, trips to the park or beach, playtime in the backyard
• Further training with basic doggie manners
• To be allowed inside with my family
• A doggie companion is a MUST to keep me company when my family isn't home or a family that is home all the time. I suffer from separation anxiety which results in barking and possible destructive behaviours.
• I like both friendly male and female dogs
• Secure Fencing (6ft Colorbond or equivalent)
• Lots of toys and mental stimulation
• A diet of good quality dry food to help keep my teeth clean
• Lots of love and attention
• A family that will love and care for me during my twilight years
• I like both friendly male and female dogs however I can be full on in play, so another dog with the same energy as me is a must.
• I have a high prey drive so I can't go to a home that already has cats, rabbits/guinea pigs or chickens/ducks as I will chase them
Things that I don't want in my new home:
• To be left alone in the backyard without any interaction
• Not to be allowed inside with my family
• Never to go on a walk or rides in the car
• Cats or small animals as I may find them fun to chase
My best features:
• Wiggle butt
• Highly food motivated
• Gentle & placid
• I have had some basic obedience training and am a generally well-mannered dog
• I love attention and having snuggles with my humans
• I know my basic doggie commands
• I walk well on lead
• Happy to hang out with other dogs
• Social butterfly
• I appear housetrained
• I love attention, hugs, kisses & head scratches
• Well mannered
• Love to snooze on the couch
•
Where I need to improve / Training required
• I appear to be quiet vocal at times when left alone - a family who has a lot of time for me, allow me indoors and leave me with lots of mental enrichment when home alone is recommended
• I can be strong on the lead - training and walking me in a halti or harness may stop this
• I walk well on lead, unless I want to go in another direction, then I tend to pull harder
The application process can take up to 2 weeks so please allow this much time for us to get in contact with you regarding whether you have been successful or not.
