Bella is a spirted and happy 10-year-old tricolor Cavalier, and she’s looking for a special person to call her own. Nothing makes this sweet girl happier than giving and receiving love. Her displays of affection are quite endearing, though reserved for her special people.
Bella’s came into rescue due to her anxiety and going potty inside. However, Bella doesn’t seem particularly anxious in her foster home, except in the situations mentioned above. Her previous home was also a lot busier with an in-home daycare, and her owner found Bella to be sensitive to changes in the home environment.
Bella has a history of recurrent urinary tract infections, including two this year. Our vets determined she was a good candidate for a vulvoplasty to remove excess skin folds and help prevent future infections. Bella had her surgery and is recovering well. She weighs 28 lbs and could afford to lose a couple of pounds. She has a grade 2 heart murmur but is otherwise healthy.
The ideal home for Bella has day-to-day stability and a laid-back atmosphere. She’d do best with another gentle dog of similar size and a family where someone is with her most of the time. We also get the sense she’d thrive in a home where the dogs don’t outnumber the humans. Since she enjoys her strolls, she needs someone who will take her on leisurely daily walks. She’s used to leashed potty breaks throughout the day but would do well with a fenced yard too.
