Hi Everyone!Meet BellaBella joined our family through rescue and quickly became a playful sidekick to my other dog. Her playful personality and unconditional love remind us every day how special the bond between people and pets can be. She is a little anxious but we learned a lot by partnering with a experienced dog trainer. She loves the other dogs in her pack and just needs a little time and patience for new friends. She has been a great foster sister to dogs we have fostered, showing them &nbsp;the ropes of family life.&nbsp; We&#39;re participating in the AAPAW Pet Ambassador Program because we want more animals to have the same opportunity Bella received. Thank you for supporting local rescue efforts and helping create more second chances for animals in need.
