Today is the day Belle tastes true freedom for the first time since being abamndoned in the woods of Canada as a puppy. She spent three years in a shelter where she was obedience trained, well cared for and loved. She has spent the past 5 months in my care as a foster dog in hopes of finding her a forever home outside of rescue.
A wonderful man who has loved and owned working breed dogs his whole life has adopted Belle! He was sent to me originally to look at a French Bulldog I am fostering. He was not sure, he could downsize quite that much once he researched the breed. I asked him to come and visit anyway, because I had a dog that I thought would better suit him. When Kirk met Belle, it was love at first sight!!! There was no question of chemistry, it was a beautiful thing to witness! Belle, who does not jump up, leaped on him and showered him with kisses as if he was a long lost friend. It was really something. He spent a few hours with her and decided she was perfect for his lifestyle. We completed the necessary steps for the adoption and Belle went to her forever home today!
I wish them many years of happy companionship!
