Saved by the Bell
Hi,
My name is Isabella. Foster mom named me that because I was “saved by the bell”. I guess I was pulled out of the shelter with only a few hours left. All I know is I was glad to get out of there! I’ve had a pretty rough past, but my future is looking bright thanks to Pointer Rescue.
I wasn’t treated well before and was used to produce puppies and didn’t have much of a life. But now I’m learning how to be a pet and I love it. I’m house-trained, love my crate, and am very sweet with people of all ages and sizes. I don’t jump up on people and I’m very gentle with children. Foster mom says it’s a testament to my breed that I’m so sweet and loving after all I’ve been through.
The vet thinks I’m only about 3 or 4 years old. I’m good with cats and horses and love to go for long walks. I’m very submissive and smart and I learn “real quick” according to foster mom. I have great natural pointing instincts and would probably make a good hunting dog if you’re into that.
I guess my only fault is that other dogs make me very nervous. I came from an over-crowded situation where I was having to fight for food and water and it traumatized me. So now I’m OK with other dogs as long as they leave me alone, but if they get in my face and I can’t get away, I get upset. However, if I have a crate to run to, I’d rather do that than argue. I don’t want to argue, I’m just scared. If I’m out and about on a leash I’m polite and I don’t lunge or bark at other dogs. I’ve been at my foster home for a few weeks now and I still am scared of the bulldogs here and don’t really like them, but I’ve learned to relax and trust my fellow pointer foster sister Jill. She’s nice and mellow and she gives me my space so I’m pretty happy to be in her company. Foster mom says I’m getting better every day, but I’d probably do best as an only dog or if I’m going to live with another dog, it should be just one other dog and probably a neutral calm one that will give me my space until I learn to trust them.
If you think you might like to meet me, please fill out a PRO Adoption Form and someone will contact you soon.
Thanks for taking the time to read my story!
Isabella
