10/11/2024:  Bella delights in playtime, much to the dismay of her foster brother. Her youthful appearance and spirited nature belie her nine years. An enthusiastic giver of kisses, her little nub is always wiggling with joy. Initially, we kept her in a crate for a few days to help her decompress. While she tolerated it, she wasn’t particularly fond of it and would often whine. Now, we trust her to roam freely in our living room when we’re away.

She previously lived with cats, and it seems she’s reacquainting herself with them. Bella has been known to stalk and bark at our cats, intrigued by their small size, yet she hasn’t acted aggressively. The cats, unafraid, venture out even in her presence, though they aren’t particularly fond of her.

Bella adores sleeping in the human bed, happily snuggling right next to you, and loves to burrow under the pillows on our sofa. She generally responds well to commands, though her focus wanes when preoccupied with the household cats. She has shown no aggression and eats peacefully alongside our dog. Bella has also been wonderful with our three-year-old son, showing potential as a delightful nanny dog for a family.

Bella is a sweet and joyful girl who would make a wonderful addition to any family.
