About Bella Star

Animal Profile: Bella was found running in traffic in Turlock, but luckily wound up at animal services instead of meeting an untimely demise. She's dog friendly, and social with people but has little experience on leash. She's estimated to be 5 years old and weighs 15lbs. She's exudes that scruffy, sassy terrier charm. Foster Update: With her scruffy fur, short legs, and round body, and endearing underbite, Bella looks like an adorable Terrier + Corgi + Pekinese mix. Bella is a typical terrier type; she's opinionated and needs someone to let her know it's not her job to police things. She can be tentative when first meeting new people, but does warm up quickly after proper intros. She needs someone that can advcocate for her space and help others understand that she doesn't necessarily want to be friends with strangers. For that reason, we are not considering homes with young children for her. Bella has made great strides on her leash manners in foster care, this girl is even treadmill trained! She can be reactive if she is allowed to lead the walk. Bella is social with other dogs, but doesn't appreciate new dogs right up in her face. She's comfortable providing firm, but fair corrections if a dog steps over the line. She is not a dog that would enjoy the dog park. Bella is currently living with another dog and exists peacefully with him. She would be ok with or without a respectful canine companion in her forever home. She has had limited interactions with cats, but we think she would do well with a dog savvy feline friend. Bella is house trained, crate trained, and looking for a home with dog experience.
