We picked up Bella (aka Brandy) from the pound yesterday. She has been a resident there since June. She was picked up as a stray in the Town of Rodman and nobody claimed her. Every time we visited this sweet dog she was always in the front of her cage wagging her tail and eager to please. Unfortunately for Bella she had two growths on her thighs that caused people to overlook her outstanding personality and focus on her flaw. She was taken to the Farmer's market several times but couldn't seem to find her new family. Bella is laid back and calm inside. She loves to lie down and put her nose up to your face and then rest her head on your arm.
She is quiet, reserved and housebroken. She is afraid of stairs and cowers if you move to quickly near her. She will come to when you call her but will either sink to the ground or try to slither away ducking close to the ground when you reach for her collar. We will be working on those issues. At the moment though she appears to need a little TLC, quiet time and space to regroup. We will be calling tomorrow to arrange her vet appointment and to have her growths evaluated. If anyone is interested in sponsoring her medical needs so that we can keep her adoption fee reasonable let us know.
Her bail was posted by Dr. Melissa Rice. We were very much relieved as Bella had been in the pound for over three months. The staff at our local pound is outstanding. But it is a long time for a dog to be kept in confinement. We are grateful and appreciative though of the love and care the dogs receive during their stay. Check back and watch how Bella blossoms in the next few weeks.
