Bella
Labrador Retriever / Shar Pei / Mixed (medium coat) · Adult (3 years 1 month) · Female · Large · Lewistown, PA
Notes from One Dog at a Time ODAAT
Lewistown, PA
Bella spent her days living on the streets alongside the homeless, and despite everything she has been through, she has remained a sweet, loving soul. She would do perfectly well as an only dog, but if she were to have dog siblings, a meet‑and‑greet would be required. Smaller dogs tend to be the best match for her, as she is not crazy about big dogs. Bella travels well, enjoys riding in the car, is crate trained, and likes toys. She is not high energy and has a calm, affectionate personality. Above all, she is a total love bug who will make a wonderful companion for someone ready to give her the stable, caring home she deserves.
When applying to adopt through ODAAT, please know that we take pride in placing our animals appropriately based on their needs and personality. We want the best family for them and the perfect fit for your family. All applications are reviewed prior to choosing an adopter, and this process takes time. We do not adopt out on a “first come, first served” basis. Applications can be found on our website: www.onedogatatime.us
