Bella Beagle Minneapolis, MN

Bella is a 9.5 year old beagle mix in good health. She has all of the typical beagle traits. She loves sniffing around in the back yard and on walks, eating treats, and snuggling. Overall she is a loving dog who enjoys being by your side. She is a beagle that likes to bark at other animals but is pretty quiet inside. She loves people and is warm to anyone new (except the mail man).

She’s never had an issue with children and tolerates crying, running, tantrums of children well. However, given her history, she would likely be a better pet for someone with older children or no children. She should not be in a home with other cats and dogs. Her ideal home would have a fenced in back yard or an owner who takes her on two walks a day.

An important thing to know about her behavior is that she is a rescue. When we first got her she had resource guarding and leash aggression and had no skills (other than being house-trained) as an adult dog. After working with her for several years her main concern while walking on a leash is she barks and reacts to other dogs. However, since she is very treat-motivated and can be re-directed on walks with treats to reduce barking. She will have occasional resource guarding but it can be avoided with proper re-direction. She is house-trained and has all of the basic commands down (sit, down, stay, etc).

Overall Bella is a loving and sweet girl. She is being rehomed because her current owners aren’t able to care for her as she deserves at this time.

Please note that because we require a home visit at the time of adoption we can only place animals in homes within a 100-mile radius of Minneapolis. If you are interested in meeting Bella, please go to our website and fill out a dog application.
