Beautiful Bella is seeking a foster or furever home! She is a Pyr mix, and has a stunning, long, soft coat. She’s still growing and trying to figure out what doggy life is all about. She would love to get a home where her people could teach her the joys of playing with toys and running around in her very own yard! She’s so happy to be in the company of humans, always wagging her tail with joy. She’s good with male dogs and cats, but can be a little protective of her food. Bella walks well on leash. This pretty girl enjoys being brushed and loved on by her people, and is sure to be a wonderful companion to a very lucky family!

Key considerations are: 1) the experience of the applicant with large breed dogs 2) children in the household or regularly visiting the household are ready for a large-breed dog who is a guardian by nature and 3) the sex of other dogs currently residing in the household to avoid same-sex aggression issues. For puppies under six months old, the applicant’s ability to socialize the puppy with older dogs is a priority. We may consider fostering for some of our dogs who are in boarding.
