Dog of the Month

Bella

Breed: Bull Terrier x Staffy
Born: 28th July 2011
Sex: Female
Adoption Fee: $300.00
BIN: 0000292198263

Bella originally came into Yaps for boarding but sadly was never picked up so she became a Yaps girl at the end of February.
Bella has not had the best life and we would dearly love for her to find a furever place where someone is home quite a bit who will spend time with her and just let her be your best friend and companion. When you do have to go out she will need a secure place to just curl up and relax in.
Bella will need to be the only animal in the family so that she can just lap up your love.
