About Carol Belle’s Breed:
Our best guess is that Carol Belle is a Pomeranian mixed breed. Pomeranians are known for their bright, lively personalities and their big dog confidence wrapped in a tiny, fluffy package. They’re affectionate, alert, and love being involved in whatever their people are doing, whether that’s playing, learning new tricks, or simply supervising from a cozy lap. Their expressive nature and eagerness to bond make them wonderfully engaging companions.
An ideal home for a Pomeranian is one that offers structure, gentle handling, and plenty of companionship. They thrive with families who appreciate their sensitive side and can provide routine, mental stimulation, and lots of interaction. Because of their small size and sometimes timid nature, they do best in homes that can keep them safe, respect their boundaries, and let their spirited, loving personalities shine.
What to Love about Carol Belle:
Belle is a professional snack catcher, a devoted fetch enthusiast, and a total joy to watch as she zooms around the yard with her foster siblings. She usually brings the ball back, too — a true overachiever!
Belle is a sensitive girl who gets car sick easily and can pee when she’s scared in the car. New things can be overwhelming for her, and she’s currently petrified of asphalt, so she’s been hitting the wooded nature trails instead! Because of her fear of asphalt or concrete sidewalks and her energetic nature, a fenced yard is required so she can safely run, play, and build confidence. Plus, she LOVES playing fetch and has had a blast running after a ball in the yard at her foster home! Bonus points if you have a ball throwing machine!
She gets along beautifully with the small dogs in her foster home and would benefit from a friendly, patient dog sibling to show her the ropes, though she could be an only dog with the right adopter. Her play style is submissive and easygoing, and she’s learning important manners like taking treats only when her name is called and respecting boundaries. She’s working on sit, come, drop it, and leave it, and she’ll even use a pee pad inside if she isn’t let out.
Belle is timid with new people and would do best in a home without small children who may make sudden moves and scare her, both because of her size and her shy nature. She doesn’t need a crate and does well when left alone in the home. Her foster mom absolutely adores her, especially when she “barks” with the ball still in her mouth — a signature Belle move!
