This is Bella 🐕 A gorgeous lurcher who is in need of a loving home. She’s two years old and has spent all of her life in kennels. This is her story.

When she was first taken in, RSPCA staff feared that Bella would never find a home after she was frightened of other dogs, and suffered from loneliness and anxiety🥺
Bella loves people and sleeps with her cuddly toys at night to keep her warm🧸 
Hannah Hawkins, RSPCA behaviour and welfare advisor at the Ashley Heath Animal Centre in Ringwood, said: ‘Although we try to spend as much time with her as possible, we simply can’t be with her all the time.’
Bella was brought to the RSPCA centre after another charity struggled to cope with her behaviour and her struggles with her anxiety.
After months of intensive behavioural work, Bella is doing a lot better and has even made some pooch pals at the centre 🐶
An RSPCA spokesperson said staff believe she’s being ‘misunderstood’ by adopters.
In the early part of her life, Bella suffered from a lack of socialisation in her early years, and hence she can be reactive around dogs she is not familiar with.
Bella is a friendly pupper, who enjoys lots of fuss, attention and running about off her lead.
Her prospective owner would ideally have a large, enclosed garden and will be happy to spend time with her as she gets used to her new surroundings 🌳
