IN NEED OF LOCAL FOSTER OR ADOPTER / AVAILABLE FOR FOSTER TO ADOPT Meet Belle! More pictures and video below or to come! https://youtu.be/5Y2rBJLQf4Q Belle is 3 years old, female (approx. DOB tbd), 39 lbs., vetted, is or will be spayed and micro-chipped. Belle is a dog-friendly pocket-pitty, and her personality is as cute as she is! She is bubbly, happy, and playful! Butterbelle has been a great dog; she was used as a shelter helper dog and is a staple in playgroups with no behavioral concerns. She loves her toys and is a submissive player with others (as you can see in her video). Belle became at risk because of the length of stay. Originally, she came in as a cruelty case with several other dogs in NC. She was stable upon intake, but the others (mainly puppies) were emaciated and in medical need immediately, and were rescued. Even though Belle has been mistreated, you would never know by how happy she is! If you are interested in adopting Belle, please fill out an Application at www.Passion-4-Paws.org (please make sure you have the Vermont site, not CT) - thanks! Please note, Fosters have 1st option for Adoption. Check out her Facebook Profile and like us while you are there! Disclosure: Breed labels are often incorrect: we rarely know the genetic lineage of the dogs we rescue. Many shelters and rescues specify breeds based on appearance; however, research has shown that less than 2% of a dog’s DNA determines appearance! Passion 4 Paws does not practice the use of labels pertaining to compatibility with others or dog breed. Labels such as “dog friendly” and “child friendly” should be used with caution as they often over-simplify the personalities and behavior of dogs.
