Baby Bella rehomed July 2012

15 July 2012
Bella is no more than 18 months old.
A boarding customer of the pound she has now been signed over as his wife has left him and poor Bella is shut in the house for 9 hours a day.
She is blind in one eye, and deaf in the ear on the same side.
She is sweet, friendly and loves other dogs.
She is strong on the lead, loves cuddles and has a lovely nature.
She is a really sweet, sweet girl
I’m not usually one for taking dogs from pounds as there is often no history to them and it is difficult to say how they would react to cats. I can cope with dogs not getting along but two of my cats are disabled ... Treacle cannot run away if set upon by a dog as she has deformed back legs, mind you she’s a feisty little madam who would think nothing twice about wielding pre-sharpened claws in defence and then there is Finn who is as deaf as a post and therefore doesn’t hear anything coming at him.
Anyway, as Bella had been signed over to the pound by the owner after being a boarder there was some info on her and she was reported as cat friendly I could not turn my back on her.
Some very special people agreed to do the transport run to move Bella to Huddersfield from Wisbech (I had to look that one up ... apparently it is between Kings Lynn and Peterborough).
Now they say timing is everything but it can also be a huge pain in the rear. Bella was arriving on Thursday night but I was doing a sleepover respite session and would not be home until Friday morning. No real worries there as hubbie was at home but this was also the Friday that we were going to Scotland for a few days holiday and to do some house hunting so poor Bella had a long car journey with lots of different people, was then deposited with a new pack and another new person and I turn up the following morning only for us all to be gone later that morning and everyone to be left in the capable hands of our brilliant dog sitter.
Bella took it all in her stride; I suppose being in and out of the kennels she was quite used to changes. The dog sitter said she was a dream which was to prove to be just the case when we got home. She was house-trained and slept all night on the dog bed under my desk without a peep. She craved affection but just didn’t know, or have the confidence to seek it out but once invited she was the proverbial puppy, wriggling on her back to have her tummy rubbed or climbing on your knee for a cuddle.

I knew just the people I wanted to meet her.
Stu and Emma had adopted the two deaf/blind boys from the ‘J’ pup trio earlier this year but unfortunately they had lost Ollie due to brain condition shortly afterwards. Now they had said that they were interested in getting a companion for Milo so I posted pics of Bella on facebook and sent them a message.
Just 16 days after the posting for rescue back-up Emma and Stu came to meet her with Milo. I must say it was FAB to have cuddles with him again but I’m not sure what they are feeding him on as he is huge. Milo and Bella hit it off from the start and by the end of the visit she was laying draped across his back at Emma’s feet so she was off to her new home and now has a new posh name ... Isabella (Izzy for short)
