Goodness Gracious, you just have to meet this dog. This is Bella. She loves everyone and she is very outgoing and friendly. She has bouncy happiness and will surely make you want to run and play. Bella is 2yrs old and a medium size at 43lbs. She is submissive to people and will lay upside down for belly rubs. In fact, belly rubs are a way to calm her down if she is acting like a nut. Bella is in need of an active family who likes to run, hike or play enough to make her happy. She knows sit and is food motivated for training. Actually, she really likes learning new things and loves to hear Good Girl! Bella is good in the car, good with other dogs she has met so far and has lived with older children. Her silly energy might be too much for a small child if they are sensitive to getting knocked over. Same for a small dog or older dog. You may want to bring your dog at home into the shelter to meet Bella and see how they do. If you are looking for a best buddy, she is your girl and ready for adventure.
