Grins and snuggles have perpetually been Bella’s signature traits! This adorable bundle of joy was merely a sociable, exuberant shelter canine until fate took a surprising twist.
Rather than discovering her everlasting home in a flash, Bella was condemned to over 100 days of anticipation for adoption!
All those interminable nights and days in a confined space became her most dreadful ordeal, as she was swiftly tagged as the dog that no one desired. And, for the spirited Bella – that tag was the last thing she ever anticipated…
Bella’s Story
This 3-year-old lady was relinquished to the Humane Society of Broward County, located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, by her owner who was compelled to relinquish her because his landlord prohibited Bulldog breeds.
Despite the heart-wrenching goodbye with the individual she cherished most, Bella maintained her unique character. She has consistently been the most lovable cuddle bug, eager to welcome everyone who offers her a modicum of affection.
“All of the staff and volunteers adore her,” remarked the HSBC team on their TikTok profile.
However, months rolled by, and circumstances swiftly deteriorated for this beauty. Contrary to expectations of finding a home promptly (as she was simply that type of dog), Bella remained “behind bars” for over 100 days.
“She’s Beginning To Fade Away”
It took precisely 130 days for Bella to reach her lowest point. She gradually began to fade away, and soon, her well-known enthusiasm diminished.
Instead of her usual, wide grin and the cutest tail wagging around her caregivers, Bella began to exhibit signs of despondency. She was merely sprawled on the floor with an empty gaze, showing no interest in any form of engagement.
“She’s starting to shut down… We’re unclear why adopters have overlooked her, because Bella is truly amazing” the HSBC team expressed.
The HSBC team recognized that drastic measures were needed to secure Bella a new home – so they devised a plan!
Without delay, they composed a notice detailing Bella’s challenging predicament and affixed it to her kennel.
“I strive to keep my spirits elevated, but after 130 days in this solitary cage, I’m beginning to wonder if anyone will ever choose me. I’m bewildered. I’m house trained, well-mannered, enjoy fetch, love the kiddie pool, and I’m fond of both little children and adults,” the document stated.
Journeying To A Forever Home After 4 Months
The genuine miracle was that in under 24 hours, Bella secured a new mommy!
A lady from Delray Beach, Florida, discovered the video and immediately drove to the shelter, eager to be the first in line to adopt this adorable girl… and it came to fruition!
Bella and her new mother instantly fell in love with each other! According to the shelter staff, Bella and her new caretaker share a perfectly aligned energy, which made it effortless for them to connect from the very first moment they met.
Before long, Bella was in the vehicle with her new favorite companion, excited to set off on a wonderful adventure – completely assured that from this point forward, life would be utterly pawfect!
