49 lbs., vetted, is or will be spayed, and micro-chipped. Bella arrived at the shelter as an owner surrender after her family's housing was condemned. She was saved on her last day at the shelter; her time was up. “Meet Miss Bella Mae! Are you looking for a dog who can keep up on the trails and then out-snore you on the couch? Bella Mae is your girl. She’s a high-energy adventurer who thrives on 2–3 miles of walking or running daily, loves to hit the beach, and rolls in fresh grass like it’s her personal spa treatment. When the day winds down, she transforms into a full-on snuggle bug — we’re talking sprawled across you, as if she just can’t get close enough. Bonus: she snores loud enough to compete with you at night. Personality & Quirks Bella Mae is one-of-a-kind. Between her tiger-striped coat, unique prick ears with floppy tips, and her signature happy dance before meals, she’ll win you over instantly. She adores her “binky” (the Kong Wobbler), and her play style comes with a soundtrack — a mix of wolf-like howls, silly chatter, and “what even was that?” noises. It might sound wild, but it’s just her way of showing joy. She’s also a lawn connoisseur — if she finds a patch of really good grass, she’ll flop down and roll around like she’s admiring fine art. And food? Let’s just say she’s dramatic. She’ll devour peanut butter, cheese, bananas, and watermelon… but spit out carrots like they’ve personally offended her. Training & Skills Bella Mae is crate, house, and potty trained, only chews toys, and has already mastered sit, wait, stay, paw, and leash manners. She’s working on off-leash recall and learning not to counter-surf (an old habit from worrying about food scarcity), but she’s smart, eager, and loves to learn. The Perfect Match Bella Mae would thrive with an active family who loves the outdoors as much as she does — hikers, runners, and beach/lake walkers.....she’s ready for all of it. She’s done well with dogs after proper introductions, coexisted with cats, and has great potential with children, especially if little ones are taught healthy dog boundaries. At her core, she’s loyal, goofy, affectionate, and a little diva about her favorite things. Once she trusts you, she’s your ride-or-die, your hiking buddy, your cuddle partner, and your best friend for life! If you are interested in adopting Bella please fill out an Application at .Passion-4-Paws (please make sure you have the Vermont site not CT) - thanks! Please note Fosters have 1st option of Adoption. ​Check out her Facebook page (please "Like" us while you are there)! Disclosure: Breed labels are often incorrect: we rarely know the genetic lineage of the dogs we rescue. Many shelters and rescues specify breeds based on appearance; however, research has shown that less than 2% of a dog’s DNA determines appearance! Passion 4 Paws does not practice the use of labels pertaining to compatibility with others or dog breed. Labels such as “dog friendly” and “child friendly” should be used with caution as they often over-simplify the personalities and behavior of dogs.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
