e weighed just 20.1 pounds and was clearly malnourished. With proper care and lots of love, she has truly blossomed—now weighing 27 pounds, with an estimated healthy adult weight of around 32 pounds. Bella is an affectionate, curious young dog who absolutely adores people. She has been wonderful with everyone she’s met and gets along very well with other dogs . She may be a bit shy at first introductions, but give her 15–20 minutes and she quickly warms up, eager to play, connect, and engage. She’s still learning the ropes of life outside the shelter and is making impressive progress every day. Bella is doing well with house training and thrives on a consistent schedule , which helps her succeed. She walks nicely on leash and is a pleasure to take out. As a young dog, she will benefit from continued guidance and structure as she matures and settles into a home. Bella has a voracious appetite—for both food and affection! She’s currently eating more than a 70-pound dog at mealtimes, a testament to how much she’s catching up after her rough start. Bella was rescued from a San Bernardino shelter where she was facing euthanasia just weeks ago. Thanks to a dedicated volunteer who transported her north, she made her way to safety, and I picked her up in Hollister. She is now fully vetted and up to date on all vaccinations. Bella is ready for a family to open their home and hearts to her. She has so much love to give and deserves a forever home where she can continue to grow, feel safe, and thrive. Due to her prey drive, a cat-free home is recommended. She may do ok with a dog-saavy cat. All MAD dogs come with a Fi Collar and six-months subscription.

  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.
