Nurturing a malnourished dog- one pound at a time.




















This little girl is Bella. A pure bred Boxer who appears to be under a year old who loves cats, other dogs and kids of all ages! I rescued her at the end of last week from a teenage boy who didn't understand how to feed her and she was facing an uncertain future as the boy's father was taking the dog to the pound that day. Less than 24 hours later Bella was being lavished with home cooked meals and frequent brushings. She has severe seperation anxiety and cries when I walk away from her for too long unless she is in her crate at home with her Kong. Her weight as of yesterday is 40lbs. We have a goal of 5 more over the next two months.
