Bella is a blind and deaf Collie who came to Almost Home as an owner surrender when she was seven months old. She was fostered by Grace Bowles until the LeVan family adopted her.
Hello. Bella is doing super. She has been easier than a "normal" dog to work with in many respects. Although, she is a bull and still likes to chew whatever she can knock on the floor : ). We are teaching her additional commands and still plan to do a small documentary on her. My wife and I don't really see her as disabled anymore. Most people don't even realize she is blind until we tell them.
She has kept her sweet personality. The tellers at our regular bank bugged us until we brought her with us. She was a big hit! I hope everyone at Almost Home is doing well.
We think that AHDRO is a fantastic, dedicated, and classy rescue organization. Keep up the good work. Joe LeVan
Almost Home heavily relies on donations to be able to continue our rescue. Quite often, the cost to rescue a dog far exceeds our requested adoption fee.

Adopt a Dog
Please ask your friends to adopt dogs from shelters or rescues rather than buying them from pet stores. A dog is killed due to the lack of a home approximately every 9 seconds ... adopting rescue or shelter dogs will help to reduce the number of dogs euthanized in shelters; it will also reduce the demand for puppies bred for sale in pet stores in the inhumane conditions of puppy mills.
