Meet Bella
Bella is an intelligent girl who loves her walks, attention and spending time with her people. She enjoys interactive activities, particularly games that make her think, such as using a Kong. She would love a home where she can receive plenty of companionship, exercise and mental stimulation.
Training and Behaviour
Bella is housetrained and crate trained. She can be left alone for up to four hours in her crate and has also slept in a crate overnight in the past. She is used to travelling by car, although her journeys so far have been relatively short, at around 30 minutes.
Bella walks well on the lead but can pull towards other dogs because she wants to say hello. She is not currently let off lead, so she will need to continue being walked on a lead or exercised in a secure area while her recall is assessed.
She is described as friendly and has shown no aggression towards people. She is also happy for items to be taken away from her.
Other Dogs
Bella is friendly towards other dogs and is keen to approach them to say hello when out walking. She has not shown aggression towards other dogs, and her owner feels she could live with another dog.
As Bella has not been allowed off lead, her behaviour during off-lead interactions is unknown. Introductions to any resident dog should be managed carefully to ensure they are a good match.
Cats
Bella is not suitable for a home with cats, as she will chase them, even when she is on the lead.
Food and Feeding
Bella is currently fed Butcher’s Lean & Tasty wet food alongside Pooch & Mutt Slim & Slender kibble. She is described as greedy, so sensible portion control and consistent feeding routines will be important.
Home Life and Things She Enjoys
Bella sleeps in her own bed in her owner’s bedroom, although she has also slept in a crate overnight previously.
She loves going for walks, receiving attention and enjoying intelligent games such as a Kong. Her new family should provide regular exercise and activities that keep her mind occupied, as well as plenty of affection and company.
Bella’s Ideal Home
Bella would suit a loving home where her family has time to give her the attention, exercise and companionship she enjoys. She may be able to live with a compatible resident dog, subject to careful introductions, but she cannot live with cats.
Her new owners will need to continue lead walking, as she is not currently let off lead, and help her learn to remain calm when meeting other dogs rather than pulling towards them.
Bella is a friendly, intelligent girl with lots to offer. With a consistent routine, plenty of walks and opportunities to use her clever Beagle brain, she could make a wonderful addition to the right family.
