Bella

Bella with Santa day one

This is before she adopted us….. my mom and I always went to the pound (about every weekend) to find a dog to give a forever home to and  then its coming up to Christmas (‎Thursday, ‎December ‎15, ‎2011) and so we say this is going to be the last time we look at dogs until after the holidays and well that’s the day she was in the last row (number 200) before we left and I say to my mom “ hey mom look at this cutie”  and my mom comes and sees her and well her sign said not available so we go and ask the adoption person and well it goes like this

“Hello can you please check when the dog from number 200 becomes available?”

“oh sure…….. *Typing* Well it shows that Dolly (the name the pound gave her) is available right now”

“oh well can we please see her ?

 

 <---This is the Slip on her little cell.

And she gives us the slip. The my mom and I see her and fall in love with her. So we have her put back and go and collect my grandma and head over and we go see her and ever since she adopted us she has changed our life for the better. From day one when we met her in the pound. She walks over to my mom who is in a chair and puts her big head on her leg and looks up at her (the please take me home look)  then she comes over to me who is sitting on the ground and SITS ON MY LAP!!!!! (no joke) but I guess that is one of the many things I love about her. 

 <Before we saw her we saw 2 other dogs who we thought would maybe be good for us.  The one was not interested in us at all and the other one tried to JUMP THE FENCE. So those were a big time No>

 Anyway on the way home to pick up my grandma I come up with the name Bella.  

 ****** The reason I picked this is because the name Belle means Beauty in French and she reminded me of Black Beauty being black and white.******* 

everyone  agreed and then that is how Bella got her name and her FOREVER HOME!!!!!!!!! 

Here are some pictures:

Intro

Hello.

My name is Cj and I have an American Blue Nose Pitbull named Bella. We are changing people's minds about her breed. She is a Rescue. We don’t know much about her past because we found her when she was a stray in the pound. We picked her up from the Orange County Animal Shelter. She was adopted 12/15/11 (she was only 8 Months). She loves meeting other people and dogs (even though she will get in a play bow) she will try to lick you to death, She was very thin at first but now she is a healthy 63 Pounds (which feels a lot heaver when she is laying on you) She loves certain toys (mostly the ones with a lot of squeakers in them so she can rip them out). We think she was abused as a puppy. She likes her vet until they take her to the back where she can’t see us. She is afraid of Cats, Bananas and marshmallows. We are trying to get her to be a therapy dog (but we don’t have the money to keep her in the classes she needs). We went against the rule and not to have a Pit as a first pet. But so far she is turning out great. We always watch Pitbulls and Parolees on Animal Planet. Our trainer at Petsmart (Her name is Lauren and she teaches in Fountain Valley) She calls her Switzerland because she is neutral to pretty much everything.
