Spayed Female |14 Years Old | Shepherd / Lab | Dog Friendly

Due to Bella's possible special needs, her adoption fee has been waived.

Meet our extremely sweet and friendly senior girl named Bella! Bella is about 14 years old and she came to our shelter after her owner passed away. Unfortunately, there were no family members able to take Bella after this happened.

Bella is a very loving dog who just wants to be with people. Her paperwork says she is a Shepherd/Lab mix, but she is not very tall. Bella still has good energy and she is very treat motivated, where she will still jump up and vocalize for them. She is a wonderful dog who does not deserve to spend her retirement years in a cage.

Bella is good with other dogs and she lived with a cat in her previous home.

We did have a senior blood panel done on Bella and there wasn't anything gravely serious found. Due to some of the blood levels and a slightly distended abdomen, our vet staff thinks there is a possibility she could have Cushings Disease. This is not life threatening, and we are told she can live without being treated for Cushings specifically. This seems to mainly affect her drinking, making her want to drink more than usual, so she will have to urinate more frequently.

Due to this Special Needs, we will be waiving her adoption fee.
