Pet of the week: Bella

Bella is looking for a new family that understands German Shepherd. She had been living with a family that were unable to meet her needs, resulting in  weight loss, an upset tummy and poor socialisation. Since being at the RSPCA Animal Care Centre, she has packed on the kilos, hasn't had any tummy upsets and is learning to make friends. Bella did have puppy training and knows her basic cues.

Bella loves to go for walks in the bush and find all the new smells. She loves people and enjoys having human company. She is not so fond of other animals, however, and would like a home with out any cats or dogs. Bella is not good at sharing her toys or food, but has been for on lead walks with other dogs and has tried to play with them, but still doesn't quite understand how to play politely.

We think Bella would be a great addition to a family that only wants one dog and likes to go for long walks.
