About Bella
All About Me and My Unique Personality:
Hello, I'm Bella! I'm a big girl but I am as sweet as they come and have a heart of gold. I love my walks, I get so excited and my whole body wags with my tail when I see other dog friends on my travels. I love gentle head rubs, cuddles and adore belly rubs. My foster mum describes me as a "ginormous baby". I can be a little wary of new people at first but once I know you'll be kind to me, I'll shower you with love, cuddles and big tail wags. I love my food and treats and am quickly learning to sit, shake and wait for my breakfast and dinner. I'm also learning how to take treats from my humans hands gently. I'm very smart and an extremely fast learner, especially when enticed with treats.
My Ideal Home:
My ideal home would be with a single person, couple or family with bigger kids who could spend time with me cuddling, playing and taking me out on adventures. I'm definitely a people dog and get so excited for walks and cuddle time with my foster family. As I'm still a young girl, I have a fair amount of energy so really look forward to my two walks a day and enjoy puzzle treats, bones and chew toys throughout the day to keep me occupied. At my current foster home I haven't displayed any signs of jumping and I am content being left alone in the yard and have not tried to escape.
What is Known About My Background:
I was found on a very busy road in the Port Stephens area with my chihuahua sibling. We escaped from our yard and unfortunately our owners did not claim us from the pound. My foster parents don't know much more about my background but based on my nature, they believe I was looked after pretty well although am a little wary of some men and took some time to warm up to my foster dad.
How Do I Interact with Kids, Dogs, Cats and Other Pets:
As I have only been with my foster parents for a short time, it is a little unknown how I interact with kids, dogs and other pets. My foster parents believe I would be fine with kids, although due to my size, I can be a little intimidating so older and/or dog confident children would be preferred. I am a very sweet girl and have demonstrated no signs of aggression towards other dogs. Prior to going into the pound, I was living with a chihuahua and he was the boss of me! When out on walks, I get very excited when I see other dogs and really want to play with them. I will need a bit of training around cautiously approaching other dogs so I don't intimidate them. I currently live with two cats at my foster home and have seen them through the screen door and windows and have not demonstrated any signs of aggression, just lots of interest and excitement!
