Hi, I’m Bella—also known as Bell or Baby Ghoul.
I’m three years old, fiercely independent, and happiest when I’m exploring on my own terms. I love long walks, slow hikes, and poking around a fenced yard looking for snacks and treasures.
I do best with younger, calm male dogs. My best friend is a 2½-year-old husky mix who’s taught me how to trust humans (a little) and how to play nicely with other dogs. Having a confident, non-reactive dog buddy like him helps me stay brave in new situations.
Here’s the honest part: I’m very reactive. I have low vision and anxiety, and I’ve bounced between homes because my fear responses can be intense. I take daily Prozac and Gabapentin and will need to stay on them until my behavioral vet says otherwise. I also have hip dysplasia and a subluxing patella, so I eat high-quality food and take joint supplements to keep me moving comfortably.
Training has helped me a lot—I spent five weeks at Paws & Play and finished a six-week beginner course with my foster family—but I still have strict boundaries. I like to sit near you (sometimes even on your lap), but I don’t like to be petted. My foster dad worked for six months to earn a brief two-second head scratch, and only when I’m in the mood. My foster mom has been patient too and, yes, got a few bites along the way.
What I really need is an emotional-support human—someone patient and active who respects my space, follows safety guidelines when meeting me, and understands that love doesn’t have to mean constant touch. A quiet home with no kids is essential.
If you’re the kind of person who appreciates a one-of-a-kind spirit, I could be your slow-hiking partner and loyal companion—on my terms, in my own time.
