About:  Bella and her brother Rodney came to us as babies from a working farm that we receive many severely neglected and sick sheep from. The agricultural animal laws in Alberta are very bleak. Agricultural animals are entitled to food, water, shelter, and not much else. Despite our attempts to report this working farm that we receive many sick and dying sheep from, the animal laws in Alberta deem them to be following procedures; culling or surrendering the sick and dying sheep. Bella and Rodney were set to be culled, rather than seeing a vet, as culling is more cost effective and efficient for farmers. Thankfully, a concerned citizen stepped in and did as much as they could to help facilitate rescue.

 

Like many of the sheep that arrive from this working farm, Bella had an awful case of Coccidiosis which many agricultural animals struggle with when they are babies in unhygienic environments. Cocci attacks the intestinal tract resulting in diarrhea, abdominal pain, severe illness, and if left untreated, death. She also had a horrific case of pneumonia and was not growing. Bella was provided medical attention accordingly and is now a happy and healthy resident! Many, if not all, of the severely sick and dying agricultural animals at working farms can be treated with basic medical attention from a vet.

                                                        

Bella is an extroverted, high-spirited girl who has the most beautiful eyelashes and is always happy! She is a true girly-girl and loves frolicking around the barnyard with her herd. She loves people, hugs and kisses! Bella is an elegant lady that does not let her past define her.
