Belle - Poodle Dog for Adoption in Pacific Grove, California

Looks like: Poodle mix
Female, 10 years old (estimated), 15 pounds

Belle is a sweet little lady who came to us from a difficult hoarding situation. Life hasn't always been easy for her, so she approaches the world with a quiet, cautious heart. But once she feels safe, her soft affection and gentle spirit shine through. Belle is happiest in calm surroundings. She's not the type of dog who wants busy adventures or crowded outings, she's much more of a homebody. New places and lots of stimulation can feel overwhelming, so she's looking for a mellow, patient home where she can settle in at her own pace.

One thing that helps Belle feel secure? Other dogs. She does well with calm canine companions and often takes comfort in their presence. A friendly resident dog could help her continue building confidence.

Belle joined POMDR after being rescued from a hoarding situation with 14 other dogs. She's still gaining confidence every day but she's ready to land in her forever home.
