AVAILABLE: Bella!
Bella is an 11-year-old senior Westie. She's good with other dogs and enjoys running around with them. She was surrendered by her former owner's family after the death of her owner and is a sweet and well-socialized dog. She is very affectionate, gives gentle kisses, hardly barks at all and is fun to carry around or just curl up on your lap. She has a fun personality and seems to adapt well to new routines in a loving environment.
Bella does have some health issues, unfortunately, so we are looking for someone who is willing to care for her needs. She has skin allergies that are well under control with regular bathing and a daily Apoquel (for her itchiness).
In addition, she has chronic ear infections, which her vet had told us will likely be something that she will endure for the rest of her life. She has had her ears packed and drops prescribed, but her infections return. Her hearing is not great, possibly due to her frequent infections.
She takes eye drops for dry eyes as well.
We will be looking for an experienced Westie owner who is willing to have her bathed regularly to prevent her itchiness, and who will be able to manage her ear infections and dry eyes. Bella will not be an inexpensive Westie for her new owner, but she makes up for it with her sweet disposition and zest for life. She is truly a special little dog.
We are reviewing applications for the best home for her. If you are interested in Bella, please submit an application at www.wrnt.org . If you already have an application in and are interested, please email us at [email protected], and we will be happy to review your application.
