Mark this moment- the serendipity of having seen this post on this day. Years from now, both you and I will remember this moment as one that changed our lives for the better... or maybe even saved them. My name is Bella and I believe in the power of a dog's love. And if any dog has a heart that can move mountains, it's me. My love is precious, not something to be taken for granted. It's something you have to earn- have a little patience, show me some gentleness and respect, and once I know I can trust you, I will be absolutely devoted to you. When I find my person, I'm so relieved to be able to trust someone that I want to be as close to them as I can- I lean in beside them and melt into their arms. I want to fall asleep with my head on their chest and know I'm safe. And when I wake up, I want to play! I love the great outdoors, running around with my friends, playing ball and just reveling in the unbridled joy dog life can bring. The other thing is, even when I know you, I'm kind of sensitive about being handled and restrained when I don't know what's going on. It can make vetting a little tough, but as long as you're prepared and know where my boundaries are, we're all good. I've waited here long enough to be chosen- to meet the person who will be my whole world. And I'll remember this day forever- the day you found me.
