Bella (Middletown)
Meet BELLA!
Long live the queen.
BELLA may have come from a sketchy backyard breeder situation, but don’t let that humble origin story fool you — this girl is clearly royalty who simply hasn’t found her castle… yet.
Estimated to be 4–5 years old, BELLA was rescued by a Good Samaritan who knew she deserved far more than the life she had been living. And from the moment she arrived, she’s been proving to everyone that she was born to rule a much cozier kingdom.
BELLA quickly became a staff favorite at our vet. In her foster home, she shares her court with four small dogs and does beautifully with them. Cats? Mere peasants. She politely ignores them. She has also lived with young children and does well.
She can sometimes be a little nervous when meeting new people. It demands on their vibe. With others she’s just fine. Give her a minute and she will reward you with the sweetest, most devoted love.
BELLA’s favorite place in the entire world? Draped across the back of the recliner above her foster mom’s head like the regal overseer she is. From this throne, she surveys her kingdom and keeps watch over her people.
She loves wandering her fenced yard, enjoys her walks, rides like a lady in the car, and would happily accompany you on adventures. But above all else, BELLA is a world-class snuggler. A professional lap dog. A bedtime cuddler of the highest order. She prefers to sleep in bed with her humans and will happily melt into you for hours.
She is house trained as long as you take her out regularly, completely non-destructive, and waits patiently by the door for her people to return home.
BELLA weighs 18.8 libs. She is spayed, vaccinated, negative for heartworm and tick-born viruses, and her bloodwork looks beautiful.
All she needs now is her forever castle… and a lap worthy of a queen.
If you’re looking for a loyal little shadow, a gentle companion, and a royal snugglebug, BELLA is ready to reign by your side.
She is being fostered in Middletown, CT. Submit an application to adopt and we'll take it from there.
