🩷🐾 PIT BULL AWARENESS MONTH —TODAY'S SPOTLIGHT-MEET CHANEL! 🐾🖤

If there was ever a perfect example of why patience, understanding, and allowing dogs to decompress matters, it's our beautiful girl Chanel! 🥹

Chanel is approximately 7 months old, and she's been with our rescue for just shy of three weeks.

When Chanel came to us, she had just left the only home she had ever known. A home where she lived with other dogs, children, and cats. Naturally, we thought transitioning into her new foster home would be fairly easy.

Well, Chanel had other plans.

This poor girl was heartbroken. She was depressed, overwhelmed, and absolutely NOT interested in making friends with the other dogs in her foster home. And trust me, these are some incredibly friendly dogs!

Even her foster mama, who is basically foster extraordinaire, was having a rough time helping Chanel adjust.

But here's the thing about dogs, and something we wish more people understood, especially during Pit Bull Awareness Month.

Dogs are individuals. They have feelings. They experience loss, confusion, fear, and uncertainty. And sometimes they just need TIME.

So that's exactly what Chanel got.

And then, almost three weeks later, our girl woke up one morning and apparently decided life was pretty damn wonderful after all! 😂🩷

Suddenly, she wanted friends! She wanted to play! She wanted affection! She wanted to be part of everything!

She's now enjoying walks with our girl Pandora, playing with Sadie, and showing off that enormous, beautiful pittie smile!

Chanel is housebroken, kid-friendly, dog-friendly once she warms up, and has been doing wonderfully walking both on and off leash in safe environments. She's silly, affectionate, playful, and just an incredibly happy little girl!

She has her spay and vaccination appointments coming up at the end of October, and she is officially available for adoption!

📍 Currently fostered in the Bay Area, CA.

Adopters before her spay must be local to the Bay Area. After her spay, she'll be available to approved homes throughout California and the Pacific Northwest.

Pit Bull Awareness Month isn't just about fighting stereotypes. It's also about teaching people to understand the dogs standing right in front of them.

Chanel didn't need to be forced to adjust. She needed someone to understand her.

And look at her now. 🥹🖤

Let's find this beautiful girl the forever home she deserves!

THIS RIGHT FU***NG HERE

"When you ask a rescue for an update on an animal and they block you, tell you to f**k off, become defensive or refuse to answer basic questions — force them to answer."

I can give you a list of rescues who have blocked me when demanding updates on dogs. These same rescues have many networkers backing them. They get these rescues HELLA pledges and donations. Then REFUSE to give updates and gas light like crazy, then block me. Guess what? These networkers act the same way.. I can provide a list of networkers too.

Meanwhile, those of us who are ethical and transparent have the hardest time getting support.

I am truly shocked regarding this rescue. But seeing they are partnered with Best Friends who is so corrupt, makes sense now as to why they are a piece of s**t rescue.

RESCUES DO FU***NG BETTER. THESE DOGS LIVES AREN'T A FU***NG GAME.
Now who is going to help all these dogs that were sent to Washington? How about you networkers rally for the ethical rescues? Or does that not benefit all the Shirley's out there?

Do f**king better. Demand updates. If they block you, blast them.
SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING.

Well punch me in the fkn stomach. I was not expecting her to go urgent so fast.

We need a foster so we can get her out. She has a URI so she would need to be kept separate from resident dogs while taking her meds plus unaware how she is with dogs.

PLEASE. I NEED TO GET HER OUT TOMORROW.

🖤 OUR GIRL PANDORA GOT SPAYED — AND WE COULD USE A LITTLE HELP. 🖤

Pandora was just spayed, and we could really use some help covering her vet bill.

BelLA’s House of Blues is a small rescue. We aren’t as large or as well-known as many others, and the reality is that a lot of what keeps this rescue going comes directly out of our own pockets.

Pandora wasn’t a shelter dog who came with pledges or donations attached to her name.

She was simply a failed homeless dog being forced to live in a crate on a porch, under a blanket, because she was no longer wanted.

And she deserved so much more than that.

Today, Pandora is safe. She is loved. She is absolutely thriving in her foster home. She is spayed, fully vetted, and completely ready for her forever family. 🖤

We just need a little help with her spay bill.

If a few people can throw $5, $10, $20—or whatever you can spare—toward Pandora’s vet care, it would mean so much to our little rescue. Those small donations truly add up and allow us to keep doing what we do.

💙 All ways to donate: https://linktr.ee/bellashouseofblues

Thank you to every single person who helps us keep these dogs safe, healthy, loved, and moving toward the lives they should have had all along. 🐾🖤
