It was March 2007 and I went with a friend to Pet Supplies Plus so she could get some dog food for her dog. I had been thinking I might get a cat. Im a huge animal lover and we had recently had to put my dog from childhood down, so I wasn’t sure about getting a dog at this point. We went in and I said, “Let’s go back to the adoption room and see what they have.” Well, “Belle” had just been brought in and was actually still in a carrier down in a shopping cart. She peeked out at me with her sad eyes and she had me right then. She is a beagle/border collie mix and I just thought she was marked so cute and was such a good size. Not too small and not too big. I immediately said “I’ll take her.” I filled out the application and came back the next day to get her. Now she is such a big part of my life and everyone who meets her is in love with her. She has so much personality and does the funniest things. But yet is so sweet and protective. I cannot imagine my life without her now!
