Adventures of Belle
Belle, an American Pit Bull Terrier mix*, joined the Ann (Mom), Jim (Dad), and Beau pack on May 10, 2025, when she was about 7 months old. We met her in the City Foundry in St. Louis after attending the wedding of Ada and Jason. Belle was named Yazmin by the good folks at the St. Louis Center for Animal Rescue & Enrichment, and had a brief holiday with her foster Mom, Natalie. She now is enjoying romping with her "brother" Beau though the house; long walks in the near-by woods; watching for rabbits, deer, turkeys, and squirrels in her forever home back yard; and getting to know Mom and Dad.
