Newlyweds give to dog in dire need

Post by Julie Randall, LDDR foster/volunteer

*** As an aside, late last night we got the wonderful news that Bella Mia was able to leave the hospital and go home to her foster mom who has been patiently awaiting her return to spoil and pamper her back to good health. She will be available for adoption once she is back in good health. Please click her photo to read her bio and see more pictures of this sweet girl in need.
