Bella is a 4-year-old dog who never knew what a home meant. No one knew why, but she spent her entire life in a small concrete cage in a public pound in Romania. For years, she slept in the cold cemented floor of her den, waiting for the time when she’d finally be free.
It took a while, but Bella’s wish finally came true. Howl of a Dog learned about her horrific state, so they quickly pulled her out of the pound, and took her to safety. The rescue promised to provide Bella the life she never experienced but truly deserved.
On the day Bella left the pound, the rescuers quickly noticed how trusting she was. She seemed to know that her life was about to change. She felt relieved to finally be saved and immediately fell asleep on the lap of her rescuer.
Arriving at the veterinary clinic, Bella received urgent medical care. The vets drew her blood to get more information about her health. Additionally, she had medicated baths to help soothe her itchy skin.
Under the care of her rescue friends, Bella started to feel better. She’s still a little skittish and shy at times, but she’s slowly coming out of her shell. She has very little interest in toys because she never played with one before. But it’s only a matter of time before she picks one out of the pet store.
Bella was underweight at the time of her rescue. But today, she’s a healthy, happy pup. She looks like a Border Collie mix, but her tail is a tad shorter. The rescuers have no clue whether someone docked it or she had it since birth.
Bella is a sweet and gentle girl. She’s friendly with people and gets along great with other dogs. With her loving personality, she will surely be a perfect addition to any family who decides to open their hearts and home to her.
