Bella Rose sounds like the name of a sweetheart in a movie and honestly… it fits her perfectly. This girl has one of those soft, angelic faces that immediately makes you trust her, the kind where you look at her and instantly think “awww sweet baby.” Then she starts wiggling her whole little body in excitement to come say hi and it’s pretty much game over for you. Between her happy wiggle butt, adorable freckles scattered throughout her body, and the gentle, easygoing way she moves through life, Bella Rose has this naturally comforting presence about her that just makes people smile. She’s sweet without being over the top, playful without being wild, and has the kind of personality that makes her feel easy to picture in everyday life. The type of dog that quickly becomes part of the routine, part of the family, and honestly… one of your favorite parts of the day.

Bella Rose is believed to be a pittie mix approximately 2 years old and currently weighs 57 lbs. She is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it’s always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age.
Bella is honestly the perfect middle ground when it comes to affection. She’s not the type that’s going to follow you into the bathroom, crawl into your skin, or dramatically throw herself on top of you demanding attention every second of the day LOL. But she’s also not distant either. She has this really easy, natural way of showing affection where she’ll come lean into you for pets, curl up beside you on the couch, quietly follow you from room to room, and check in throughout the day just enough to make you feel loved and connected to her. It’s actually such a refreshing kind of companionship. She gives affection in a very genuine, calm way that feels comforting instead of overwhelming. Like she just wants to be part of your life and near her people without needing to be the center of attention 24/7.
One thing Bella absolutely does get excited about though? Her toys. Especially balls LOL. Give this girl a tennis ball and she is fully entertained. She loves tossing them around for herself, chasing after them, carrying them from room to room, and happily creating her own little games without needing constant interaction from you. It’s honestly really nice because she has no problem entertaining herself for long stretches of time while you work, clean the house, or just relax nearby. Every now and then she’ll look over at you like, “did you see that?” after making a great catch or dramatic pounce, which somehow makes it even cuter. She has this fun, playful side to her that comes out so naturally with toys, and it’s such a good balance with her otherwise easygoing personality.
From what we’ve seen so far, Bella Rose was really sweet with the two kiddos she met that were ages 5 and 8 years old. She was respectful, playful, and happily hung out right in the middle of all the activity without seeming overwhelmed by the running around, playing, or general kid chaos happening around her. One thing we especially noticed was how naturally gentle she was. She wasn’t jumping all over them or being too much, she just seemed genuinely happy being included in the fun and soaking up the attention.
Bella is dog friendly and has done well with the dogs we have introduced to her so far. She has been with dogs her size and dogs smaller than her as well. When it comes to play time, she is good about matching the energy of the other dogs. She will play when play is invited and will enjoy those relaxing hangout moments too. Bella has shared affection with other dogs with no issues and has shared treats around other dogs too. In a home, we do believe she would do best in a home with a male dog that is not too playful but not too lazy either. She would also do best in a home with no cats as well.
Bella has shown to be a smart little lady as well and is treat motivated too. She already knows some basic commands such as sit, is crate trained and from what we have seen, she is potty trained too. Bella does pull on a leash and is currently practicing her leash manners and learning how to walk like a lady. She is being gentle lead trained and is already showing so much improvement with her leash skills and not pulling as much when she walks with her gentle lead on. She does great with structured leash walks and we do believe she would be a great companion to take with you on outings, walks around the neighborhood, or even mini hikes with the right handler.
Her dream home can look like so many different things because of how adaptable she is. Work from home and want a companion? Bella will happily be there all day for emotional support. Have a family with kids and wanting a companion for your tweens or teens? Bella would love that too. We truly believe Bella would be happiest in a home with a backyard and a semi-active family that enjoys including their dog in everyday life.
We are willing to test Bella Rose with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know.

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.
At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!
We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention.
