Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Swansea, Illinois

Meet Bella
Bella is just about a year old, but she’s already lived a life no dog should have to. She was found surviving on the streets with 10 other dogs, two of them being her own puppies. She was still just a baby herself, trying to take care of her babies while also trying to stay alive.
Now that she’s safe, you can really see who Bella is meant to be. She’s a gentle, sweet girl who is learning what it means to feel secure and cared for. She’s currently living in a home with her brother and doing well, soaking up the comfort of being inside and away from the chaos she once knew.
Bella is just under 30 pounds and could stand to gain a little weight. We believe she’s a Lab/Terrier mix, on the smaller side, which makes her a great fit for many different homes.
She’s still figuring things out, so she’ll need a patient and loving home that can continue to build her confidence and show her the good life she’s been missing.
Bella has done her part. She survived, she protected her puppies, and she made it out. Now it’s her turn to be taken care of. She’s ready for her forever home.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
