Meet Bella, our sweet and sassy senior pup who has been filling our hearts with love since 2015. We first met Bella at a major adoption event called My Furry Valentine, and it truly was love at first sight. Despite some lifelong health challenges, we knew she was meant to be part of our family—and we’ve never looked back.

Now 23 years young, Bella is living her best life surrounded by love, comfort, and lots of fuzzy squeaky toys she proudly carries around like her babies. She’s the queen of cozy and takes her bed very seriously—we always make sure she has a fresh one, and we top it off with one of our blankets to help her settle in until she adds her own special touch (aka, her scent).

Even in her golden years, Bella still has plenty of spunk! Whether she’s running through the house, tail wagging, or flashing her big, joyful smile, she brings light and laughter to our home every day. She may pretend to ignore her feline siblings, but she never misses a chance for a good belly rub or cuddle when Mom and Dad walk through the door.

Bella is a reminder that age is just a number when you’re surrounded by love—and breakfast and dinner, of course (her two favorite times of day). We are so grateful for every moment with our girl and look forward to many more years of happiness, wagging tails, and squeaky toy adventures.

We love you, Bella!
