Meet Belle!
 
Belle is a beautiful 26 pound, 1 years old Miniature Australian Shepherd.  She comes from a backyard breeder and has spent most of her life in a crate in barn. Aside from her beginnings, she LOVES adventures!!! She has been practicing her manners going out on hikes, brunches and dog parks. Belle loves to wrestle with her foster siblings, string cheese and walks. She has learned to run and pounce into crate for breakfast and dinner. 
 
Belle is also potty trained, has free range of the house and loves to snuggle next to you on the couch while getting belly rubs. 
 
The perfect home for Belle would be someone who is an experienced dog parent with hearing dog experience, patient and is willing to continue to work and build her confidence. Belle has exhibited minor separation anxiety in her foster home (barking when leaving), so the ideal family would either live in a home or an apartment where you are home more often than not.
