Personality
- Bella is a fun-loving, happy girl who loves attention! She loves playing with stuffy toys and chewing bones.
- She enjoys playing with other dogs and was reported to be good with children while at the shelter.

Special Considerations
- As a young dog, Bella has a fair bit of energy and curiosity! She has been pretty quiet, so with the right physical and mental enrichment she should do well in an apartment, townhome, or single-family home.
- She’s still learning her manners and would benefit from some basic training—like understanding that toys and bones are for chewing, not hands. She’s eager to please and with a little guidance, she’ll catch on quickly!
- Right now, she's carrying a few extra pounds and needs a healthy diet and regular exercise to help her feel her best.

Training and Learning
- Bella enjoys being outside on walks, and is learning not to zig-zag on leash! She has been polite when passing other dogs and people on walks.
- She has done very well in her crate both overnight and during the day
- She is working on perfecting her potty training and appears to be making great progress. She is also working on basic commands such as "sit."

Energy level
- Bella is a young dog who understandably needs an outlet for her energy! She would do best with both physical and mental stimulation. Once she gets that, she is happy to snooze on the couch with her family.

Bella is looking for her forever home where a new family will cherish her fun personality and companionship.
