Hi there... my name is Natasha, but all of my friends call me Bella. I am a beautiful chocolate lab mix who is affectionate, loyal, family & dog friendly, potty trained and such a Momma's girl. I enjoy long walks, playing with other dogs, with people and with my toys. There is nothing better than getting quality pets/chest rubs from my family and just being with them though.

I am cautious when meeting new people, especially men, but I soon warm up to them especially if they smell like doggy people. 

When AARF Houston took me in, I had just had puppies; the rescue and fosters have been great to me and have helped find terrific homes for my precious babies; now it is my turn to meet my furever family! I will be a true companion to the lucky person or family who brings me home.


Please contact  app@aarfhouston.org  for more information about this dog. You can apply online by clicking on Application . Once your application is approved, we will schedule a meet and greet at one of our adoption events. Thank you for considering a rescue!

The adoption fee includes vaccinations, Bordetella, de-worming, rabies, spay/neuter and microchip. There is a an additional $12.99 fee for Home Again for a lifetime registration of the microchip.

Puppies cannot be adopted outside of the Houston area until they are spay/neutered after they are 4 months old.

It is against the law in the State of Texas for a rescue not to be sterilized so we have to make sure it gets completed and that we have record of it.

NOTE: In our bios, we provide information based on our volunteer's experience with a particular dog; such as temperament, training, and ability to get along with others.

AARF is a 501(c)3 Non Profit, all breed, no kill organization. Our group is always in need of donations in order to continue to give the needed medical care to our rescues. Adoption fees do not begin to cover all of the medical costs. Any donation , no matter how small is a big help and is greatly appreciated. Please help us to continue to help them. Thank you.
