History: Bella is a 2 year old rottweiler/aussie mix who was recently returned to rescue after not being the right fit for her adoptive home. She is a really great girl with a few specifics she's looking for in the ideal placement:
-Potentially could co-exist with a dog-friendly cat but with slow intros and the right fit.
-With a medium energy level she needs some mental stimulation and physical exercise
-Would do best with other dogs who are calm and/or submissive
Bella's fosters at K9-Playtime say she is a beautiful, sweet girl who would make a lucky family very happy. She has been with them since April 2025 and has been socializing daily with dogs of all sizes, ranging from beagles & corgis to wolfhounds & danes. She has a wonderful personality, is playful, and gets along great with everyone. She is smart, learns quickly, and is very affectionate. She does not have accidents overnight, she walks well on leash, was introduced to children and was so excited to meet them, and she also came in contact with a cat or two at Angel's Pet World while on a walk and only showed curiosity during the encounter, absolutely no reactivity was seen. They believe she is the total package - an all around fantastic dog.
Adoption Fee: $500 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsively more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
