Bella came to us via the collaboration of several TOESR volunteers. Kerry Kruk met Bella's owner, who needed to re-home Bella, in the Tidewater area of VA and made the trek down to Winston-Salem and Muttley Manor to deliver Bella. Sue Dean met us at Muttley Manor and took her home to be fostered until we could find her a home. Of course, Sue's two OES's Ruthie and Molly were instrumental in their help in showing Bella the ropes so we thank them both for their help, LOL.

It didn't take long to make the new home decision. We already had the perfect 'preapproved' home for Bella and all that was left to make the adoption a 'done deal' was having Noelle and her family meet Bella with their other dog to make sure they'd get along. The meeting went perfectly and reports are that Bella had bonded with her new family as if she'd always been there! Those kind of reports, we love to hear.

Thanks to Noelle and her family for giving Bella a great home and we expect we'll be seeing them at the picnic in September!
