Bella is an exceedingly nervous little girl who takes a long time to trust new people and doesn't relate to them in the same way as other dogs do. She's never going to be loving or affectionate and likes her personal space, so is not keen on lots of physical contact. She is just starting to enjoy being touched, but this can only happen once a strong bond of trust has been built.

*Given time she has proven to have a cheeky character and a gentle nature. She enjoys playing with toys as long as people don't get involved. She now enjoys going for walks too.

*Bella needs owners who want a companion for another dog and not a companion for themselves. She will need to learn to trust her new owners and this will take a long time so new owners must not put her under any pressure as she crumbles.

*Bella can be very vocal towards strangers and she doesn't understand basic training, even house training. Bella also scent marks in the home.

*Bella needs highly experienced dog owners who have lots of patience and understanding. She must live in a multi dog house hold and can live with cats. Bella is not suitable to live with children of any age and wont suit a busy house hold.

*Bella is currently in a foster home and is not available for general viewing but arrangements can be made if you are considered a suitable match.

Bella is an extra special girl needing extra special owners. For further details about Bella call Brands Hatch on:- 01474 874994
