Notes: Bella is a quiet gentle girl, three to four years old, who likes people (especially if they give belly rubs) and has done well with dogs at the shelter. She is not house trained but walks well on leash, although she can be a little stubborn when she finds an especially good smell. She is not too large, 45-50 pounds. Bella has been at the shelter for many months and is so looking forward to have a real home of her own. She would love a family who would like to take her for lots of walks and some kids to spend time in the yard playing with her and give her the attention and love she has been missing.
