Hi, my name is Bella!  I’m a 10 year old female Pit Bull mix.  I weigh 59 pounds and am super friendly and loving, but also very strong and active. I am still working on my manners, so I would do best with a family who is willing to work with me and help me become the best dog I can be. 

You can find out more about me and my friends at www.kingcounty.gov/adoptapet. Have you or someone you know adopted a pet from RASKC? Let us know. We’d love to tell your story.
