Bella is a sweet, affectionate, 5 year old, blue, AKC Great Dane. For the majority of the day you can find Bella napping in the sun spot bellow a window, although she will happily interrupt her nap for a belly rub. Her favorite activity by far is walking. She will point at squirrels, but will not dash after them while on her leash (in areas where it is safe for her to be off leash she will chase squirrels up trees where they belong). She is a well trained dog who knows a smattering of commands like sit, stay, laydown, roll over, leave-it, and take-it. She walks well on and off leash, doesn't like water, plays well with other dogs, and has never shown any signs of aggression. She will make a great, loving addition to any family.

PUPPIES   Texas State law requires that we sterilize any animal adopted through this agency.     This will normally occur between 5 and 6 months at one of our approved veterinarians at the expense of the rescue.

Children under 8 years old  often are not a good match for our puppies and dogs.   In order to protect both, your child and our rescued dogs/puppies from harm, we seldom if ever adopt to families with young children.
