A Rottweiler cross currently in the care of Dogs Trust Glasgow is hoping to find a home this year.

Bella was handed to the Glasgow rehoming centre in May 2022 where staff described her as a worried girl who lacked confidence.

The expert training team at Dogs Trust Glasgow worked on slowly building a bond with Bella to gain her trust and help her with her worries and fears.

Claire Cairney, assistant manager administration at Dogs Trust Glasgow said: "Bella has been on a journey while she has been with us and thanks to the hard work and dedication of our training team and canine carers, she has changed in front of our eyes.

Having a dedicated secure space within her future home, separate from visitors, would be beneficial for her.

Bella would also need to be the only pet in the household.
