Every fairytale ballroom has one unforgettable guest, and Belle is ready to make her grand entrance! Belle may not burst into the party like a social butterfly on day one. New people, unfamiliar sounds and busy environments can make this sensitive sweetheart a little cautious at first. She prefers a slower introduction to the world, taking careful little steps as she learns that she is safe. But once Belle begins to trust you, her true personality sparkles brighter than a ballroom chandelier.
Once comfortable you will see what a loving dog who absolutely adores attention from her people Belle is. She melts into pets and happily soaks up all the affection you can give her. Watching Belle gain confidence is a little like watching a princess finally realizing the castle is full of people cheering her on.
If your home has room for a sweet soul, a little whimsy and a dog who would absolutely look perfect as the star of her own royal portrait, Belle may just be your happily ever after! Come by the shelter and meet her today.
