Bella is a mix breed spayed female approximately 7 years old and weighs 104 pounds. 

Bella is by no means a Ridgeback.  She is a dog, an all-American dog of non-descript origin.  The kind of dog you would expect to find beside a young boy in a Norman Rockwell painting.  If you want a trusting, loyal and affectionate companion, then Bella is the perfect dog.   

Animal control shelters can only allow a limited time for dogs in their care and when the dog is surrendered by the owner that time is very limited.  There are a few shelters that TIRR works with to the benefit of many purebred Ridgebacks.  Every now and then a dog that bears no resemblance to a Ridgeback ends up in a shelter that has so won the hearts of the shelter staff that they will go to extreme means to save a dog.  When they call, I cannot forget all the Ridgebacks they have saved by contacting TIRR.  Bella is such a dog.  With not an hour to spare Bella was placed in our care and now only needs your final helping hand to welcome her into a new home and a better life.   

Bella is approximately 7 years old with the energy of a two-year-old, eyes that will melt your heart and the experience of knowing exactly what to do to secure your love and attention.  Please contact TIRR at tirrrescue@gmail.com to get more information on adopting this sweet girl.  

If you are unable to adopt, please consider a small donation for her care or for other dogs in the TIRR Rescue program.
