Bella is pictured at a Water Search and Rescue training. Bella was on her way to becoming a USAR dog with FEMA, when she developed neck problems and got her first two heart evaluations. Even though she now has a clear heart evaluation her neck remains a problem as she has days when her neck keeps her from working. When a task force is deployed they take a very specific number of people and dogs. They take 4 dog teams with them. Because of this, Bella's neck makes her an undesirable USAR dog.
Currently I belong to Northwest Disaster Search Dogs. An excellent list of Other SAR Dog Groups can be found here.
