In the shelter’s words

Meet Bella! This bright and social 2-year-old Border Collie mix loves making new friends wherever she goes. With her friendly personality, curious mind, and zest for life, Bella is happiest when she has people to spend time with, opportunities to play, and a little adventure on the horizon. She is ready to turn everyday moments into fun memories with a family of her own.Bella sports a beautiful black coat with touches of white and sparkling brown eyes that perfectly complement her happy, outgoing personality. At 41 pounds, she is a medium-sized companion who is just the right size to join you on all sorts of adventures.Bella enjoys playing with other dogs and does well with children, making her a wonderful candidate for an active family. She has not had the opportunity to meet a cat since coming into rescue. She would love to join you for walks, hikes, backyard games, and other family outings. With her Border Collie mix heritage, Bella is a smart, curious girl who will benefit from plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and opportunities to put her bright mind to work. A home that can keep her engaged and provide a safe, supervised space to run, play, and explore would be ideal. Her future family will have a great opportunity to help her channel all that youthful enthusiasm into fun activities and positive learning experiences.Bella is still working on some important young-dog skills, including house training, crate training, and learning to walk nicely on a leash. With patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, she will have the opportunity to build confidence and continue developing into a wonderful lifelong companion. She has not had the opportunity to meet cats since coming into rescue, so her compatibility with feline friends is currently unknown.Now all Bella needs is an active, adventurous family ready to make her part of the pack! If you are looking for a loving, playful companion who will happily join you for big adventures and everyday fun, Bella could be your perfect match. Apply today to meet Bella and let the adventures begin!* When considering adoption, keep in mind that dogs thrive on structure and routine.
