Bella

Microchipped, Neutered and Vaccinated

Beautiful little lady Bella is looking for a very special someone to offer her the best home.

Bella can be nervous when meeting new people and you can see she can be insecure. She is lacking in confidence and needs help to build this up.

Within the house Bella is a very playful loving dog, but does not like new people coming into the house. She will bark and will not approach them.

With people she trusts, she likes to be close to you. She can be an overly affectionate dog, loves to sit on you and she does like the company.

When Bella is out in the garden she will react to all noises. If there are dogs in the neighbouring garden or children out playing. She would suit a more rural enviroment where there is less noise and distractions. She would benefit from a large enclosed garden as she loves to run around and expel some of her energy.

When out walking she has been known to react to other dogs, barking with the occasional lunge, however this is through fear and she has been successfully introduced to other dogs in the past. We would advise her being the only dog in the home.

Bella does show some resource guarding behaviour, mainly towards high value objects like bones and new toys. She will need a confident handler to help overcome and manage this.

She has been brought up with children all her life but due to her issues we feel she may need an adult only home moving forward.

Bella would benefit from an owner with experience with reactive and nervous dogs. She will need someone with a lot of time and patience to bring out her full potential.

If you feel you could offer Bella the loving home she deserves please contact the office directly on 01224 208989 or click on “Request to adopt Bella now”.

I will be happy to have a home. Are you sure I'm right for you?
