Meet Bella a beautiful 6-year-old Labrador cross.  She’s a bit overweight at present but just means more of her to love. She is laid back, always happy for her exercise and equally as happy snuggling up on the couch with you. She has good endurance and enjoys long walks. She loves being in the car and enjoys the breeze in her hair! She LOVES a good cuddle.

She is obedient and sits and waits for permission before going into a room. She is not destructive, doesn’t bark very often and is described as a very obedient and loving girl

Bella enjoys being at home around her family and is well behaved. She is friendly but because she is protective, she will bark at anyone coming to visit unless told that ‘it’s okay’.  She is fine to be left on her own at home and she will not be a nuisance.

However….Bella is fearful of other dogs and is reactive if they come too close, however, offering her some treats helps. She is being supported by a dog trainer to overcome this fear but still needs a firm hand on the leash. She is getting there and making progress. Good work Bella!

Her new home should have someone who is willing to be at home with her when she first arrives to help settle her in as she may be initially anxious. The offer of treats helps to settle her. Bella seems fine in the company of the right cat.
