Description:
Belle made a long trip from about 100 miles south of Austin TX to get to Safe Haven.   Two days of relaying her from one driver to the next, with the driver the second day bringing her all the way from Wichita KS brought her to us a week ago.   Since then we have learned that she is a wonderfully sweet English Pointer who was saved by a veterinarian who thought she was too good of a dog to euthanize just because she would not hunt.  She is very alert to birds, but just not comfortable with loud noises. 

Belle is a bit too lean at the moment but we are working to put some meat on those ribs.  Otherwise she is ready for adoption and up to date on all of her vaccines (even including rattlesnake vaccine in her case), microchipped,  and spayed.
 
 English Pointers are high energy dogs who make great companions for jogging and for country living.  They have too much energy to be shut up in a small apartment all day, and can become destructive chewers without proper simulation throughout their day. Pointers need daily exercise and mental stimulation to work off their high energy levels.   While they will bark when someone they are unfamiliar with approaches their home, generally they are not watchdogs.
