Bella is a one-of-a-kind girl with a one-of-a-kind personality. This medium-sized pup is believed to be a Basenji and Beagle mix, complete with expressive ears, a huge smile, and plenty of opinions of her own. Bella has spent more than three and a half years in rescue waiting for someone to see past her imperfections and appreciate the wonderful dog she is. She loves walks, lives for a game of fetch, and absolutely loses her mind with excitement over a squeaky spiky ball. Toys are the quickest way to her heart, and her goofy personality shines brightest when she's playing. Bella isn't the kind of dog who wants to be everyone's best friend, and that's okay. She enjoys affection on her terms and prefers shorter cuddle sessions. She's also happiest as the only dog in the home. While she can coexist with other dogs, she would much rather not have to share her space. One thing Bella does exceptionally well is communicate. If she's uncomfortable or needs space, she'll let you know through her body language and vocalizations. She needs an adopter who will respect those boundaries and listen when she speaks. Because she can become mouthy when her signals are ignored, Bella is looking for an adult-only home without children. We're looking for a very special person willing to offer Bella patience, understanding, and grace as she continues learning what it means to simply be a dog. We know we're asking for a lot. But after three and a half years of waiting, we still believe that somewhere out there is the person who will see Bella for exactly who she is and give her the chance she's been waiting for.
