Hi there! My name is Bella, and I’m a happy, wiggly, energetic girl who is just waiting to find my new best friend. If you’re looking for a shadow who loves fuss and attention as much as I do, we’re going to get along famously! I’m here because, very sadly, my owner passed away and the immediate family were unable to care for me.

I’m what you might call a ‘people person.’ I absolutely adore meeting new friends, though I’ll admit I sometimes get so excited that I can’t help but jump up to say hello! My absolute favourite thing in the world is a good bum scratch. I’ll even put my shoulders down and my bum way up in the air to help you reach the right spot. Just a warning: if you stop before I’m finished, I’ll let out a little vocal ‘hey!’ to remind you that I’m still here for more cuddles.

When it comes to other dogs, I can be a bit of a ‘big talker.’ If I see a dog behind a fence or while I’m out on my lead, my hackles might go up and I might bark a bit—but don’t worry, I’m not being mean! I’m just feeling a lot of big emotions. Once I actually get to say hello, I settle right down and walk very nicely with my canine companions. When I’m off-lead, I’m actually quite an independent lady; I’m happy to let other dogs do their own thing while I focus on the important stuff, like sniffing every blade of grass and having a good roll in the dirt!

I’m a ‘busy bee’ by nature, so I’m looking for a home where we can stay active together. I love my toys—especially the soft ones—and I’m always up for a gentle game of tug or fetch. I’m a clever girl, too; I already know how to ‘sit,’ and I was a total star during my assessment, even when sharing my food and treats.

My new home will need a secure garden where I can zoom around, and a family who has plenty of time for enrichment and play. If you have a spot on your sofa (and some spare time for bum scratches), I’d love to meet you!
