Bella

The day is here - after 5 surgeries in total, a little over a year after she came into the care of our rescue when her human Mom was murdered - BELLA is healed up, cleared by the doctors, and ready for her FOREVER home! It's taken the love and support of so many - her incredible fosters, many donors, veterinarians/surgeons, therapists, etc. Over $20,000 into this sweetheart, but how could we not?! (She came to us with mammary tumors, and required patella and multiple TLPO surgeries, as well, plus spaying) To know her is the love her. She loves cuddles on the couch and her daily walks. She's good with other dogs and kids. She does need a committed adopter, as her meds and special food total in the $200 range per month - but we think once you meet her, you'll agree she is worth it! Bella just turned 8 years old and is a nice lapful at around 50-60 lbs. Adoption fee covers: all vetting to age (including deworming, deflea etc ), spay/neuter and microchip at ~6 months at our clinic, free 30 days of pet insurance activated by a call, $60 reimbursement for completion of positive-based training classes, and lifetime support of rescue. Please fill out an APPLICATION here for consideration: www.tinyurl.com/appshdr (copy and paste link into browser window if link is not active in your browser) We are still doing application processing virtually since Covid-19, and dog meetings are happening using current masking and social distance practices. Dog meets will be individually by appointment with ONLY APPROVED APPLICANTS, and masks are welcomed but not required. We are not a shelter and are completely foster-based, so there are NO DOGS KEPT AT THE SHOP. PLEASE NOTE: If a dog is listed as Adoptable, he or she is still available at that time. Also, our adoption area is within a several hour radius of us in Rochester, NY (NOT including Canada -sorry!)
