Bela The Dog Gets A New Life At Animal Sanctuary

I have previously discussed Connie Ley’s will, which provided that her dog Bela could either be euthanized or sent to Best Friends’ no-kill sanctuary. 

For those worried about the nine-year-old German Sheperd’s fate, it will be a very happy new year for Bela, as she arrived Sunday at the animal sanctuary.  “It’s wonderful to be able to welcome Bela here.  It speaks to our principle of valuing all animal life.  In this case, there was potential for something terrible to happen, but we are set up to give him a great life and all indications are that he is a beautiful and wonderful dog.”
