Meet Belle – The Sweetest Little Shadow You’ll Ever Have Belle is a petite 7.5-year-old Border Collie with a stunning long coat, expressive ears, and a graceful tail that matches her elegant personality. Weighing in at just 33 pounds, she’s the perfect size for snuggles and companionship—though she’s so polite, she doesn’t even get on the furniture. She’s housebroken, crate trained, quiet as can be, and trustworthy in the home. Belle adores her people and bonds deeply with her family. She is good with all animals, dogs, cats, and farm animals, but she prefers that they respect her space. She can live with other animals with a savvy owner, but would also love to be your one-and-only. She is good with kids, but would prefer to live with older kids as chaos and unpredictability aren't really her thing. She’s incredibly loyal and loves nothing more than spending time near her humans. Whether she’s curled up next to you inside or darting across the yard in a joyful burst of zoomies, Belle brings a gentle joy to every moment. She’s an ideal adventure partner with excellent recall and trail manners, making her a fantastic hiking companion. When you're active, she’s happy to join the fun; when you’re busy, she’s just as content to relax and wait for you at home. Her energy is beautifully balanced: playful and lively when you want to move, calm and quiet when you need to rest. While she can be timid around new experiences, Belle is smart and sensitive, and she responds well to calm reassurance. She loves games, puzzles, frozen treats, and gentle grooming sessions—and she takes treats from your hand with the utmost care. If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate, loyal dog who loves both hiking trails and quiet nights at home, Belle might just be your perfect match. Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-serve basis. We strive to find the perfect home for each animal. Applications may take up to 48 hours to process.
