Description:
AraBella, Or Bella to her closest friends, is a total lovebug who wants nothing more than to be by your side in whatever you’re doing. Whether you’re working around the house, relaxing on the couch, or heading outside, she is happiest being near her person. She was born to a stray at an oil rig site in Texas but has quickly learned how wonderful life with people in a loving home can be. Bella is affectionate and sweet but still has a lot of puppy energy, including jumping up to greet people. Because of this, she may be a little too much for very young children, but with guidance and consistency she will catch on quickly. One of her funny quirks is sneaking sips from her foster’s tea glass, which always gets a laugh. Bella would love a home that will enjoy her playful, silly side and help her polish her manners. In return, she will give you endless love, loyalty, and companionship. AraBella is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 10/4/2025 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 9am and noon . Please plan for their arrival accordingly as we cannot accommodate pickups outside of this time frame. Since they haven’t arrived yet, they are available exclusively through Ruff Start’s Foster to Adopt (FTA) Program. Click here to learn more about the FTA program. Once they get to Minnesota, they might require further veterinary care. Ruff Start’s veterinary suite is located in Princeton, MN, and, as the foster, you will be required to transport your dog to and from these vetting appointments. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract. To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page. *Rescue puppies are notorious for losing their birth certificates before entering our rescue. We cannot guarantee the breed or size they will be full grown.* If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.
