Intake Date: 11/12/16 Last Update: 12/17/2016 Date Available: 3/1/2017 Age: 6 DOB: 2/20/10 Gender: Spayed F Weight: I weight a healthy 46 pounds! Energy Level: I'm a low energy gal. I like to snuggle more than bounce! Color & Markings: My fur is a silky brindle in color and so beautiful. Can go to a home with other dogs: Yes, I do well with other dogs. I've been the only dog in my current foster home, so we haven't seen how I am living with another pup, but I think with a slow intro and me getting to know another dog gradually will really help with this! Can go to a home with cats: My foster mom seems to think that cats will not be a big issue for me! Good with kids: BBR Policy states no children under the age of 8+ so, my ideal home will have children over the age of 8 years old. Object Aggression: Aggression is not a personality trait that I have! I'm willing to share all the things with other dogs and people! Special Needs: I have pretty nasty allergies. Because of this, like many bulldogs I need all of my skin folds cleaned every day. This is pretty easy though, and bulldog parents become experts at this task. I don't put up a fuss when it's time to do this! I have some anxiety, and I can be a bit shy and apprehensive when I meet new people and new dogs. I also have what is known as "dry eye". This means my eyes will need lubricant (medications) daily to help produce tears since I can't do that on my own. Medications: I take Apoquel for my allergies, and this really helps me. It's not as expensive as it used to be and is really an affordable medication that can reduce my trips to the vet if given daily! I do take medication(s) for my eyes as I mentioned before. I'm pretty good at letting you put the drops in my eyes to help keep them healthy! Crate Trained: Yes I am, and I don't mind my crate at all! House Trained: I'm fully house trained, but don't be surprised if I have an accident or two when I first come to your house. I have some anxiety and I'm a nervous urinator. I think that sounds like a really fun super hero name! "THE NERVOUS URINATOR". Physical Fence Required: I don't need a physical fence, I don't really stray too far from home. I would do best with a harness and leash for my walks and potty breaks. Adoption Donation: $350.00 |

My Ideal Home:
Little Miss Bella came in as an owner surrender when the family could no longer care for her skin allergies. The condition started at the early age of 6 months. Unfortunately the condition was not always well controlled and she has a few areas of alopecia. With a good balanced diet, her Apoquel on a daily basis (likely the rest of her life) she has made huge strides and is feeling 100% better. She has also been under treatment for dry eyes and inflamed eye liner. The drops are too, a life long medication and a necessity to keep her eyes lubricated and healthy. Due to the condition she has a bit of a sag in her skin, which at times makes it hard to see above her. Though she gets around just fine, can be easily startled if approached from above where she can't see well. This beautiful girl would like nothing more than to find a family who wants to snuggle up on the couch or in your bed. She is very low key and easy to adjust to her surroundings. She is gentle and kind to everyone she meets human and/or animal. She may be a senior but she has A LOT of love left to give!! Don't let her age fool you. She knows many commands like "sit", "paw" and "stay". She even lifts her little paws up to put on her harness :) She gives nose kisses and lets you know she loves you.
She spends her day snuggled up in a blanket or bed, observing her humans. She plays with toys on occasions, she likes to play fetch and tug of war. She shows no signs of being destructive to furniture or possessions. Little Miss Bella is anxiously waiting to make someone's home complete and full of love.

Intake info: Bella is a 6 yrs young EB who comes to us due to needing more attention b/c her owner travels very frequently for work. She previously lived with older children and did great. We are told she would pass many animals on walks and did great/ignored them. She does have severe skin allergies that require meds and a special diet. Her eyes are a mess and she sometimes walks into walls b/c of it so we will be getting those looked at, too.
