Bella - Pit Bull Terrier and Mixed Breed Dog Available for Adoption in Springfield, Missouri

Meet Bella!

Bella is a beautiful Pit Bull/American Bulldog mix who is a little over a year old and the perfect combination of playful, loyal, and loving.

This sweet girl had a rough start in life after being abandoned at Roaring River as a young puppy. Thankfully, a kind-hearted Good Samaritan stepped in and gave her the chance she deserved. Now, Bella is looking for a forever family to call her own.

Bella is housebroken, kennel trained, and already knows several commands, including sit and shake. She's a smart girl who loves making her people proud!

When she's not showing off her manners, you'll find Bella playing tug-of-war, chasing a ball in a game of fetch (and actually bringing it back!), or enjoying a good chew bone. She loves going for walks and has earned the title of "mole tracking machine" thanks to her impressive backyard detective skills.

Bella is also good with children. She has a sweet, affectionate personality- One of her favorite things in the world is climbing into your lap for cuddles, where she'll happily snore away during one of her many daily naps. Despite her size (70lbs), she firmly believes she's a lap dog!

If you're looking for a loyal companion who loves adventures, belly rubs, toys, and naps in equal measure, Bella may be the perfect addition to your family. She's overcome a difficult beginning and is ready to spend the rest of her life surrounded by the love she deserves.

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.
