BELLA

6 y/o  F Pekenese/Terrier mix

If you are looking for a companion who has enough personality to fill a household; who has the charm of a baby, the passion of a teenager, and the temper of a toddler; who will break your heart with sweetness and make you feel like the most important person ever to walk the earth; and who needs someone very special to give her the kind of time and dedication that only a very special person could, then you should meet Bella.  

She is:

• Around 5 years-old, 9 lbs

• Border Terrier + Pekingese + Poodle (+ dash of Min Pin and of Shih Tzu!)

• Snuggly, loving and people oriented

• Hilarious and engaging, a total clown

• Crazy athletic; will risk life and limb for her ball

• Totally engaged and enthusiastic about life

• Play, play, playful and fun

• Independent. Entertains herself when you’re not in the mood

• Calm and not destructive in the house (Although she does love a good paper towel now and then)

• Tolerant of other dogs, doesn’t really play with them, but likes to tease and show off her ball; 

• Leash reactive

• Not tolerant of any small animals; high prey drive (but still can’t catch that darn seagull!)

• Healthy and indestructible; allergy itching 

• Highly trainable, food motivated, and…

• Special needs.  Bella has that toddler temper and just doesn’t know how to express herself in a healthy manner, which is to say that her bite inhibition is not reliable. Coming from extreme neglect, she needs someone who will be dedicated to helping her find alternative ways of reacting and who will put in the one-on-one training she needs to make up for lost time.  She has been evaluated by animal behaviorist, Lee Wells, PhD. (wellsdogs.com), who found her to be ready, willing, and able to work on new reactions, patterns and habits.  This special girl requires experienced, advanced dog people and cannot be adopted to families with children.

• Oh, and house trained!  Will use a piddle pad too, if necessary.

See pics and vids of her on Instagram @Adopt_Me_Bella.

Please contact Laurel, with ScratchMyBelly.org, to meet her live and in person.
