Introducing Bella:

Bella originally travelled to the UK from a shelter in Romania, with her sister Sahsa by her side the whole way.

These public shelters in Romania are extremely overcrowded, very short on funds for food, the dogs have barely any shelter from the harsh weathers and sadly dog attacks are becoming more and more regular. These 2 babies wouldn't have stood a chance if they'd have stayed much longer.

Since arriving with us Bella has shown to be the most gentle of souls. She is the quietest of all of the youngsters that we currently have in but she's very sweet and loving, she adores her 1-1 time with our volunteers.

Bella's journey from the public shelters in Romania, the 3 day drive to the UK and her time at Oakwood, has all been right beside her sister Sasha. They really do love each other so much and it would be the most amazing happy ending for these girls to be adopted together. We realise that this is a big ask though and so we are also open to the option of them being adopted seperately to at give them a bigger chance of finding their forever homes.

With other dogs:

Bella has shown us that she is great with other dogs and we can mix her with all of our dog friendly dogs with no issues at all.

With cats:

Bella was cat tested for a second time due to a lot of avoidance the first time and her sister being with her. Upon the 2nd cat test, she was able to be off lead however, she was truly terrified of the cat. She was visibly shaking and avoiding eye contact at all costs. She didn't show any prey drive so with very slow and steady interactions, we believe that she'd be ok to live with a cat in the home.

Active energy

Bella is still just a baby, she currently shows moderate energy levels but she has recently started going out on walks which she is absolutely loving

0-2 hours

Bella has never in her life been left fully alone as she's always had the company of other dogs.

There's a possibility that Bella could suffer with superation anxiety until she gets used to being alone, this will need to be worked on and built up slowly
