About Bella (American Bulldog) in Normal, IL 61761

Bella is waiting for you at Wish Bone Canine Rescue in Normal, IL 61761. Meet Bella, an 8-year-old American Bully with a heart as big as her adorable, squishy smile. At 75 pounds, Bella is carrying a few extra pounds right now, but she’s already embracing a healthier lifestyle with daily walks and a little portion control. She’s ready to find a family who will cheer her on as she continues her wellness journey. Bella’s favorite place to be is wherever her people are. She’s the kind of loyal companion who will quietly lay nearby while you work from home, keep you company during a movie night, or happily tag along for a car ride. She loves walks, time in the yard, toys, and settling in with a good chew bone. At bedtime, she’s happiest curled up close and sleeping with her foster mom. This sweet girl has a gentle, sensitive soul. New people and unfamiliar sights or sounds can make her a little nervous at first. A crinkly bag, a strange object, or an unexpected noise might give her pause, but Bella is already becoming more confident each day in her foster home. With patience, kindness, and reassurance, she blossoms into a loving and trusting companion. Bella is house-trained and has wonderful manners in the home. Her foster mom does not use a crate, and when left alone, she relaxes quietly in a gated area without bothering any belongings. While Bella has not been introduced to other dogs in her foster home yet, she has shown calm curiosity toward dogs she sees on walks. We were told she has done well with children in the past, though she has not yet been around children while in our care. Bella isn’t looking for a life full of chaos or excitement. She’s looking for a soft place to land, a gentle hand to reassure her, and someone who will appreciate the quiet companionship of a dog who simply wants to love and be loved. If you’re searching for a sweet, loyal shadow to share your days with, Bella just might be your perfect match. Her minimum adoption fee is $200 pl
