My story

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

Hi, I’m Bella, and my journey has been quite a ride.

In July 2022, I was found in pretty rough shape—neglected, abused, and beaten. Thanks to the incredible response from EARS and my foster home, I started to heal and even thought I’d found my forever home shortly after. Unfortunately, after I was adopted, I was moved from place to place and ended up abandoned, injured and in need of rescue once again. Mid-April 2024, I was saved by EARS and returned to a foster home. With the love and care I’ve received, I’m making great strides in my physical and mental health.

Under the gentle care of my current temporary foster, I’ve blossomed into a vibrant and playful 2 year-old pup. At a lean 65 pounds, I’m energetic and love long walks and runs. I’m starting to show my true colours, engaging warmly with my foster family and displaying a strong sense of loyalty. While I may still be hesitant around new people, especially the veterinary staff, I’m slowly gaining confidence and learning to trust.
Unfortunately my time with my temporary foster family came to an end and I find myself at a boarding kennel.

I’m now looking for a foster or foster-to-adopt family who can offer a nurturing environment where I can acclimate to new experiences and people at my own pace. If you have a loving home and the patience to help me continue my transformation, I’d love to meet you and show you just how special I can be.
