About Bella

Hello, this is a sad and unfortunate post for me to have to make. I am looking to rehome my almost 9 year old yorki-snousher mix breed dog named Bella. She is a very special needs dog and I just don't have the bandwidth and time to be able to take care of her the way I would like between college and 3 jobs. She was originally my mom's dog, but since my mom passed Bella had been getting 'taken care of' by my sister. I had to take her from my sister who was abusive and neglectful of her and so she is a little worse for wear, rightfully so. Despite what she's gone through, she has so much love to give and I want her to go to a loving home that will be able to take care of her and support her needs. She has such a funny and lovable personality. She loves to play fetch, and get a good rub down. She loves to nap and would love to keep you company whenever you are home. She likes to be active, she enjoys walks, short trips, and generally is just always down to play. She isn't afraid to stand up and protect you or anyone else in your family, a loyal guard dog! She truly is a character, there will be no shortage of laughs and good times when you're with her! She's always down for a good lap sitting, and isn't shy to attention from anyone. Bella can be very anxious, she has mellowed out significantly since I first got her but even currently with my schedule it doesn't work with the amount of general anxiety/ separation anxiety she has. She is currently on medication for her anxiety, (fluoxetine) which helps but she still prefers to be around someone majority of the day. Since she's an old lady she has some issues with the potty especially during long stretches of time such as at night but I will just put a diaper on her and that mitigates the issue of her having an accident inside. She has no outstanding health issues besides having Lyme disease, some teeth missing ( she eats strictly soft food), and slight cataracts in her eyes from being on the older side. She doesn't do well with other dogs, especially male dogs. Female dogs she's a bit better with but I think she's just been too scarred from her past experiences with other dogs. She does well with non-canine pets such as cats. She can be a lot and demand a lot of attention so I would recommend her being the only pet. She's good with children; she just needs to warm up to them while being held so she can sniff them and not try to run or jump on them. She is generally agreeable and calm; she can have her sassy/whiny moments, trust and believe, especially around meal time lol. She's a great pet for anyone older who is looking for a companion or someone that has a slower pace of life and spends a lot of time at home. There is no price that I am giving her away for, and if rehoming works out I would be more than willing to provide you all her stuff. (This includes her dog bed/blanket, water bowls, slow feeder, clothes, dog booties, cage, and whatever food/treats and medication we have at the time. I'm desperate to find her a good home as Grad school and a time intensive job is on the close horizon.
