✨ Boo-tiful Belle’s Diary: I’m Adopt-a-Boo! (Day 3)

Dear Diary, today was all about toys! 🧸 I tossed them in the air, carried them around proudly, and even tried to nap with one as my pillow. My foster mom says I light up every time I get to play.

Toys are fun, but what I really want is someone to share them with — a forever family who will laugh at my silly games, cheer me on, and cuddle me after playtime. 🐾💕

About Me 🐶
💜 1 year old
✂️ Spayed & ✅ up to date on vaccines
❤️ Heartworm positive, but treatment is fully covered by the rescue (and help is available for rides to appointments)
🐕 Good with medium & large dogs; small dogs may work with slow introductions
🚫 No cats

😴 Pretty low-energy for a 1-year-old — the perfect mix of playful & calm

✨ Boo-tiful Belle’s Diary: I’m Adopt-a-Boo! (Day 2)

Dear Diary, it’s me again — Belle! 🐾 My foster mom says I’ve already made myself right at home. I follow her around the house, curl up on the coziest blankets, and wag my tail so hard it makes her laugh. 💕

They say Halloween is all about tricks and treats, but I’ve got my own version. My trick? Melting hearts with one look. My treat? Well… I’m still waiting for the sweetest one of all — a forever family. 🎃🍬

Until then, I’ll keep writing, waiting, and wagging. Maybe tomorrow will be the day my forever home finds me. 🏡✨

✨ Boo-tiful Belle’s Diary: I’m Adopt-a-Boo! (Day 1)

Dear Diary, my name is Belle 💕. Everyone says Halloween starts in October, but I just couldn’t wait. I’m starting spooky season early because I don’t want to wait that long to find my forever home. 🎃👻

They’re calling my journey “Adopt-a-Boo,” and each diary entry is a little piece of my story while I wait. I may not be scary, but I am frightfully sweet — full of snuggles, tail wags, and a heart ready to love. 🐾

About Me 🐶
💜 1 year old, about 40 lbs
✂️ Spayed & ✅ up to date on vaccines
❤️ Heartworm positive, but treatment is fully covered by the rescue (and help is available for rides to appointments)
🐕 Good with medium & large dogs; small dogs may work with slow introductions
🚫 No cats
🧸 Loves toys & cuddles
💤 Pretty low-energy for a 1-year-old — the perfect mix of playful & calm
🚗 Rides well in the car

So here I am, Boo-tiful Belle, sharing my story a little early in hopes that someone out there sees me and says, “That’s my dog.” 🏡

Unfortunately, she is heartworm positive and needs treatment. We are already 1/3 of the way to our fundraising goal—thank you to those who’ve donated so far! 🐾

Can anyone else help us reach the finish line for her care? Every little bit brings her closer to a healthy, happy life. 💕

Thank you again to Love4Paws for helping Belle!

🐾 $5 Friday for Beach Paws Dog Rescue (local rescue in Apollo Beach!) 🐾

Beach Paws Dog Rescue is one of the unsung heroes for our shelter dogs at PRC — always stepping up to take the tough medical cases. These are the dogs who need surgeries, treatments, and extra care to have a second chance at life. 💙

Smaller rescues like Beach Paws don’t get the big donations — but they still take in the sick, the injured, and the forgotten. Right now, they are in great need to keep saving lives.

If everyone reading this gave just $5 today, it would add up to something HUGE for the dogs in their care. 🐶 Every single dollar truly makes a difference!
