Bella was rescued by animal control in southern Illinois and spent months in the shelter. A staff favorite, this gentle girl they called Babybelle has walked many tough miles in her 5 years. Despite these challenges, Bella is super friendly with everyone she meets, wagging furiously and coming up immediately for pets. She is a champion snuggler who prefers to have her head on her humans whenever possible. She walks well on a leash and sleeps until you wake her in the morning. She loves, loves, loves a car ride! Bella gets along well with the two cats at her foster home, napping with them and sharing her food without complaint when they steal it. She would prefer to be the only dog in the house and is choosy about which dogs she is ok with when out and about. Bella is a great camping/hiking companion! She joined her foster on a 3 day camping/hiking trip. They slept in a tent for 2 nights and went on hikes ranging from 4 miles to 11 miles each day! She seemed to really enjoy it! If this sweet face is calling to you, please fill out an application and make an appointment to meet beautiful Bella. Bella is microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations and spayed. This dog's family will be required to complete a basic obedience course of their choosing. A meeting will not be scheduled until you have an approved application, so if you are interested in adopting this dog, fill out an Online Application today!
