Pet of the Week: 'Pit-o-licious' Bella Of The Babylon Animal Shelter

BABYLON, NY — Bella, a "pit-o-licious" pup and resident of the Babylon Animal Shelter, is the shelter's Pet of the Week.

Bella is a female pitbull who arrived at the shelter in November of 2022. While the staff is unsure of her exact age, they estimate that she's around "three to four years young."

"It’s hard to believe this sweet girl has not been scooped up yet," Christine Franke, a shelter volunteer who works closely with Bella, told Patch. "Bella is a silly girl who loves to play with toys and any kind of fetch you can offer her."

Franke says Bella needs to be the only pup princess in a new home.

"We are confident she could share enough love and laughter to fill your home," Franke said. "If you think you have the perfect family home for Bella, we’d love to hear from you."

To give Bella her forever family or find another potential soulmate, please call the Babylon Animal Shelter at 631-643-9270. Her identification number is 22-465.

Adoption hours are currently Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

In the meantime, the shelter is specifically in need of experienced large dog handlers and its staff is happy to train interested dog lovers.

There's also an abundance of bunnies, kittens and cats to spend time with too, Franke said. Anyone interested in volunteering may contact the shelter by calling the number above or emailing [email protected].
