My Nonprofit Reviews

My husband, mother and I went to Suncoast Humane to adopt a small dog. Unfortunately the only small dog was a yapper who had been returned to the shelter twice after adoption (how sad). Anyway, my husband spotted Bella, a Lab-American Bulldog mix. She has the Lab coloring (black) and big webbed paws, but the shorter legs and the adorable Bulldog face complete with the underbite, so when she looks at you her bottom teeth stick out. It's just too cute. She very seldom barks and she loves everyone and everything (dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, and the list goes on.) Most of the animals she can't catch but living in FL, we are lucky enough to have dog parks and even a dog beach near us, so Bella gets out and socializes with everyone! She has turned out to be one of the best dogs we have ever owned and I am so happy to tell others that we adopted her instead of going to a puppy mill or worse. Suncoast Humane is a wonderful facility that took care of spaying, microchiping, shots and everything else we needed before bringing Bella home. I can't imaging my life without her and I encourage anyone looking for a dog, go to the shelters first. Most of the dogs are not there because they are mean or ill-behaved, but especially in today's economy they have been given up by owners who loved them, but simply could not care for them. As the T.V. ad says, these dogs are wise beyond their years and if they could talk would tell you stories of love and survival.
