This smart, energetic girl is ready to conquer all that Colorado has to offer-from mountain trails to local parks, incuding snow and water! If you're looking for a devoted best friend with a perfect blend of playful energy and deep affection, she is ready for her lifelong adventure partner! Want to adopt this dog? Please do not email us. Please fill out the Adoption Application ASAP. Personality | Noel/Bella is a very happy, energic girl! She loves to play with toys and chase balls!Story | Noel was found as a stray and brought to the local shelter. She was taught sit and shake. Other Dogs | Great! She loves to play with doggy friends! Cats | Not sure. Doubtful - she is a hunting dog. Children | Good! Due to her energy and exuberant nature, older children may be best as she may accidentally knock over a toddler.Training | Noel/Bella is potty trained, although she does not bark to go outside. She might be bell trained as she did use the bell once. She can be coached into the crate with a treat, will cry for a few minutes then settles down and relaxes.Leash | In progress. She will pull with excitement and needs training. We have been working with her, but she needs to continue the work. Activity Level | Moderate. She'll run and play with other high energy dogs, but I think her preference is to play with her own balls and toys. Health Notes | Thank you! | Adoption Donations | Our adoption donations are $575 for dogs 8 weeks to 1 year old, $525 for 1 - 6 years old, $475 for dogs 7 - 10 years old, and $350 for 11+ years of age. Purebred dogs regardless of age are $625. These minimum donations help to defer the costs of initial vet care, food, transportation to Colorado, and supplies while in foster care that currently average over $750 per dog).Meeting Dogs | Foster dogs may have meet and greets by appointment to approved applicants only. To become an approved applicant - please complete the application process. We will not respond to emails about animal availability or allow meet and greets without an approved adoption application on file. Please Note | Available dogs are updated as soon as possible and we do our best to keep it up-to-date, but occasionally dogs shown may become unavailable without notice due to a pending adoption. We can not guarantee that a dog you wish to adopt is available by the time your adoption application is submitted, processed, and approved. Your application is good for one year from the date of applying for any dog as long as it is a good fit for your family and your lifestyle. We encourage you to put in an application even if you don't see your new family member currently, as once you are approved, we can place you on the waiting list for first priority on the selection of the dogs we do bring in. That means you can often meet a dog upon transport arrival and adopt before they even make it to this page!
