Grandma Bella, a senior Belgian Malinois, seeking a loving forever home. She is a delightful and affectionate lady in her golden years, ready to bring joy and companionship to her forever family. Bella is a senior dog with a love for life, garden hoses, and treats. She adores people. She greets everyone with a wagging tail and a desire for pets. She's patient, kind, and communicates her needs through gentle cues like ringing a bell or pacing when she's hungry or wants to go outside. She has basic obedience skills and has a strong recall with just her name. She's also comfortable with other animals and lives harmoniously with a 4-year-old female Malinois, cats, and chickens. She spends her time snoozing on her dog bed, playing outside with her foster sister, mingling freely with her feathered friends, and has been even caught sharing cozy moments with the cats. Ideal Home: Bella is a loving "Velcro" dog who wants to be close to her humans but is also content to rest on her bed while you watch TV or wait by the door in her favorite spot until you return from errands. A stay-at-home person, someone who works remotely, or a retired individual/family would be the best match for her. While she enjoys the company of other animals, her heart belongs to her humans, and she seeks affection and comfort from them. Bella is a very intuitive dog; she is sensitive to the feelings and needs of her person. She requires gentle handler, but is fine with loud noises and storms. Preferences and Health: Bella enjoys outdoor adventures, while staying close to her human. She's confident enough to lounge on her bed while you work nearby. Climbing stairs and getting in and out of taller vehicles can be challenging at times due to her age, but she communicates her needs well. Bella's coat is well-maintained through regular brushings, and she's on medication for arthritis to ensure her comfort.
