Bella / Lou

About Bella / Lou

Meet Bella (9) and Lou (8), two spotted sweethearts who love adventure! This charming Dalmatian pair has spent their whole lives together and are looking for a forever family ready to welcome both of them—because where you find one, the other is never far behind.

Lou is the fun-loving, high-energy half of the duo. At 64 lbs, he's happiest running beside an electric scooter, chasing a ball, or showing off his signature Dalmatian enthusiasm. Lou's also a talker—you'll never have to wonder what's on his mind, because he'll tell you!

Bella, on the other hand, is the confident queen and oh-so sassy! At 76 lbs, she knows what she wants, and she's not afraid to "discuss" it with you. Though she still enjoys playtime and walks, she's more about the cozy life these days—lounging close to her people and getting plenty of love. She's also managing a history of kidney stones, so she drinks lots of water and needs frequent potty breaks (and quick access to her throne—er, backyard).

Bella and Lou adjusted well to their foster home with a family who was patient and gentle with them. They are house-trained and crate-trained, but can be trusted to free-roam at home. They will need a home without shared walls (no apartments/townhomes) due to their noise level.

These Dalmatians need exercise—and A LOT of it! They love to run and play catch as long as you'll let them. They will require a fenced yard in their future home to meet their energy level. A fence taller than 4-ft is recommended due to safety concerns.

They do well with other dogs and young kids but will need proper introductions when making friends. Lou tends to be protective of his bestie and they should also be supervised due to their larger size. Bella and Lou cannot live with cats.

Together, these two are pure joy. Lou brings the energy; Bella brings the sass—and both bring endless love. If you're ready to double the spots and double the love, Bella and Lou are ready to meet you.

However, we will consider up to 250 miles if the foster agrees to travel requirements and staff approval.
