Meet Bella The Boxer!

Bella is an 9-year-old Boxer who once had everything.

**She was a loyal protector.****The center of her family’s universe.**The dog who watched over her people and loved them with her whole heart.

And then… something happened.

In her senior years, when she needed comfort and stability the most, Bella was left behind at a shelter—confused, grieving, and wondering how she went from being someone’s whole world to being forgotten.

**Bella wants to be noticed again.****She wants to be chosen.**She wants someone to take care of her for a change.

She’s not asking for much—just a quiet retirement home, patience, and space to heal. Bella needs time to trust again, but once she does, her love is deep and meaningful. She would do best as the only dog in the home, and likely no cats. Older, respectful children are welcome—kids who understand that Bella’s heart has been through a lot.

**She doesn’t need chaos or constant activity.****She needs kindness.****She needs consistency.**She needs someone who sees her worth—even now.

**Bella spent her life protecting others.**Now it’s her turn to be protected. 🤍

Bella's adoption donation is $100. Hoof and Paw is assisting an overcrowded rescue which is where Bella has come from. Don't let her rough exterior fool you, she is an amazing individual. She knows commands, she listens well, as long as you don't fall for her shenanigans.
