According to her foster mom, Bella wanted to write her own bio, so here it is: (looks like she likes to write!)
I am a stunning 12 month old German Shepherd with elongated features which give me a regal and elegant look. Don't let that fool you though, I love to play! My long legs allow me to run fast which is what I need when I am chasing my ball or my most favorite thing: my frisbee! I am still learning how to interact with other dogs - I'm a little shy around them but I am not agressive ever - small dogs are great fun though. I think I would warm up to any dog really and that dog could teach me all kinds of other dog-stuff! Do you have a doggie playmate for me? My foster mom is taking good care of me but I really want a home that has a yard so I can romp and play anytime - I have a lot of energy. Sometimes she and I go walking for 2 hours or we go for a run for a few miles... I love it all. My foster mom thinks I would enjoy hiking too but I haven't tried it yet. I'm pretty smart: I have learned sit, stay, paw, lie-down, potty (that's when you pee on the grass and not in the house - who knew?), and I am starting to get the hang of Heel too. Just for fun, we are working on 'spin' as well. Mom says I'm 'willful.'One of my most favorite things to do is to ride in the car. It doesn't really matter what kind of car or where we go - it's just good clean fun for me! I love my foster mom and I protect her when she is home - I show off my big bark at strangers that walk by. My foster mom cools me out by telling me that everything is Ok and I go back to playing with her then. I miss her when she is at work but I am starting to understand that she will come back to play with me so I usually just play with my toys while she is gone. I share my quarters with this wonderful toy called a 'cat' and I keep on trying to chase it like my frisbee but it's smart and can get away from me - darn. I will just keep trying... it doesn't seem to like me much.I am a happy girl and I am getting more confident every day. I hope to meet you soon so I can be in my forever home and love you forever!!! Will you be my forever family? Love always, Bella von Berlin
