4/16/25-Foster Update:
Bella is one brave girl! She still shows no interest in playing with our resident dog, but she does enjoy having him close by. Potty training has gone well and she is still sleeping in her crate overnight. She loves attention, and if she had her way, somebody would be petting her 24 hours a day. We are not sure how she is around cats, but she did show interest when she saw one on TV! Good interest or bad interest… we are not sure. If you are someone with a patient, resident dog, and you are willing to work with her, she might be a wonderful addition to your family.

Bella continues to get braver every day! She was terrified of the TV when she first came but has taken a liking to it. She met my 5-year-old grandson recently and fell in love with him but I feel she would do better with older children. She is still startled by the quick movements and loud voices that younger children have. She does need a confident dog in the home that will be patient with her for a few days as she warms up to them. She is always looking for attention and loves to have her ears scratched.

Bella is a sweet 6-year-old Golden Retriever. She was surrendered from a breeder and has breeder tendencies such as being afraid of new people, noises, and new situations. She has learned to trust us and comes to us for attention but will crouch down when we walk up to her. She has learned to like and trust her foster brother but it took a week or so for that to happen.
She eats and sleeps (at night) in a crate and during the day sleeps in it with the door left open. She is good about letting you know if she needs to go outside as she will pace around and not lie down. We are not sure about kids and cats but feel she might be best with kids a little older that don’t make lots of sudden movements and loud noises.
She will need a fenced yard and another dog so she can continue to be more confident. She will need a patient family willing to work with her on trust. If she sounds like she might fit into your home, apply today!
