Bella has not had the best life and we would dearly love for her to find a furever place where someone is home quite a bit who will spend time with her and just let her be your best friend and companion. When you do have to go out she will need a secure place to just curl up and relax in.
Bella will need to be the only animal in the family so that she can just lap up your love.Dogs for Adoption
