Bernese Mountain Dog and Labrador Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption

Hello from Texas! I am a pretty 6-month-old, 40-pound Bernese Mountain Dog/Labrador Retriever mix puppy named Bella, and I am looking for a forever home. My mama was a pregnant stray when she was found in the Rio Grande Valley (see her picture). She had 2 beautiful puppies on 8/18/25, my brother Scooby and I, and we have all been living in a foster home ever since. I am now spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to find a wonderful East Coast family!

I am a very sweet and friendly girl with lots of playful energy, and I make friends easily with all people, young and old, and other dogs. I enjoy all the standard dog games like tug-o-war, chasing balls, romping and running with Scooby and my doggy friends, and chewing on doggy toys. I am very affectionate and snuggly, and I don't mind sharing kisses and getting some cuddle-time in, curled up on your lap like a lap dog, or snuggled next to my new senior doggy friend! I am just a wonderfully sweet girl, already housetrained and just need some practice with leash walking. My foster dad says I am a sweet and obedient puppy who will make a wonderful addition to any family! Inquire about me today!
Adoption Fee: $400
