We always joke how
dog rescue is similar to the dating scene.
Browsing Petfinder photos is like online dating. Going to a large adoption event with several dogs
can be like speed dating. But sometimes just getting out there will get you noticed and lead to your perfect match. And this is what happened with our Bella:
Just like dating, we tried to get Bella out and about as much as possible so she could meet potential suitors. And much like some people get all 'dolled up' to get noticed, Miss M loaned Bella one of her special occasion collars,
from Pecan Pie Puppies, so she could get some extra attention. And it worked.
One of Miss M's 'human boyfriends' that we often see on walks was completely struck by Bella when he first met her. And after we came by a couple of times, he knew he had met his match. We knew how much Bella loves men because she was always trying to wrap herself around E's legs:
So we were excited that she was going to have a male owner. But she really struck the jackpot because now she gets to live with 3 guys. When she went to their house she didn't even look back, and they've already been going on tons of walks and to neighborhood street festivals.
The crazy thing is, she started out
like this and was set to be euthanized; she didn't even have a chance. But thanks to
Heather and
the support of the online community and
Project Rescue sweet Bella really does get to live happily ever after!

Hooray!
What fantastic news!! Congratulations to you, Bella and, most importantly, her new family!
Thank you so much for dedicating so much of your time and energy to save this sweet, funny little dog. If not for you, she wouldn't be having the time of her life in her new home.

Yea for Bella! This is awesome!
She's one lucky girl! I can't wait to hear more updates on her!
Good job you four (Miss M and Mr B included!) for helping her find her forever home!
Bella needs her own Pecan Pie collar! :) I'm so happy that Bella found her perfect home! Shy must be so happy to know that her legacy has lived on in such a wonderful way. It sounds like Bella has found the perfect, perfect place for her!
We are so pleased for Bella ad hope all goes well for her.
It just feels great when you find a good home for a dog who would not have had a chance.

SUCH a great ending! Yeah for Bella! :)
YAY, BELLA!!!!!! And thank you A, E, Miss M., and Mr. B. for your tireless efforts to get Bella a wonderful new home with not one but three handsome fellas to call her own!
Woohoo!! Congrats to Bella and her new family!!!
But, this really couldn't have happened without the help of the online community, Heather, and Project Rescue. We were just the 'dating coordinators'. And we'll keep everyone updated as we do see her new Dad often. Thanks everyone!
Three guys? Bella is a lucky lady, indeed! I am SO happy that she has found a happy ending after everything she has been through. Hopefully you guys will get to see her from time to time in the neighborhood too. Even though she's going to a great home, I'm sure it's not easy to say goodbye. Thanks again for everything you did for her. You rock!
What a wonderful post! I am so very much happy for Miss Bella and her new family. They sound PERFECT for her!! The four of you are wonderful to help her on her way!

PeePeeS: Got some of the tourist photos, still have a few more to do. Getting there though :)
Oh, such a lovely post! It must be great that you know she's gone to such a good home. Perhaps you will still see her around?
Congratulations!

That's such fabulous news. Kudos to you guys for leading her to her happily ever after life.
Great news about Bella! Nice work you guys - another awesome pup saved. And, since she's staying in the neighborhood you'll get to keep in touch with her.
So happy to hear that Bella was adopted!! She is the cutest dog. Hope she's settling in with her new family and will be very happy for many years to come.
Congratulations to beautiful Bella! You did such a wonderful job with her and I am so glad she has found the perfect home after all your hard work. Just awesome.
Your reference to dating reminds me of a feature I saw on the news about a shelter in Florida holding speed-dating events for dogs. With wine and cheese, the shelter would entice potential adopters to attend and meet their future companions. I thought it was such a creative idea.
Awesome post. Love the snap of the snow cone
