PET OF THE WEEK

Meet Bella. Bella is a 3-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer mix. She’s a confident girl who knows what she wants—and it’s usually lots of kisses and belly rubs. She walks well on a leash and is a good fit for a home with no dogs or more submissive dogs. (I guess you could say her nickname is Queen B, but don’t tell Beyoncé that.) Learn how you can adopt Queen Bella here.
