Description
Dog Breed: Dalmatian. Meet Bella, a 10-year-old Dalmatian queen with gentle confidence and a soft spot for the cozy life. At 76 pounds, she knows exactly what she wants—and isn’t shy about letting you know. Whether it’s more pets, a better lounging spot, or a timely trip outside, Bella is always ready for a little of what is next and loves to “discuss.” While she still enjoys walks and some playtime, Bella is happiest relaxing near her people and soaking up all the love. She adjusted well to her foster home with a patient, gentle family and has proven to be trustworthy when free-roaming. She is house-trained but needs frequent potty breaks with easy access to the yard. Because she can be a bit vocal, she’ll need a home without shared walls (no apartments/townhomes). She enjoys being active but doesn’t need quite the same level of intensity as a younger dog—think a nice balance of movement and plenty of couch time. A fenced yard will be required in her future home to keep her safe while she gets her exercise and fresh air. Bella does well with other dogs but does best with proper introductions. She's also great with kids, but she cannot live with cats. Bella also needs a special urinary food and will come with a month's supply, and we will work with your vet of choice to transfer her prescription for specialty food. If you’re looking for a dog with personality, presence, and a whole lot of love to give, Bella is ready to rule your home (and your heart). If you are interested in this dog, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - pethavenmn/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/ The adoption fee is $250. Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, heartworm/Lyme test, all age-appropriate vaccinations (distemper, rabies, and Bordetella), heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, and microchip implant (including registration). Adoption fees INCLUDE a mandatory sales tax of 7.525%. Age and breed are based on veterinarian and intake professional’s recommendation and not guaranteed as a rescue animal’s history is often unknown. Due to post-adoption services provided, we prefer to adopt within a 150-mile radius of the Twin Cities. However, we will consider up to 250 miles if the foster agrees to travel requirements and staff approval.

Overview:
The Dalmatian is an iconic medium-sized breed, instantly recognizable by its striking white coat adorned with distinctive black or liver spots. Originating in the historical region of Dalmatia (modern-day Croatia), these dogs were initially bred as coaching dogs, running alongside carriages to protect passengers and deter road agents. Physically, they are well-muscled and athletic, with a graceful, symmetrical build and an alert expression. Temperamentally, Dalmatians are known for being outgoing, intelligent, and highly energetic, requiring significant daily exercise and mental stimulation to prevent boredom. While generally good with children and suitable for active families, their playful exuberance might be overwhelming for very young kids, and their exercise needs make them less ideal for small apartment living unless exceptionally well-exercised. Health-wise, the breed is notably predisposed to deafness (affecting a significant percentage) and urinary stone formation, necessitating careful breeding and veterinary monitoring. Early socialization and consistent training are crucial for developing a well-adjusted and beloved family member.
