My Past: I was a former breeding dog and retired from that life... now it's my turn to be a loved family member on a soft fluffy bed! I ADORE my friends at Bella Run and am very well behaved off leash. I sleep in a crate at night and enjoy the safe quiet space in my kennel.
Likes: love, life, and snakkos (though she should have less snakkos because she's chonky)
Dislikes: nothing really... she's a very happy girl!
My ideal home: would include me in the family things and treat me like a good friend I am. I am a very loving dog that tries my best to be good. I am not super familiar with living in a family because my whole life I have just been a baby maker to make money for some guy, but since I was surrendered to Bella Run they have been showing me what it's like to be a valued friend! The more I learn, the more I love!


How to Adopt from Bella Run Equine:
1. Reach out to us with a brief paragraph about you and what you are looking for in a dog. If you are interested in a particular dog, let us know that.
2. We will then send you an adoption application to fill out (this takes 5 minutes for most people).
3. The thing that slows us down when approving people is obtaining their vet reference. If you call your vet and have them email a recommendation to us at bellarunadoptions@gmail.com, it speeds up the process so much. A good vet recommendation will include your current pets on file, their vaccination status, and whether you provide recommended vet care to your animals.
4. Once you are approved, we will contact you to set up a meet and greet. This means that you will need to drive to us with your children and current dogs to meet the potential adoptable dog.
5. Since you are already pre-approved at this point, you can choose to take the dog home with you that day if you wish (and if we determine that it is a good fit, we reserve the right to deny any adoption at any time based on suitability)
*The best way to contact us is to text us at 740-707-0793 or email us at bellarunadoptions@gmail.com with the dog’s name in the subject line.*
