Howl of a Dog rescued a beautiful Border Collie mix from a life of boredom, loneliness, and neglect at a public shelter.

This poor girl seemed completely hopeless and heartbroken at what life had to offer her, but that sad life is now behind her. She was so content and relieved to be saved, she fell asleep on her freedom ride, and trust us, it’s the sweetest thing ever!

In the care of Howl of a Dog, she received medical care, a soft place to rest, and a fitting name — Bella. Bella also got a bath and a flea treatment. She then got to discover so many wonderful things about the world around her, including new friends, toys, fun, and more. Bella is extremely friendly with people and dogs, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and obedient (she is part Border Collie after all!). All this sweet girl is missing now is a forever home!

Howl of a Dog offers international adoptions from Romania to the U.S., Canada, and Europe. Click here to learn more or make a donation to Howl of a Dog and help more animals in need.
