Do you have the time, patience and love for a few years to give me the best life I deserve? We’ve all read the sad stories. We’ve all seen the sad eyes. We’ve all seen the photos. Help me be one of the lucky ones, well I already am… since VIP Rescue Director and foster Mom Miss Betsy welcomed me in with open arms. I’m not just one of those stories, I have a name, it’s Belle, and I matter!
I’m a sweet senior gal that was surrendered to a rural shelter with the request to euthanize. ??. They said I had been attacked by an animal and they could not afford the care I needed. The shelter agreed to take me in, but would not euthanize me. Instead, they reached far and wide with a rescue plea, asking if any rescue had space to take me in and get me the medical attention I needed.
Thanks to my new VIP Rescue family, I’m on the road to recovery and every day is a new day, less pain, and more comfort for me. I have lost my sight, and I’ve lost my hearing and I have a burn wound (unknown origin, possibly a chemical burn) on my back that is healing well and my hair is growing back nicely. Through all of this, I haven’t lost my will to live, thanks to my “paw”some foster Mommy taking such good care of me!
I’m smart and I can learn the lay of the land in a short period of time. I enjoy food and sleeping on the soft beds in my foster home..bonus I am potty trained! I just need to be guided on the route needed to get outside so I can do my business. I will learn it in no time and I do let you know when I have to go..
I can have a step or two to get in and out of the home, so I don’t need a fenced yard but a secure location that I can do my business would be helpful. My foster mom can tell you some solutions if you don’t have a fenced yard. I am not too keen on the leash. I prefer to go at my own pace when I’m smelling all the neat smells outside.
I’ve had a recent dental and some lumpy bumps removed. I’m spayed up-to-date on my vaccines, microchipped and am current on my monthly heartworm and flea preventatives.
A note from foster Mom: This sweet girl needs a patient home to live out the rest of her days. It’s unimaginable that somebody could let her get in the condition she has found herself in. One day at a time, and Belle deserves the best.
All she’s looking for is patience, love, and a warm lap to curl up on. Is that you? Are you the home for her? An adult only home with someone who is home more often than not is preferred.
Please submit an application with VIPRescue.org if you can offer this sweet girl the best loving home.
Adoption Requirements: You must be a Florida resident, and be at least 25 years of age to adopt. To qualify for adoption, all of the pets in your home must be spayed or neutered, be current on all vaccines, preventatives, and have received consistent veterinary care.

All of us at VIP Rescue are Volunteers, with families, jobs and pets of our own, so please be kind and patient. We select the most fitting application for the dog, not necessarily the timeliest adoption application.
