About Me
- Bella
- 55 lb. black/brown brindle catahoula who currently lives in Dallas, Texas. I have golden brown eyes that some say always look somewhat sad. I live with my mom, dad, and big sister. I work in a commercial photography studio and sometimes do a bit of modeling. My favorite foods are Farmore raw buffalo meat and rotisserie chicken. Despite the fact that I'm a canine, I really like spending time with cats.
Sobering Statistics
Every three minutes a dog or cat is killed in the Metroplex (on average 200,000 healthy animals per year). Five out of ten dogs in shelters and seven out of ten cats in shelters are destroyed simply because there is no one to adopt them. (ASPCA estimate)

The number of cats and dogs entering shelters each year is 8-12 million (HSUS estimate)
Facts You Need To Know
Every three minutes a dog or cat is killed in the Metroplex (an average of 200,000 healthy animals per year.)
A female cat can have her first litter of kittens at five months.
One female cat and her offspring can produce 420,000 cats in 7 years.
One female dog and her offspring can produce 67,000 dogs in 6 years.
Severe dog attacks on people are more likely to be done by unaltered dogs.
Many pet behavior problems (house soiling, marking, spraying, persistent barking/meowing, roaming, escaping, fighting with other pets, biting humans or other pets, bleeding and other issues that go along with female pets being in heat) can be eliminated by a simple spay/neuter.
Large numbers of purebred animals are destroyed every year in pounds and shelters. It is cruel to bring one more litter, even a purebred litter, into the world as long as we are killing so many healthy animals on a daily basis.
The cost to US taxpayers every year to impound, shelter, kill, and dispose of unwanted animals is about $2 billion.
The majority of animals killed every year are young and healthy. Millions of dogs and cats are killed by cars and hundreds of thousands are abandoned, severely neglected, or abused.
