Story | Belle was surrendered to a rural shelter by her owners. They stated they could no longer care for her.

Other Dogs | Great, Belle has met other dogs on and off leash. She is friendly, playful and respectful. She will do great in a home with or without other dogs.

Cats | Unknown.

Children | Friendly! Belle has lived in a home with young children. She is gentle and kind to them.

Training | She knows basic commands like sit, paw and down. She is eager to please! Sometimes too eager and forgets the command given She'd love an adopter that will sharpen her skills with consistent training.

Leash | Belle walks nicely on leash. She is not afraid of it and enjoys going out for walks.

Activity Level | Medium. Belle is an energetic Lab that enjoys regular exercise and socialization. She understands when it is time to settle down and gladly takes a nap on a dog bed (or the couch ). She will benefit from an active lifestyle that keeps her engaged and busy!

Health Notes | Belle is spayed, up to date on vaccines and heartworm NEGATIVE! Belle appears to be dealing with some skin allergies. The good news though, is that Belle has already started treatment for both of those things, and she is on a limited ingredient food, and she is already improving!

Thank you! |
