New Family Member - Bella!

We decided to add to the family and adopt another dog in need. Bella is a five year old retired racing greyhound. She broke her ankle and ended up with a metal plate in her leg as a result. Because of the plate, she will always walk with a limp, but it doesn't affect her ability to get around.

She has a very gentle personality and has already made friends with Boris, Sam and Tasha, our other 3 dogs. She's been in the house for about 2 hours now and has settled in for a nap right next to my desk.

Here's a photo of her foster parents when they dropped her off at noon. Watch for more photos soon!
