Bless you for adopting this dog. She is absolutely stunning and you can feel safe having her around! I got my dog from the town of hemp. shelter too. He is a shih tzu, very cute. I was wondering if you know about all the trouble that shelter is in. If you are on facebook, go on hope for hempstead shelter or google kill the kitty video (not graphic)

Lots of luck with Bella. I would love to meet her someday!
