Bella’s Beauty, A Heritage Humane Society Love Story

By Robin Barret Bledsoe Bella’s story is one of adoption and unconditional love. She came into my life in an unexpected way. As the interim executive director for the Heritage Humane Society, I had a good idea of what would be expected of me, managing day-to-day activities and working with a professional staff and compassionate, caring volunteers. I am used to this scenario as I have worked in the nonprofit world for years. What I was not expecting was to meet a little Lhasa Apso named Bella, who would eventually steal my heart.

Bella was brought in one morning in a cage, dirty, and terrified. She had curly hair and was in need of a good bath and grooming. With all the hair, her eyes were hard to see. A wagging tail was evident and something about her- I can’t tell you what it was- touched my heart. Bella was placed in a roomy kennel with a clean bed, food and water. I thought if I had Bella groomed she would be more appealing to potential adopters so I brought her home with me for the night before taking her to my groomer the next day. While spending the night with me, Bella surprised me by jumping in bed and sleeping next to me as if she had done it for years. When I picked her up the next day at the groomers, she looked like a different dog. Bella was BEAUTIFUL! Her face was angelic and sweet and mischievous, all in one. How could anyone have given this beauty up? Once back at HHS, I witnessed a dog with newfound confidence and energy. I placed her back in her kennel in anticipation of all the potential adopters. What I was not expecting was the feeling I had when I walked away, knowing Bella may find her new family soon. Throughout the week Bella would bark and before I realized it I was going to her kennel, checking on her, walking her and basically falling in love with her. With this realization I adopted her. Adopting an animal is a funny thing! I thought I picked Bella when in reality Bella picked me. Bella has brought an amazing love and companionship into my life, and I am so appreciative to HHS for the care and housing the program provided her and all our animals.

Bella’s story is not atypical to those of the other dogs and cats that HHS takes in, feeds and cares for. Animals are brought to HHS for a variety of reasons; some of them too painful and cruel to write about and others an unfortunate sign of the times and the poor economy. Can you imagine having to choose between feeding your family and feeding a beloved pet?

Most of us would say it is an easy choice; of course, our family comes first. But, what if that pet is your family? I have seen this dilemma first hand and, contrary to what I thought, it is not an easy choice. Parting with your pet because you can no longer afford to feed it is heartbreaking. Even more heartbreaking is the confusion the pet experiences.

During 2009 HHS took in 1744 animals. Thankfully, these animals have a safe, clean, and welcoming place to stay while we search for their new adoptive families. Last year alone HHS facilitated successful adoptions for 1054 animals. In order to maintain quality services and a professional staff, HHS relies on a number of resources but primarily community donations. Your donation will help us feed, house and care for numerous “Bellas” as they wait for new families. The human-animal bond is a strong one and, given the right circumstances, can be life changing. Please support Heritage Humane Society with a donation today. You quite possibly could change a life.
