Description:

Meet Bella Donna,

Bella is an approximately 3-4 year-old pit mix, likely crossed with a hunting dog (terrier or pointer), weighing in at about 55 lbs. She was adopted 2 yrs. ago and lived in a loving home but was placed in adoption when her owner had to leave for the military. As a result, she is an independent but doting dog who just wants to know where you are and be near you. Naturally contented, she can easily go out for a run or lay by your side while you work, happy to see and be seen by her owner.

Bella enjoys a structured environment with a consistent routine and doesn't require firm redirection. She is crate and potty trained and has no trouble being left for hours without supervision. She’s been great with kids of all age--especially those who throw tennis balls for her :).

Her favorite activities are playing ball, swimming, jogging, and chewing on her toys....did we mention playing ball?! She is a hunter at heart, stalking, pointing, focusing intensely on whatever she is after. At the same time, she follows directions quickly and without complaint. An expert swimmer, she will fetch a tennis ball amid rough waters and schools of angry fishes. While on land, she’s capable of catching birds in mid-flight (but won’t kill them in the process), jumping four feet in the air from a crouched position, and running at lightning-fast speeds with jaw-dropping agility.

Just watch the videos to see her in action.

As you can see, Bella is a real charmer with an amazing attitude. Adopt her today.

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.

Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters.

How to learn more about a pet: Complete the application (click on the button above) to start our process for adopting or fostering a MARS Pet.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
