Thanks to our wonderful rescue friends in VA and other Homeward Bound volunteers, Bella and her six siblings (Lilah, Alexis, Kimmie, Betsy, Wesley and Olivia) were able to come north to our rescue.

These pups are a gorgeous mix of two wonderful breeds -- lab retriever and shepherd. They are affectionate, sweet, intelligent pups who have the very best qualities of their parentage. They are also healthy, robust pups who I believe will grow into large, stunning dogs as adults.

All these pups, although a bit scared upon first arriving at my home, have absolutely blossomed after just one day!! They seem extremely people-oriented -- all are running to me for love and attention after such a very short time. I believe each will be very devoted to his or her forever family. All of these babies are total love-bugs :-)

If you are interested in committing to love and care for Bella for her whole life -- regardless of what lies ahead in yours -- please fill out an online adoption application, and one of our volunteers will be in touch.

If AFTER YOU HAVE COMPLETED AN ADOPTION APPLICATION, you would like additional information, please email me directly at cmonaco1@juno.com.

Thank you for wanting to open your heart and home to one of our beautiful rescue pups.

Good with Dogs, Good with Kids
