Bells

My story

  DESCRIPTION: Beautiful Bells was adored by her owner. She was raised with love, affection, and opportunities to socialize with people and other animals. Unfortunately, when her owner passed away Bells had limited options. Extended family kept an eye on her for a bit, but when storms hit and Bells got loose they decided she could not return. Instead they left her in an exceptionally overcrowded shelter with an uncertain future. Nationally, shelters and rescues are significantly over capacity. There are simply too many animals and not enough placements. Groups across the nation are doing everything they can to save as many lives as possible; however, the reality is many incredible animals do not make it out of shelters alive. Recognizing that Bells' deserved the chance to move forward safely with a family that would cherish her for a lifetime, shelter staff reached out to MAGSR for help. Fortunately, we had an amazing foster family step forward and were able to welcome Bells into the MAGSR family. Beautiful Bells is young, active, and affectionate. It is beyond obvious that this girl loves her people and has had opportunities to interact with people of all ages. Still learning basic manners, Bells will need to learn to keep all four paws on the ground. However, with clear expectations, consistency, and training, we know that Bells will learn fast. She already knows to sit on command and walks relatively well on leash when the correct equipment is used. Curious about the world around her, Bells has a busy nose but does not pull excessively on leash. She will however need an active family that can provide her with daily opportunities to exercise. Living in a household with kids, cats, and other dogs, Bells is friendly with everyone. She is responsive to the boundaries set by the cat and is comfortable with the dogs in the home. As Bells is new to the MAGSR family, we are still learning about her household manners. At this time, she is crate training and seems to be housebroken. Time will tell on this piece. Structure, routine, and clear expectations are already in place as Bells decompresses from all of the changes in her life. Maintaining this set-up will help Bells continue to make the adjustments she needs to meet with success. Overall, this lovely girl is a go-with-the-flow kind of lady. However, after all she has been through, storms are not her thing and she does need to be kept safe and secure during rough weather. Bells is looking for a household that will fill her days with joy, treats, and belly rubs and her nights with plenty of soft blankets and cuddles. If this lovely little girl sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet Bells today! May 26, 2025, 3:29 pm
