Bella Bloodhound Mix Minneapolis, MN

Please request an online application at dogs@pethavennmn.org.


Bella is a large Bloodhound. But in actuality, she’s a purebred chowhound. At about 97 pounds, she’s needs to slim down. But she’s been on the SlimFast diet for a while now and has managed to shed a few unwanted weight.


A typical hound, 6-year-old Bella follows her nose everywhere and sometimes right out of the yard, so a fenced yard is a must for this scent-driven girl. Gentle exercise is the best medicine for Bella because she is on thyroid medication (part of her weight problem) and will have to be on this maintenance med the rest of her life.


Bella likes to chew and cuddle with her stuffed animals, go on walks and car rides and hang out in the backyard chewing on a bone. She has a beautiful hound "bay" when she howls, and snores like a train when she sleeps. She's very much a typical "good 'ol girl".


Good with kids, other dogs and even cats, we suspect, gentle-natured Bella is looking for a home that will offer lots of love, cuddles, snuggles, pets and, okay, a few treats now and again. A soft bed would be nice, too.


So if you’re looking for a companion who will be devoted and sometimes a little clownish, Bella is your girl.
