About this Dog
Courtesy post: Future Family, Hi, I’m Bella—a sweet, loving pittie girl hoping for my second chance at life. My journey’s been a tough one. When my beloved person passed away, everything changed. I lost my home, my routine, and the sense of security I once knew. I’ve been in the care of a kind human, Lori, who stepped up to save me just in time from being sent to a shelter that might not have given me a chance. Lori is doing everything she can for me, but life has been incredibly hard lately. She’s grieving the loss of her brother (my original human), helping with family challenges, and caring for several dogs and cats already. I’ve been living in her basement, crated most of the time—not because I’m bad, but because there simply isn’t space. She makes sure I get out at least four times a day and takes me on walks when she can, but this is no life for a dog like me. I know she’s exhausted and heartbroken, but she’s kept me safe, and I love her for it. Soon, her son, daughter-in-law, and their baby are moving into that space, and I’ll have nowhere to go. So now, it’s urgent. I need a home. I’m about 5 years old, crate-trained, and I know “sit,” “paw,” and “wait.” I’m very food-motivated and love to learn. I haven’t had much recent socialization, so I can be shy and nervous around new people—but once I know you, I warm up and become the sweet, playful, loving girl I truly am. I’ve lived with dogs before and might be able to again with a proper introduction, but I haven’t met Lori’s male dogs yet. I once stayed with a dog sitter and did great, but it’s been a while. What I really need is someone patient, kind, and willing to let me bloom in a calm, loving environment. Someone who sees past my current situation and knows I’m not broken—I’m just waiting for the right person to help me feel safe again. I’ve already lost so much. But I haven’t lost hope. Please consider being my hero. With love and tail wags, Bella Contact Lori at 443-367-1697 or lmartin2777@yahoo
Contribute to Bella's Stash!
100% of Bella's balance will be sent to whoever adopts Bella.
Adopt Bella and Receive Bella's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Bella's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Bella's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Bella, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Bella's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Bella was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Bella’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Bella’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Bella’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
