Story
My Elderly Humans Had Health Problems.Bella was born about September 17, 2007 and weighs about 55 lbs. She is here because her elderly owners were having health issues and none of the relatives could offer her a home. Upon arrival she was overweight and had skin issues. She wasn't ready to leave us right away, but now she has dropped some weight and looks and, seems to feel, much better and is more active than she was. Her skin has drastically improved and, perhaps, the condition was due to stress, her food, etc. Bella may be a bit long in the tooth, but she moves well and hears and sees well for her age. She does have some lumps, bumps and a hanging thingy none of which bother her at this time. Bella did have an untreated ear infection when she came that we've treated but will likely need more care going forward. She did well going through having her teeth cleaned. She is house trained, loves car rides and has done well with visiting children in her last life. She has been amazing with all the other dogs. We are told she may have wanderlust if off leash so a fenced yard would be best or to walk her on leash and she does enjoy walks. Bella also enjoys a lot of attention from her people and we are told she loves her biscuits....which are few and far between here at the rescue which might be why she has slimmed down so well. So, this nice senior lady is ready for a new home and a new life with humans that will love her for however long she has left and we hope there are several more years. We have the best adopters and we know we will find someone out there willing to love Bella!!!! The Adoption Fee for this dog is $150.00. Adoptions fees vary based on adoptability.
