This is Bella - She Needs a Home

Want to provide a pet a loving home? Here's how.

Each weekend, Patch will present a cat and a dog available for adoption through the Animal Care League.

Cats get Saturday, dogs get Sunday.

This is Bella. She's a 6-year-old Jack Russell Terrier mix. She was returned to ACL when her family found they didn't have enough time to care for her properly. We've found her to be a mellow, relaxed senior gal who loves attention from our volunteers, walks in the neighborhood, and other dogs with a similar attitude to hers. However, she does act aggressively around some men because she is afraid of them. Her new family would need to be committed to modifying this behavior.

Find out what's happening in Oak Park-River Forestwith free, real-time updates from Patch.

You can meet Bella and all her friends at the ACL's office, 1011 Garfield St. For hours, call 708-848-8155.
