05/21/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: What’s black and white and as sweet as can be? Bella! Her former owners report that she previously lived with two toddlers and was extremely tolerant of them, even if they pulled her ears or tail. She got along very well with the other dog she lived with and has been polite and respectful in doggie playgroup at the shelter. Sometimes she seems to have a sadness about her, but she seems very comforted by human company. She walks beautifully on leash and will rest her head on my knee when I sit down to pet her. In fact, she is so mild mannered she has frequently been used to train volunteer applicants (all of which are immediately smitten!). Upon returning her to her cage, Bella props her paws up on the door, softly wags her tail, licks my hand, and curls up on her bed. A gal this good only comes along once in a while, please come see for yourself what makes Bella so special!
