DOG'S DESCRIPTION: Bella's Happily Ever After Starts With You
Some dogs spend their whole lives waiting for the chance to simply be loved. Bella is finally getting that chance—and now she's hoping to find the family she's always deserved. This gorgeous Bernese Mountain Dog was rescued from a breeder and is discovering just how wonderful life can be. While everything is still a little new to her, Bella is everything you love about the breed: gentle, quiet, and incredibly sweet with a calm presence that makes you instantly fall in love.
Bella gets along beautifully with other dogs and would enjoy having a canine companion to help show her the ropes, though she'd also be happy soaking up all the love and attention herself. She's looking for a patient family willing to give her the kindness, comfort, and security she's missed out on.
If you've been dreaming of a loyal, gentle companion with a heart as beautiful as her fluffy coat, look no further, Bella may just be the perfect addition to your family. Apply today!

Your new pet will require a refresher in house-training. K-9 Lifesavers strongly recommends all new adopters enroll their new pet into obedience training. This provides for an easier transition into a new home, ensures the dog remains well socialized, and helps form a bond between the dog and the new family.

Adoption fees cover basic vetting, rabies (if puppy is old enough), distemper/parvo vaccinations, deworming, monthly heartworm prevention while in our care (if old enough), monthly flea/tick prevention while in our care, and transport costs. K-9 Lifesavers will also cover the cost of spay/neuter at our partner vet at 6 months of age or reimburse adopter for up to the amount of our partner vet cost should you choose to spay/neuter at your own vet.

Foster Program: Foster homes provide for the temporary care of a rescue until the dog is placed into a loving, forever home.
