Bella von Benningen is a 9 month old black German Shepherd rescued from a family that originally bought her from a breeder and did not think of the responsibilities involved in having a family pet.  Through no fault of her own, Bella was given to rescue.  Since she was a puppy, Bella was in a home with kids of all ages, cats, and around other dogs quite a bit.  Bella loves the presence of children and loves to join in the fun if they are playing in the yard. She is also gentle and loving with small babies.  What really stands out about Bella is her unique connection with cats, she loves cats and kitties of all ages and immediately gravitates towards them when they are around.  Her original home had small kittens in it, Bella sought comfort in her kitties and they became best of friends.  Bella is a very playful doggie and enjoys gently rough-housing or playing a fun game of chase with her favorite doggy pals.  Bella is housebroken, wonderful on a leash, rides well in the car, and is crate trained.  This little girl is one sensitive girl who easily bonds with her human, she is a wonderful family pet who will add an element of fun, love, and sweetness to the household.  She is a truly special soul.
