Violet's Story

Hello! Violet's name has been changed to Bella. 

Bella is getting along so great in her new home and she loves the other dogs that live in our apartment building.  I trained her a bit before we signed up for the PAWS Virtual Training courses and she continues to do so great. We're on week 4.  I'm SO PROUD of her! 


Funny First Time: The first time Bella saw her reflection, she sat there staring at it in the window for about 10 minutes. It was also the first time I ever heard her bark (it was not intimidating whatsoever). 

Favorite Activities: Bella loves going on short runs while she's still a puppy and also loves going to the dog park. She is a great socializer. But she seems to love her training the most. 

What I enjoy most about Bella: Her personality!  Bella is smart and sweet and truly the most affectionate dog I've ever known.  She thankfully has also slept through the entire night since day one. She recently started developing the cutest tan spots all over her body. 

2 month update: January 2021:  Bella (formerly Violet) is the best! She is just so sweet and very smart.  She is just perfect!  Bella can do lots of cool tricks, and she's always got her head in my lap when we're at home. Sometimes, the tip of her tongue barely slips between her lips and she'll just leave it there, barely peeking out. It's the cutest thing! 

Bella loves to go to the dog park.  She is great with people, kids and other dogs. One time Bella seemed to magically disappear in my small 1 bedroom apartment.  When I found her, she was burrowed in the pillows on my bed.  I've included a picture of Bella doing this, as it's one of her favorite things to do now!  I love her funny personality and so does everybody else!

I've included some pictures from Bella's adoption day to show PAWS how much she has grown!  She was 3 months old on her adoption day and she is almost 6 months now.  Bella is definitely growing into a beauty!
