Bella is a sweet 12-year-old Lab/Shepherd mix owned by Karissa and the pair lives in Missouri.
Bella was part of a litter that was dumped out of a car with her mom. Karissa’s neighbor saw it happen and called her and her family. They immediately headed out to rescue them. She ended up being the puppy that they decided they couldn’t part with.
Since that fateful day, Karissa and Bella have been inseparable. They have completed many 5ks together but Karissa’s favorite was one they completed a couple of years called the Wizards 5k. It was Harry Potter themed and when they turned down an alleyway decorated with a giant spider and dementors and she turned and ran leaving Karissa to chase her down.
When Bella isn’t having Karissa chase her down you will likely find her sleeping at the foot of her bed or curled up on the couch. Bella also loves everyone she meets, going on car rides, hiking, and going on adventures. Her favorite treats are Trader Joe’s liver snacks and Karissa often calls her “Princess.”
Karissa has loved the dogs her entire life and their unending faithfulness and unshakeable love.
