Bella's Story

Quick Stats:<br/>-Spayed female<br/>-4-5 years old<br/>-Current on vaccinations<br/>-Heartworm negative! <br/>-Microchipped<br/>-House and crate trained<br/>-Good with other dogs and people<br/>-Not tested with cats or children<br/>-Ages older at the shelter because she was in such poor condition<br/>but vet re-aged her at 4 to 5 years old<br/>-Has a bobtail (we don’t know what happened)<br/>-High energy<br/>-Loves to eat and loves toys<br/>-Weighs about 75 lbs (gained 20 lbs since rescue)<br/>-Location: Fostered in Round Rock, Texas <br/>-Due to length of stay, adoption fee is reduced by $100<br/><br/>Meet Bella<br/><br/>Anyone down for some retail therapy? Literally! The first question I usually get is…Bella, what happened to your tail? It’s bobbed which is awkward for a German Shepherd. No one knows the truth and I’m not tailing..I mean telling. Just tell onlookers it’s the result of an epic battle between me and a dragon. I obviously won.<br/><br/>At the shelter I was 20 pounds under my ideal weight and in such haggard condition, they labeled me older than I am. Foster Mom says the rescue Vet says I’m closer to 5 years old. Thank you, I do have more gas in my tank. Or energy in my battery if you’re one of those EV drivers. I’m actually high energy for a middle aged lady. <br/><br/>As with all foster dogs, I’m potty and house trained with the help of Foster Mom. I love being in a Foster Home. With the food service here, I’m 75 pounds now. I am also glad to not worry about being hungry or thirsty. And toys! I love them. Even though we can’t buy me a new tail, we could totally do some retail therapy in the form of a squeaky, bone, rope, doohickey shopping spree.
