(1) Bella: Bella is a beautiful 7-year-old Lab mix with the sweetest personality you could ask for. She may be a little older, but she has so much love left to give and is ready to spend her golden years with a family of her own. Bella does have a mass on her stomach that our vet thinks could be cancer. Bella is gentle, affectionate, and happiest when she’s surrounded by people who will love her as much as she’ll love them.

Mocha seems to do well with other dogs and would likely enjoy having a playful companion—or she’d be just as happy being your one-and-only adventure buddy. Like most Huskies, Mocha would thrive with an active family who can keep up with her fun-loving spirit and give her plenty of exercise and attention.

She will need a patient adopter who understands that trust takes time and is willing to let her adjust at her own pace. Once she feels safe, her sweet personality begins to shine through. She would do best in a calm, loving home where she can build confidence and know what it feels like to truly belong.
