Hi. I’m Bella. Yes, that Bella—the one who literally chose her human.

One day I just… followed my now-mom and her dogs home like, “This seems right.” And honestly? Best decision I’ve ever made.

I’m about 2 years old (vet’s best guess, but have you seen my teeth? Very white. Very youthful. Iconic.) and 66 pounds of smart, sweet, slightly opinionated perfection. I’m some kind of part Shepherd/part angel mixup of breeds, which basically means I’m beautiful, athletic, and smarter than your average roommate.

Let’s get into my resume:

• Human-Oriented Queen – I like to be near my person. Preferably always.
• Extremely Smart – I learned sit, high five, and treat-catching immediately. I’m basically a prodigy.
• Toy Enthusiast – my stuffed Highland cow and tiny T-rex? My prized possessions.
• Excellent Communicator – I will bark to let you know when I need to go out to do my bidness in the yard. Efficient. Clear. Respectful.

A few notes from management (me):
I prefer to approach new people on my terms—no surprise greeters, please. I’ve got boundaries, and honestly, good for me. I do great with other dogs, but have not been exposed to cats. I am a loyal companion to my people.

My dream home:
A fenced yard (I love my space), lots of walks (I love my walkies), and a human who appreciates a smart, loyal, slightly sassy best friend.

Favorite things:
Ear scratches, back rubs, snacks I catch mid-air, and being told I’m a good girl (because I am).

If you’re looking for a dog who will choose you, stick by your side, make you laugh, and keep life interesting… I’m already halfway home.
