Adoption Search

Hi, my name is BELLA

Bella may be listed as 13 years old but she acts like a young pup!

This lovely lady has some current medical conditions, however they don’t appear to be affecting her joie de vivre in the slightest!

She is a smart and affectionate girl who knows the sit command and also gives paw. She went potty right away on our walk which means she may be potty trained. She likes treats and even chased after the ball!

This angel is easy to walk and easy to manage, she has spent her life time being an extra good girl and she is counting on that paying off in the near future. Sweet Bella needs an adopter or rescue that will provide her with the loving care she needs and deserves. She is certainly a lively wonderful girl who deserves a loving home in which to live her senior years.

Bella is available for adoption or rescue at The Animal Foundation.

My Special Considerations

This sweet, senior dog has a large mass on her left shoulder and would benefit from staging and mass removal. Bloodwork is available for review and within normal limits. Chest x-rays are available for review and showed no evidence of spread. Cytology of the masses is pending.

Update: Bella's masses have come back as a probable hair follicle neoplasm and an epithelial tumor (likely basal cell). Both are most likely benign (but there is a rare chance they could be more aggressive). Complete surgical removal would likely be curative. However, histopathologic submission of the removed masses would be necessary to ensure complete removal and give the most accurate diagnosis/prognosis. Due to our current caseload, Bella would benefit from placement outside of the shelter to receive these surgeries.
