What's up dog?
"She's was found on the street at 4 weeks old and the rescue centre change 4 change made sure she had the best upbringing and they did a fantastic job and her story sold us and ended up adopting her Miss Bella is a very spunky young girl, she continues to light up everyone's life with her head tilt and gorgeous looks. She has now started competing in agility and obedience training with always scoring a 1st-5th title. She is in love with everyone all shapes and sizes, including kids. She often visits schools, hospitals and many more. She is the best young girl anybody could ask for, she didn't have the best start to life with being found on the streets at 4 weeks of age, a lovely rescue brought her but the person she was with insisted on have dr*g money so they couldn't leave her in that state and she has been with me ever since."
