About this Dog
old German Shepherd from McKinney, TX, whose playful spirit and loving nature make her the life of any gathering! Bella’s youthful enthusiasm might surprise you—she greets every moment with the same joyful energy as a puppy. With her striking black and tan coat and bright, attentive eyes, Bella is a bundle of happiness weighing around 60 pounds. Her favorite pastime? Chasing after balls! Whether you’re up for a game of fetch or just tossing one across the yard, Bella’s always ready to dash off, tail wagging and spirit soaring. Attention from her human friends lights up her world—she adores being petted, brushed, and showered with love, wiggling with joy the whole time! Bella may not have had formal obedience training, but she’s picked up a few handy commands along the way, including “Sit” and “Stay.” Crate trained and house-trained, she’s well-mannered indoors and content when left alone for short periods. Despite her energetic side, Bella knows how to relax when needed, making her an adaptable companion for both active playtime and cozy evenings in. While Bella generally gets along with other dogs, she does feel a bit anxious when seeing unfamiliar ones from a distance. A calm introduction helps her feel more comfortable, and once she’s familiar, her friendly side shines through. She’s great with young children and adores being around people, always eager for a good petting session or some playful interaction. This affectionate girl thrives in a home with a fenced yard where she can safely stretch her legs and enjoy some spirited ball-chasing. Bella’s loyalty and desire to be near her loved ones make her a constant companion—always ready to be by your side, whether you’re heading out for a walk or just lounging on the porch. Spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations, Bella is healthy and ready to start her next adventure! She’s a loyal friend who will fill your days with laughter and companionship. If you think Bella’s boundless love and playful energy would be the perfect addition to your family, reach out today!

Adopt Bella and Receive Bella's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Bella's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$7 is Bella's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Bella, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Bella's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Bella was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Bella’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Bella’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Bella’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
