Meet Bella II

11/5 Update:  Bella, she is now Bella Boo! She loves her humans and wants to be anywhere they are. She loves going on adventures with them. Bella loves side by side rides and also going on the boat. She wears a life jacket that she doesn't mind but is not too sure about the water but does swim when her humans are with her. She doesn't mind her kennel however sleeps with me at night. We are going to start letting her stay out a little at a time because sometimes she will go to sleep by herself on the couch at night and has never chewed on things she is not supposed to. We are working on walking on a leash but she really likes to pull and makes walks a mission. We are going to start training soon to work on this. Bella has a fenced in yard and goes out to do her business but doesn't like to be out much unless she is with someone playing. We are also working on playing fetch and but wasn't too sure about a ball at first! We are getting a little better each time! Bella wants all of your attention. She is good for awhile with another dog but then after awhile that is enough so she needs to go to a home where she is the only one. Bella has a lot of love to give and even gives hugs at random times especially when you get home.  

Adoption Process
All potential adopters must complete an adoption application which includes veterinary records for any current or past pets; adopters go through an interview process and a home visit. Once those steps are approved, the potential adopter can meet available dogs that fit the criteria and are a good match between family, home, and dog. An adoption contract is signed with the stipulation that RCBR can do a follow up visit and remove the dog from the home if any part of the contract is breached. Dogs can only be adopted once spay/neuter or other medical conditions requiring treatment are completed. An additional training contract is signed for any dog needing further training. If the adoptive family cannot keep the dog for the long term, the dog must be returned to RCBR. RCBR must be notified if family is planning to euthanize dog due to illness and/or old age or unknown behavior issues and can then elect to take back the dog.
