givers who have worked with her to overcome her fears. Hence, the love of being petted. She is a gentle, sweet soul who just needs that special someone who will build her trust so that she will believe that her world is safe. At 8 months old, she weighs 47 pounds and is expected to be in the medium size range (somewhere up to 60 pounds) when fully grown. You can tell she is a German shepherd mix by taking a look at the coloring of her short coat. Shepherd mixes are generally known to be smart, loyal, and affectionate. They can be energetic and therefore need plenty of exercise to prevent boredom. She is a great gal and does well with other dogs. In fact, she would do best with another dog (or more) in the home to help her to continue to build confidence. Due to her shyness, she would prefer older kids in the home that can respect when she's worried and needs space. She has not had the opportunity to be introduced to a cat since coming into rescue. Bella is working on her house, crate and leash walking skills. Daily short walks (under thirty minutes) will be a good opportunity to work on leash skills as well as socialization skills. It will be a new world to her with all the new sights, smells, sounds, and people along her walk. Please note: She may not be a running companion until after age one when her growth plate closes. Bella will also appreciate free time in the back yard to burn off energy. Keeping her mind active with activities that provide physical and mental stimulation is a must. Bella loves to be outside. It is her favorite place to be. Bella will want to be with a family that will give lots of affection and attention to her. In return, she will give her love and devotion. * When considering adoption, keep in mind that dogs thrive on structure and routine. They adjust much better when their owners are committed to providing consistency and stability. The adoption fee for Bella is $500. That includes the cost of spaying/neutering, up to date vaccinations, foster care, rescue and transportation fees.
