Bella, an adorable little pup, resided at a local shelter for the majority of her life.

The situation of dog shelters in Romania differs greatly from those in the United States. These shelters are often characterized by outdoor enclosures that lack optimal conditions for the dogs. Unfortunately, due to poverty, these shelters receive insufficient food donations, resulting in inadequate nutrition for the dogs.

One such dog, Bella, was in a state of fear and malnourishment. She had never experienced the love and affection of a human before and her spirit was being broken during her stay in the shelter. A video produced by Howl Of A Dog, a Romanian rescue organization, documents her removal from the shelter in hopes of finding her a permanent home where she can thrive.

As the rescuers and Bella rush to get her to the vet, she sits next to her new human friend with a stoic expression. However, deep down, Bella knows that her life is about to take a turn for the better as she finally receives the love and care she deserves. Her exhaustion is evident, with shelter staff noting that she hardly slept and had difficulty feeling secure in her kennel. But as she receives gentle pats, her eyes begin to droop and it’s heartwarming to witness her finally let go and relax.

Bella’s heartwarming gesture was truly touching. She rested her head on the lap of her savior and dozed off while en route to the vet’s clinic. The car ride was calm and quiet, and the woman beside her was kind and welcoming – just what Bella needed to feel safe. Providing a sense of security is crucial for dogs, especially those in shelters. Since the video was recorded, Bella has found her forever home and is living happily. Let’s spread the word about Bella’s story and encourage more people to adopt shelter dogs in need of love and affection.
