Hi, my name is Bella.
I came to this shelter back in because I was pregnant and my owners couldn't afford to care for me and all of my babies.
They made the decision to bring me here to have my puppies, then have me spayed, and I would go back home after my puppies were weaned.
Unfortunately, I was left outside of a public shelter, where they scanned me for a microchip and found that my owners no longer wanted me.
Thankfully, I had a microchip from this shelter, so the public shelter I was left at called this shelter so I could safely find a forever home.
I was in very rough shape when I was left there and needed immediate medical attention.
I am now ready for adoption, but I do need an owner that can keep me on my senior diet dog food($70/ month), as well as keep me on my allergy medication (Apoquel $/month) to make sure that I do not end up in horrible condition again.
The allergies are environmental, so the medication helps me a lot.
I am a very sweet, loyal, and loving dog who would love to find a home with people who will let me be a part of the family.
I love to sleep under the blankets and sleep close to my people, so I would love to find a family who loves to cuddle.
I also enjoy going out on walks and car rides and get along with other dogs pretty well.
If you would like to meet with me, please ask staff.
MEDICAL UPDATE: Bella may only have a few months to a year to live.
She is considered a hospice dog, as she has a number of medical conditions and is very old.
She would love to find an adopter or even a foster to live out the rest of her days with.
This old girl has so much love to give, it melts our hearts! She loves to lay around and snore, still loves to shake her favorite toys, eat treats, and never misses a meal.
She is very easy to care for, however, she does have mobility issues, so she needs someone who can help her around with a sling to take pressure/weight off of her back knees.
We provide necessities for our pets in foster.
We just want this sweet girl to pass comfortably/happily in a home, not alone in a kennel.
Love, Bella Boo
