Welcome to our home.

In 2016, I purchased my log home on Bush Road with 2 month old Bella at my side.   A few months later, the first foster dog came.   Since then, dozens of dogs of all ages and breeds  have found solace here over the years.  Some have been placed in permanent homes through adoption, others stayed with me for life.    Bella, and the other dogs, play an important role in the rehabilitation of these traumatized dogs.    At “Bella’s on Bush” it’s not just a house, it’s a peaceful property, indoor and outdoor,  and the mentor dogs will help do their magic in soothing the past for these beautiful animals.  Currently, I have three permanent Golden Retrievers: Bella (the original)! As well as my two rescues: Skipper and Daisy, see below.  Thank you for visiting!

This (and we) are a work in progress

Bella has mentored dozens of dogs over the years.  Let me tell you the stories of the dogs who have been here, short and long term. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Bella's a rescue?

I think of us more as a sanctuary. That means I'll still foster and help agencies adopt their dogs, but I plan on my home being a permanent home for dogs, focusing on Golden Retrievers, who are traumatized and need haven.   Other dogs who come to my home may fit better to get re-homed due to age or circumstance. If that is the case, I may help seek placement for a dog, but people may adopt through the agencies I volunteer for as I plan on continuing to foster. 

Do you accept donations to support your rescue efforts?

Of course! I do get food and vaccines when I foster dogs, but keeping at least 6 dogs at my home means a strain on my budget. The largest financial need is VET BILLS!  If I bring in a dog I am now responsible for his or her care, including end of life care.
