Therapy Dog Bella
My name is Bella and I am 2 year old. I live on a farm and love being outside in the gardens and down at the barn with the horses. I love getting dirty and being able to roam my territory
I have been told I am very mellow and it is true. Nothing really bothers me except for loud noise-not my favorite-hurts my ears! I love people and enjoy their company. I love being around other dogs but when I am working I wait for my owner to tell me if it is alright to introduce myself otherwise I wait for them to initiate the meet and greet.
I have been working for approximately 1 year as a therapy dog after completing my training. I make weekly visits to senior day care facilities for Alzhemier and Dementia patients. Once a week I visit the Breast Imaging Center affiliated with our local hospital. I have assisted with package wrapping at the Mall during the holidays and have gone to health fairs at local businesses and schools.

Bella's Owner
Elizabeth YeeI am a retired Law Enforcement Park Ranger. My husband and I purchased an 80 acre farm in the Finger Lakes Region of NY upon retiring. My patrol horse was retired at the same time and he was moved here with us from Grand Canyon National Park . I strongly believe in rescue and have another rescued horse. I would like to foster others as needed.
I am an active member of the local Rotary Chapter and work part time (during the spring, summer and fall) at a farm market.
