Meet Bella

Apply For Bella

Meet Bella! Bella came to KAR through Kalamazoo County Animal Service as a stray. Bella was skinny after having puppies and was not doing well in the kennel. Alongside another rescue, KAR worked to get Bella into a foster home where she was able to receive some nutrition after being a dynamite mom to her pups. Bella has been around a family with kids, cats and other dogs. She would do perfectly well in a home with kids and cats. She would do better with a male dog than a female dog. does this cute lip sucking thing (like in the first picture) when she is happy or excited! Things Bella is great at: 1. Loving! She was a great mom and wants to be around her people. Driving, playing, sleeping, whatever it is, Bella wants to be there with you. 2. Playing! Sticks are her favorite, she loves to collect these on walks. 3. Kids! This girl was meant for a family with kids or who have frequent kid visitors. She is still working on knowing her strength but loves to follow kids around and lick them. 4. Bella is very treat driven and is very easily trainable. Bella is working on: 1. Walking on a leash without pulling. She still has some puppy energy and gets so excited to go outside. 2. Taking treats gently and releasing toys when playing. She probably never got a lot of treats or food to herself so she likes to play and is eager for a treat.

Tracy A is her foster parent. The adoption fee for Bella is $300, please complete our online application formspeak to a volunteer if you are interested in adopting Bella. A volunteer will contact you.

All Kalamazoo Animal Rescue dogs & puppies are spayed or neutered prior to adoption. Dogs have been heartworm tested and if appropriate (age and time of year) all dogs and puppies are given heartworm preventative. All are given medication to rid them of roundworms and checked and treated for fleas & ear mites, if needed. Dogs and puppies are given distemper vaccines and depending on how long the pet has been in foster care, additional distemper vaccine(s) may be necessary and the expense will be incurred by the adopter. Any canine over 4 months of age is brought current on the Rabies vaccine. Additional vet care may have been provided depending on the particular animal's needs. Dogs are individually priced as above.

It is in the best interest of pooch and owner to enroll in an obedience class soon after adoption. After all, you have a lot to learn about your new friend. Both PetSmart and the Kalamazoo Dog Training Club offer a discount to owners with newly adopted dogs. Enroll before any behavior problems start - you won't regret it!
