About Bella
Hi there, I’m Bella – a gorgeous senior Staffy with a big personality and an even bigger heart. I’ve lived a full life so far, and now I’m just looking for a warm, loving home to settle down in for my golden years. While I might be getting on a bit, don’t let the grey hairs fool you – I’ve still got plenty of spark and love to play when the mood strikes! I’m a bit of a diva (in the best way, of course) and like to do things on my own terms. I’ll come over for pats and cuddles when I’m ready, and when I’m done, I’ll simply walk away. For that reason, I’d be happiest in a home with kids aged 12 and over who understand I like my space respected sometimes. I get pretty stressed when I’m left on my own for too long, so I’m really hoping to find someone who’s home most of the time. I love being near my people – whether that’s snuggled up on the couch or pottering around the backyard while you hang the washing. I’ll need full access indoors and outdoors, because being left out of the action just isn’t my style.
I’m still quite playful and enjoy a good romp, so if there’s another dog in your home, I’d love to meet them first to make sure we’re a good match. And since keeping me safe is important, I’ll need a secure yard with solid 6ft colorbond fencing – I like to explore, but I don’t want to end up lost.
If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion with just the right amount of sass and sparkle, I might be your girl. I can’t wait to meet the person who’ll give me the retirement I deserve – full of love, belly rubs (when I ask for them!), and cozy naps by your side. 💕
