Meet Bella
Bella loves people. She is active in the community volunteering as part of an animal therapy team for hospice, visiting schools and other community events where she brings joy and comfort.
She is a Registered Therapy Dog, Certified Crisis Response Dog and Canine Good Citizen, as chosen by the American Kennel Club.
Bella’s owner, Bob Brandkamp, like many of Avista’s employees, enjoys being able to volunteer in the community. Avista encourages volunteerism, matching employee cash donations up to $200 and supporting an average of 40,000 hours they contribute each year in the communities where they live and work.
