Bella in Pasadena, MD

Bella is a 4-year-old Cavalier whose former family put her needs first, knowing she needed more attention than she was getting when circumstances changed in their home. She is ready for her forever home now – is your family the right fit for her?  

Bella has separation anxiety and would whine for long periods of time when left alone in her previous home. She will also scratch at the doors. She needs a home where someone is home most of the time and has time to shower her with love.

Bella barked to go outside when necessary at her previous home, and she learned quickly to go outside using a dog door at her foster home and she enjoys having a yard. Bella enjoys meandering about the yard but usually only when her person and/or another dog is outside with her. 

Bella is a beautiful girl with a matching personality. She loves to give hugs and will try to smother her human with love. She also loves to give kisses (ok, maybe a full-face bath). Bella has settled into her foster home well. She loves a lap and blanket to lay on. She will snooze on your lap and let you pet her for hours. Bella walks well on a leash and she loves to meet other pets in the neighborhood. She does not like to be left and will try to bolt out the door when humans leave. She is very fast, so caution is needed to ensure her safety.

She loves car rides and likes to see the world outside the window! Bella plays with the toys in her foster home some, but more than anything, she loves to get another dog running with her and playing when she gets the zoomies. She loves chewing on bones and will occasionally chew on inappropriate things if she is not supervised and doesn’t have a bone available.

Bella was recently spayed and had a dental. Her vaccinations are current until 2025. She was a bit overweight when rescued and is now at her perfect weight of 19 pounds. She needs someone committed to keeping her at the right weight. Bella has always eaten home-cooked food, so she would probably do best in a home where she gets the same. She is a beggar, so someone will need to be very skilled at saying no and working with her to not beg.

Bella is accustomed to sleeping in the big bed with her human family and cries if not allowed in the bed. Bella has done very well with a companion and would like another dog in her forever home.
