BELLA (COURTESY POST) - LABRADOR RETRIEVER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat). **This is a courtesy post. Bella is NOT a YCSPCA dog. All adoption interest will be forwarded to her caretaker.** Sweet, bubbly, loyal, and fun - Bella is the complete package! Bella is estimated to be around 4 years old and is a loving girl looking for her forever home. Bella is a total wiggle-butt that greats everyone she meets with a big smile and is a social butterfly who wants to be everyone's friend. She has an infectious, happy personality. Bella currently weighs about 75lbs, but would benefit from losing at least 10lbs. Who needs a weight loss buddy? Bella and her brother, Bitsy, were surrendered to a local dog boarding facility after their previous owner was no longer able to care for them and moved across the country. The staff at the facility love the two dogs, but know that they deserve more attention than they can get at the facility. It would be amazing if the dogs could be adopted together, but they aren't bonded and would do okay being separated. The most important part is that they can find people to love and care for them. Bella is the mellower of the two kiddos. While she loves to run and play, she is also a big couch potato who loves cuddles and getting attention from her people. She is a goofy girl who loves rolling in the grass and sunbathing. Bella knows her basic manners, but does need some reminders now and then. She is very food-motivated, which makes training a breeze. Bella hasn't been introduced to dogs in a while, per company policy, but she likely would do well living with other easy-going dogs after a slow introduction. Bella hasn't lived with cats before, but she may do well with living with dog-savvy cats after a slow introduction and proper supervision. Bella would be a wonderful addition to a home with kids 12 years and older. Bella is housetrained, but may have some accidents while adjusting to a new environment and routine. It's been about a year since she has been in a home setting, so her new family will need to be patient with her while she acclimates to being in a home again. Bella is spayed and up-to-date with her vaccines. Bella is such a wonderful girl who deserves a family for the holidays.
