Barbara passed away on Saturday, the actress thanked everyone who suffered with her and said she was happy for the time they got to spend together, she also told that she adopted the canine as a senior and encouraged others to also do so.

“I hope by seeing some of Barbara’s antics it inspires other people to open their hearts to older dogs cause I know they’re not the ideal thing to take on and obviously it’s sad when they die but it’s no comparison to the feeling you have knowing you soiled someone in their twilight years,” Bell wrote.

She thanked Dog Cafe, the rescue where she adopted Barbara.

Bell loves to rescue dogs and she always pleads with her fans that if they want dogs they should adopt from a shelter instead of buying them from breeders or stores.
