Meet Bella – the Golden Girl of Cozy Living! ☁️💛

After spending her entire life with one loving family, sweet Bella found herself at the shelter through no fault of her own when financial hardship made it impossible for her family to keep her. While that kind of change would be difficult for anyone, Bella has remained exactly what she’s always been: a gentle, fluffy ray of sunshine.

At 9 years old, Bella has perfected the art of relaxation. Long walks? Optional. Chasing squirrels? Sounds exhausting. A soft couch, a comfy dog bed, and a family to love? Now we’re talking. This docile golden retriever mix is happiest enjoying the simple pleasures in life and being near her people.

Bella has lived with other dogs, gets along well with cats, loves children, and greets everyone she meets with her sweet, easygoing personality. The only thing she isn’t a fan of is thunderstorms.

Bella does have some medical needs. She has a condition called perianal fistula, an inflammatory disease that causes painful wounds around the rectal area. She’s currently doing well, but will need lifelong medication, monitoring, and a prescription hydrolyzed protein diet to help keep flare-ups under control. She also takes daily thyroid medication. Her future family should be prepared for the ongoing cost and commitment of managing these conditions.

The good news? Bella recently had a dental cleaning, so her pearly whites are sparkling and ready for plenty of treats and smiles.

If you’re looking for a calm, loving companion whose biggest goal in life is to be a fluffy little cloud beside you on the couch, Bella may be exactly who you’ve been waiting for.
