My name is Belle!

Belle came to live with us about 4years ago. She would have been 3 or4. I took her when acquaintances of mine were moving and couldn't take Belle with them. They had rescued her from a dumpster when she was just a few months old. Belle took to me more than my 3 children, and I became her person, though I wanted her and the kids to bond, they didn't as much as I would've thought. We are hardly ever home anymore, as the family has gotten older and busier with jobs and other activities. Belle spends a lot of time waiting on us to get home, a lot of that time she is in her kennel. My fence broke down last year and I haven't been able to get it repaired, and I can' let Belle outside on her own, and I want her to have more outside time as well as more walks and exercise. She likes people, but not so much cats. She has a very assertive bark when she sees cats and small dogs walk across our yard. I want her to find a home where people are around, and can interact with her throughout the day.
