PET OF THE WEEK DECEMBER 28, 2009

My name is Belle and I’m a mix of some sort, maybe American Eskimo and something else but not Husky - we had some here and I don’t look like them, act like them or no way am I as big as them. I’m just Belle. Most of the time I am sitting how you see me in the picture; my body pressed against the gate trying to see down the hall where the people are at. I love people and I love attention. I’m very friendly and love to give kisses. I got a bath and blow dry just the other day – the bath was no big deal, I’ve been wet before but the big blow dryer was a different story, at first I was a bit nervous but then decided it felt pretty darn good and after it was all over they told me I was a very good girl and that made me happy; I felt great, and now I am very fluffy and clean – I will need regular brushing but I like to be brushed so that shouldn’t be a big deal. I’m about five years old so I don’t have any of that puppy nonsense, I’m housebroken (I never make a mess in my kennel) I don’t chew things up or make a mess, I’m spayed, micro chipped and up to date on my shots. I like other dogs and get along with most of the dogs here but my very best friend is Roy, me and Roy are about the same age, the same size (except Roy is much more chubbier than me) and we play the same – we know how to play without being too overly excited like one of the dogs here that just jumps all over us, jumps on our heads, our backs, anywhere she can and I call that more annoying than play but to her maybe that’s the only way she knows. Maybe Roy can teach her some better play manners because I have a very good feeling that I will be getting a new home very soon! I want a home where I will live inside with my family and be kept safe when I go outside. I don’t ever want to live where I have to press my body against a gate to see my people; I want to be with them - at their side. That would make me very, very happy and in turn I can make them very, very happy. If you want to meet me I will be waiting at the shelter or you can call the shelter and talk to Pauline she will tell you all about me. 989-785-3738.
Pauline wants to give a BIG THANK YOU to all the generous people that brought dog food, cat food, toys, treats, and many dollars into the shelter during the Christmas holiday. Your caring for the animals is heartwarming – the Elk Country Animal Shelter appreciates your kindness and so does Belle and the other dogs and cats that are still waiting for their new homes.
