My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Breed: Pitbull
Gender: Female
Estimated Date of Birth: 4/9/2021
Size: 52 pounds
Location: Wedowee, AL

RESCUING BELLA...
Bella was running loose in downtown Wedowee frantic and fearful. Concerned citizens networked her on social media and she was picked up by two men who chained her to the front bumper of their car in their front yard. The original owner was located and was unable to care for Bella and on 4/1/2024 she was signed over to the rescue to find her a new loving forever family.

ABOUT BELLA...
Bella is living in our rescue cottage with other dogs. She is happy-go-lucky, friendly and loves everyone and everything. She is a very loving and energetic and just the sweetest most beautiful girl with green eyes! She loves all other dogs and loves to play and lay in the sun. She was born with a deformed front right paw but she does walk on it and use it. There is no treatment for it and she is not in any pain and it does not slow her down! Her special paw is what makes her so special! She is crate trained and housebroken. She currently has a fenced in yard and does well on a leash. She does well with children and wants to be with her people. She will also give a warning bark if someone approaches the home.

ADOPTING BELLA...
Bella is spayed, current on all vaccines, dewormed, heartworm tested negative, microchipped and on monthly heartworm and flea/tick preventative. Her adoption fee is $200.00. If you are interested in learning more about Bella and potentially adopting her please complete an adoption application at https://www.rescueridgealabama.org/general-4. If you have any questions please email us at rescueridgeal@gmail.com.

FOSTERING BELLA...
Bella would love to get the opportunity to live with a family that can foster her until her forever family is found. If you are interested in fostering Bella please complete a Foster Application at https://www.rescueridgealabama.org/ways-to-help. If you have any questions please email us at rescueridgeal@gmail.com.

More about this rescue

At Rescue Ridge Dog Rescue of Alabama, our mission is to transform the lives of abandoned, neglected, and abused dogs in rural East Alabama and West Georgia. We provide essential veterinary care, safe and nurturing housing, training and daily physical and mental enrichment. Through human and animal socialization, we prepare dogs for adoption into loving, permanent homes. Our goal is to provide a personalized adoption experience to ensure every dog finds their perfect match, preventing them from becoming a failed rescue statistic. We also support our community by funding spay/neuter services, educating on responsible dog ownership while serving as a vital resource to our area which lacks a county and city animal shelter.

Our Founder Michelle Wagner
Michelle has been a huge animal lover since she was a child. She grew up in Dallas Georgia , Paulding County.
Michelle spent many years working in rescue as a kennel manager and is very savvy with bully breeds. She moved to rural Randolph County in East Alabama to be closer to family, While living here Michelle started to realize the huge dog overpopulation and abandonment problem that plagued the county along with the lack of resources such as animal control facilities and low-cost vet and spay neuter services. Michelle decided to start her own all-volunteer small dog rescue to do her part with helping the dogs in this county. There is no city or county animal control here so they are left helpless on the streets. Michelle started this rescue and became a 501(c)3 on May 28, 2024. Michelle does a wonderful job caring for her dogs and spends lots of time socializing and training them.
Michelle is always looking for committed loving homes so if you are interested in adopting please reach out! Rescue Ridge runs on personal donations which are tax deductible. Michelle is excited to work with the community to spread awareness and lessen the number of dogs in need!
