My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

PERSONALITY & BEHAVIORS
Bella Moon is very loving, affectionate, and friendly. She is looking for a home with at least a 5-foot fenced yard, as she loves the outdoors and prefers to spend most of her day outside (as long as she is not left on her own when no one is home). You can find her in a lawn chair when she needs a rest from playing in the yard (see her photo), checking out the world or napping.

She also adores going for walks and loves riding in the car. At this time, Bella is best suited for a home with no other dogs or young children, as she is still practicing interacting with new dogs and people. She has, however, learned a healthy respect for cats!

Highly intelligent and motivated to please, Bella learns very quickly and in just a week mastered Sit, Out, Wait (even when she's in the car), No, and Down (check out her video playing her favorite game of fetch-she even will bring the toy back to you! (Check out her video!) Although she is not crate-trained she does not need to be crated, as she doesn't bother any belongings and is potty trained.

Bella is already great with loose-leashing walking, and her foster mom says, "It's so relaxing walking with her.

Very curious and attentive, Bella will let you know when there is a stray chicken or bird threatening the well-being of the household.

An independent gal, she often entertains herself playing with her toys. And she is respectful of them and never tears any of them up. See her delight with a squeaky one: (Check out her video!)

Bella sleeps about 8.5 hours during the night and enjoys a nap for an hour or so daily.

HISTORY
Bella Moon was taken to a local shelter after her owner needed to move in with family, who did not want a dog.

HEALTH
Bella Moon is up-to-date on vaccinations and heartworm negative, and will be microchipped and spayed soon.

PHYSICAL

Bella Moon has a beautiful white coat that feels like a cotton ball. On her ears and here and there elsewhere are some apricot markings. She has one brown eye and one blue eye, and a fluffy tail.

Our goal is finding lifelong, loving homes for our animals, so we try to find the best match between animal and adopter. We can help advise you on which animals to meet based on your situation.

You can meet some of our animals at our weekend adoption events, or we can arrange for a meeting in the foster home. If it’s a good match, the foster parent will come to visit your home in person. This is to make sure your home is safe and secure for a new companion animal.

Note: IAR makes every effort to please our adopters, but our first concern must be for the animal’s welfare. We reserve the right to deny any application.

More about this rescue

IAR started with one woman's big dreams, a bigger heart, and a very distinctive purple pickup truck that helped her rescue countless of unwanted, abused, and homeless Triangle pets. Originally founded in 1994, IAR earned an official 501(c)(3) status in 1995. We are governed by a Board of Directors, managed by elected officers, and introduced IAR’s first paid position, General Manager, in June 2021. This role will assist with elevating our collective compassion to new heights and strengthening IAR’s impact as a whole.

Our mission is to rescue and provide safe and responsible care for homeless, abandoned, and abused animals. We shall strive to help all animals in need through our service programs. We will serve our communities through promotion of spay/neuter for all companion animals, and the education of children and adults in humane care, respect and responsibility for animals on this earth.
