Meet Bella
Founder of Pups & I +your dogs new best friend
Hi, I’m Bella, and if you ask my friends, they’ll tell you I’m the “crazy dog lady”, a title that I’m not afraid to admit. Animals have always been my strongest love and passion in life, I’ve often felt like I connect with them even more deeply than I do with humans. There’s something so pure and honest about the way dogs love, and that connection was truly inspired by my first ever dog “Maddie” which is the core reason why I started Pups and I in 2020. She showed me the unconditional love, loyalty, joy that dogs bring to our lives. Her spirit will continue to inspire me everyday.
Having spent so much of my life surrounded by dogs, I knew I wanted to create a space where they would feel safe, loved, and truly at home, just like I would want for Maddie or any dog of my own. Whether it’s a wagging tail full of excitement or a shy pup needing extra reassurance, I cherish the opportunity to connect with each dog’s unique personality.
My goal is to provide a home away from home, a place where every dog is treated like family, with care, love, and comfort at the heart of everything we do. My business will forever represent those values, treating every dog as if their my own, paying attention to their individual needs and creating a welcoming environment where they thrive.Thank you for trusting me with your furbabies. They bring so much light into my life, and I promise to give them all the love and care they deserve. After all, I’m not just a “crazy dog lady”, I’m someone who’s dedicated her life to making dogs (and their humans) happy.
