More About Belle

Belle is an 8y.o. rat terrier who weighs about 8lbs. Her owner was elderly and could no longer take care of her.

Belle had surgery to repair a hernia and get dental cleaning. She has bad knees and walks bow legged. She is very sweet and easy to fall in love with. We will help Belle as much as possible but would like to find a permanent home for her who is willing to care for her special needs.



AN ADOPTION FEE IS REQUIRED FOR THIS PET.


Please contact Lisa Trenthem at ltrenthem@gmail.com or 901-276-7751 if you are interested in adopting this pet.

Unless otherwise specified above in the dog's bio, adoption fees are $150.
If you are interested in adopting, have a look at our adoption website, read the online adoption agreement, complete the online adoption application, and submit it.
If you are unable to adopt at this time, you may sponsor the care of this pet.



We adopt dogs from Memphis Animal Shelter when we can. The shelter has an 83% euthanasia rate, one of the highest in the country. Unfortunately, any dog coming from Memphis Animal Shelter, and most other shelters for that matter, will have been in contact with contagious illness. Even though the dogs have been in foster care and appear to be in good health, they may become stressed when changing environments and exhibit signs and symptoms of illness. If you have other pets, they need to be up to date on vaccines before bringing a shelter dog into your home. We will take the adopted animal back, but we are not responsible for your other animal's vet care. We always disclose where the dogs have come from. Please ask for any information about the dogs and exercise due caution if you have immunocompromised animals.
