ornia. Tragically, her mom was killed, and Bella, along with the two children, went to live with a relative who suddenly found herself caring for more kids and dogs than she had planned. Wanting the best for Bella, she made the difficult decision to rehome her.
Unfortunately, that situation didn’t work out, and Bella was later abandoned, ending up as a stray wandering in McLean, VA. Thankfully, a local animal advocate brought her to safety, and now Bella finally has the chance to find the loving, committed home she has always deserved.
Bella is currently being fostered with Janet and her two dogs, and she has integrated easily into her new pack, and likes to romp around with her pup pals.. She has a moderate energy level; she enjoys playtime but is calm and relaxed inside the home. She even sleeps in bed with the other dogs at night and clearly loves canine companionship.
We believe Bella would do best in a home with another dog and someone who has a more flexible schedule. When left alone, she may cry briefly but settles down quickly. Because of this, a single-family home would be a better fit than a condo setting.
Her foster mom describes Bella as an incredibly loving, gentle, and sweet soul. She is great with kids, cats, and other dogs. Bella is crate-trained and housetrained, has good leash manners, comes when called, and knows how to sit. Most of all, she just wants to be close to her people. She loves belly rubs, time in the yard, and soaking up affection from her humans.
This sweet girl deserves stability, love, and a true forever home.
