My personality

My story

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

Bella’s story is pretty common around these parts. She was always chained to a tree outside and of course not spayed and bred by any loose dog that came around. At 4 years old, she had already produced several litters of unknown parentage. She was chained and couldn’t get away from any old dog. As you can see at the end of the video, not much care was taken of her or her pups. Most probably succumbed to worms, parvo and just careless neglect. That would have been this litters fate too….except that Bella’s owner died. So she came into BMAR’s sight and that was the end of that mess. We are happy to say that all of Bella’s pups survived, vaccinated, fixed and adopted…the cycle ended with them. But not Bella…she is black and Black Dog Syndrome was against her. She is also not dog friendly…can you blame her? After 4 years chained to a tree and allowed any loose dog (there are many) to come by and fight with her, steal her meager food, and breed her? Wonder she survived at all. Bella has been here 5 years and is now 9 years old. Bella is people friendly and smart. She craves attention…just pitiful to think that this fine boxer has lived her life in rescue after being so badly neglected by the “normal” mentality around here for the her first 4 years. She has received more good will from complete strangers that have never even met her than she ever did from her owner. Al Turnauer saw Bella when she first came in and sent her boat loads of excellent food for her and her 6 puppies. Spent vet money on her and her little family getting them all fixed up. He’s out of state and never met Bella. More recently Catherine Marcucci saw her little chewed up hand me down house and sent her a spanking new Igloo complete with door which Bella loved instantly. Catherine is on the East Coast…she’s never met Bella either. Bella, like so many others here deserves better. It’s not that we don’t love her…we just think that she deserves a home and a person of her own before her end of days. She’s 9 years old…she’s a senior. So we are looking for a senior who has a lot of love to give a senior girl who needs to be the only dog in the home. We will get her there…and we need her fees sponsored to do it. We need $600 + a little vet fees to make it happen. AND we need to find the right person to send her to. Do you know someone that would give her a great home? We can’t have her starved or abused ever again or that would defeat us to see our beautiful sad girl mistreated one more time. You can help by donating to sponsor her fees and you can help by thinking about who to share this post to. Help us find Bella a real home.
