I got a call from the vet SFLR uses at 10 am on Saturday, she was in tears and in her words was having a “moral dilemma “ a family brought in their dog of 10 years cause they “ could no longer care for her” to be euthanized! They scheduled the appointment for 2:00 that Saturday, they dropped her off at 9:00 and left ! After spending some time with the dog and going over her records they vet saw that she was perfectly healthy a little over weight but sweet and playful and still a lot of life left for her! So after hearing this I said “ on my way” and I went and picked her up and at 2:00 when she was supposed to be out down she got her freedom frys from Mark!!! After posting her pictures and story on Facebook to try to raise some funds for her medical expenses, the wife of an AR member saw her and fell in love !! This family also adopted Rocky from Mark a year ago when he first got sick and went to the hospital! So of course they are an amazing family and Bella would be a spoiled princess like she deserves!! So now Bella is in Georgia with me and we have to get her to PA…    So can this 16ibs lump of fluffy and love catch a ride ?? xxfonziexx is the forever family in waiting , hoping to catch a ride Saturday the 13th |

Thank you! The round trip from PA to GA and back would be a long drive, but if we can get a little transport help we'll definitely give that little girl a great home. Even if we can get her part of the way up the east coast, we don't mind a solid day of driving to get her from as far north as we can move her. If anybody can help move Bella North, we'll give her a great home and she'll be very spoiled and loved for the rest of her life. She'll also be joining two other Semper Fi rescues here. I got Sabrina from Mark a few years ago (and drove out to KY to get her from him). Like Jordan mentioned, I also made the drive back out to KY last year when Mark got sick and brought Rocky home with me. I work from home most days, and the two of them can almost always be found sleeping on my feet under my desk. Sabrina is on the right and Rocky is on the left in this picture: Attached File Bella is going to be in good company here. |

It's been about two and half months since Bella came to her new home, and I thought it was a good time for an update on her and another "THANK YOU" to everyone that helped to get her here. Bella settled in quickly and is doing great. She was immediately placed on a diet when she got here, and has been steadily losing weight over the past two months. She was the fattest little rescue dog I've ever seen! She's under 14 pounds now, and is moving around great. She bounces all happy now, especially near meal times, and likes to play. She's still really mellow, but the diet and exercise has made her a lot more perky than when she first came home. She's had numerous baths and almost daily brushing, and her coat is looking great. She's so FLUFFY now! She's doing absolutely great here, and she's a very spoiled little princess. She's living a great life now, and I'm really grateful to all of you who helped save her.
