What our Volunteers say about Belle.
The volunteers at the centre absolutely adore Belle, our beautiful 5-year-old greyhound. She's a truly special girl who, despite her shy disposition, has completely captured our hearts.
When Belle first arrived, she was, as we say, a "true spook." New faces and unfamiliar things made her quite nervous, and she'd often retreat to her safe space. But with patience and a gentle approach, we've seen glimmers of the loving dog she truly is.
It's a wonderful feeling when Belle chooses to trust you. She'll tentatively approach, her big, soft eyes watching you carefully. If you're calm and quiet, she might even lean into your hand for a gentle stroke. And for those truly special moments, she'll delicately offer you her paw, a sign that she's starting to let her guard down.
Every volunteer who spends time with Belle speaks of how deeply she touches their heart. There's something incredibly rewarding about earning the trust of a dog like her. She reminds us all that patience, understanding, and a quiet presence can work wonders. We know that with the right dedicated owner, Belle will blossom into an incredibly devoted companion
