Bella - Canaan Dog and Australian Kelpie Dog for Adoption in New York, New York

Meet sweet baby girl Bella Bear!

Bella’s story began on the busy streets of Cairo, Egypt, where she was forced to survive all on her own as a tiny, vulnerable puppy. Thankfully, compassionate rescuers found her and stepped in, refusing to look away. They brought her to their sanctuary in Egypt where she was loved and cared for, living with loads of other dogs and wonderful caretakers, until she caught her flight to the US for a fresh start!

Now living in a loving foster home, Bella is soaking up American life and blossoming into an incredibly sweet, smart and affectionate playful girl.
