Bella had been impounded by a Montgomery Co Sheriff's Deputy after he responded to a call of "shots fired" at a home well known for gang and drug activity. Bella was found lying in some bushes, not far from another dog that had been deceased for a few days. She was very frail and way too weak to even stand on her own, with so many fleas that it looked like someone had sprinkled black pepper on her white coat of fur. Inside her ears were literally hundreds of ticks, which would later take our staff close to a week to fully remove. Bella very anemic due to the fleas and ticks and close to suffering heat stroke due to the extremely high temperatures of the past few days. 

The deputy placed Bella into his patrol car and headed towards the "new" place in Tarrytown that rescues dogs in hopes that they could save her life. 

 

Over the next couple of months, Scott Bennett personally tended to Bella, nursing her back to full health. During her stay at SoCo Rescue, Bella has proven to being not only very affectionate, people friendly and playful, but also very smart as she will typically respond well to certain commands. She's obviously had some house training and is also pee pad trained. While she came from a home with other dogs, Bella has not responded well towards the other dogs here that she has came into contact with, so it may be best to limit her to a home without other pets until we have a better understanding of her personality towards other dogs. 

 

Bella has now received an update on her annual vaccinations, de-wormings and started on her monthly flea/tick and heart worm preventatives.  On Sept 10, 2024 she was spayed & tested negative for Heartworm.
