Arrival Story:
We had been looking for a friend for our doggie Daisy... And we had tried a little male Corgi, but he just didn't work out. We were at PetCo one day buying some fish food, and glanced up at the Community Billboard. There was a note saying there was a female German Shepard puppy, for free. We figured my parents always wanted a GSD, so we called... But when we met the little girl, we fell in love, and fell hard... She's been with us ever since.

Bio:
Bella's got some social and separation anxiety. She is very nervous around larger dogs and only plays with the small dogs. The woman who has her parents said that Bella was the runt of the litter - and the other ones would beat her up and not let her in to nurse. This woman also had 5 huge dogs in her house (two shepard mixes, boxer mix, boxer, and a newfie) that would roughhouse with the little girl. Poor Baby!! Bella came into our home and was shown tons of love - but if we leave her alone for too long - especially if we take Daisy and leave her home - she gets destructive and has accidents in the house. She has progressed so far now - she is okay with other dogs - as long as they aren't bigger than Daisy (I swear Bella thinks of herself as a little Papillon or Pekingese!) and is great with cats... She's big - she's awkward - she falls on top of you instead of laying down gently - she's dopey... But that's everything that makes you fall head over heels for her!!
