Welcome Bella!

Bella is a sweet, petite brindle girl who is only 2 years old, and right off the track. She is also on the shy side. However, she has made several improvements over the past few days, so I think she will be able to adapt with a little extra attention.

At first, she didn't want to be near us or look at us. But after 2 days, she is looking right at us, sleeping in the living room, and learning to come when called.

So far, we have had no problems with housetraining. The car ride went fine and she got along well with our mixed breed dog. She didn't pay any attention to the neighbor's cat outside, though it was her first day and she may have been overwhelmed. So I don't know for sure about cats yet.

We are also trying to get Bella comfortable with walks. She's fine as long as the other dog is there, but would need some patience and understanding if she went into a home where she is the only dog. I am also not going to say for sure yet that she should be with another dog, but it would certainly speed up her adaptation.

Stay tuned to see how Ms. Bella progresses! If you're interested in seeing her, please contact Denise first at (304) 229-4944
