Truckee-Tahoe – Pet of the Week: Belle
Looking for a loyal, snuggly, and spirited companion? Let us introduce you to Belle, a brave beauty with a heart full of love. Belle is the definition of a sweetheart with a gentle soul and a heart that’s ready to love big. Belle is the kind of dog who wants to be right where you are, whether you’re out for a short walk, enjoying a romp in the backyard, or settling in for a quiet evening on the couch.
She’s playful and affectionate without being overly rambunctious, and while she’s not the biggest fan of toys, Belle absolutely loves the outdoors. Exploring the world with her is a joy, and she gets along beautifully with other dogs, making her a wonderful addition to many types of homes. Wherever Belle goes, she brings calm, happy energy—and lots of tail wags.
A Special Note About Belle’s Ears: Belle has faced some tough times with resilience and grace. She underwent Total Ear Canal Ablation (TECA) in both ears to treat painful, chronic infections that no longer responded to medication. The surgery removed her ear canals, dramatically improving her comfort and quality of life.
While TECA can reduce hearing—similar to wearing earplugs—it rarely causes full deafness, especially since dogs like Belle often have limited hearing already. What matters most: Belle is now pain-free, thriving, and loving life.
She may not hear everything, but she sure knows how to feel the love and give it right back. If you’re ready to welcome a brave, affectionate, and joyful companion into your life, Belle is waiting to meet you. Belle is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. If you are interested in meeting this gentle soul or learning more about her, please reach out to one of HSTT’s Adoption Specialists at, 530-587-5948 or adoptions@hstt.org.
