Notes from Almost Home Animal Rescue

Hi, I'm Belle! I was born on May 25th, one of six puppies in my litter. I don't remember much from those early days, except that nobody was really watching out for us. My brothers and sisters and I kept wandering into the road — it was scary, and dangerous, and we didn't know any better. Some kind neighborhood kids started keeping an eye on us, making sure we stayed safe. And then one day, a neighbor with a good heart took all of us in. I don't know where I'd be without that kindness. Now let me tell you who I am, because I think I'm pretty special, in my own little way. Not only am I a pretty little girl with speckles on my feet and chest, I'm a watcher. I like to sit somewhere with a good view and take it all in — the birds, the wind in the grass, whatever's happening down the street. Nothing gets past me. I have a feeling I'd make a wonderful watchdog someday, keeping a careful eye over the people and things I love most. But don't let my quiet, watchful side fool you — the second there's a chance to play, I am pure joy on four legs. Playful, outgoing, sweet all the way through. I adore my toys more than almost anything. Give me something to carry around, chew on, or toss in the air, and I am the happiest girl alive. And when playtime's over? I want nothing more than to curl up close and soak in all the attention and cuddles you'll give me. I love deeply, and I love easily, and I've got so much of it saved up just waiting for the right person. My dream — my whole dream — is a home with a fenced-in yard where I can watch over my little corner of the world, play until I'm worn out, and then collapse into someone's lap for all the love and attention I could ever want. I don't want to wait much longer for that dream to come true. I've already watched some of my brothers and sisters find their families, and every time, my heart gets a little more hopeful and a little more impatient. Please — if you have room for a watchful, playful, endlessly loving girl like me, I need you to find me soon. I promise I'll be worth the wait, and worth every bit of the love you give me. Love,Belle *Fenced in yard is required.****When puppies and kittens are adopted before being fixed, they MUST be adopted in East Tennessee.
