| BELLA Bella is a purebred female Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier. Her DOB is 11/23/06 Bella and her brother, Denny, were born in a Missouri Puppymill. They were purchased by a family that soon discovered that Bella dribbled urine. The family fell on hard times and were no longer able to care for them properly or pay for the surgery that Bella requires. Both dogs are very sweet and friendly. They came from a home that had 11 dogs and reportedly got along fine. The poor babies have been living outdoors for over a year due to Bella's condition. As you can see in the pictures, they came into rescue in horrible condition. Seeing that they were owner released it is absolutely atrocious. We have had mill dogs come in better condition than these two. Poor Bella's coat was so matted the even getting clippers under it was a nightmare. We had to literally peel it back inch by inch in order to be able to cut it was pulled so tight. It had to be very painful to have all of your fur pulling tight like that all of the time. Under the big massive matt that was her coat she is a walking skeleton, severely under- weight. Bella has a ectopic ureter the same as Macey and Maia. What this means is that her kidneys are not connected properly to her bladder and the urine is dribbling straight out of her instead of being collected in the bladder first as is normal. After much thought we have decided not to have Bella go through the ectopic ureter surgery. Even though they claim a 50/50 success rate, we have done this surgery many times through the Rescue and taken in many dogs that have had it in the past and we have never seen it fix the problem and in some cases has in fact made it worse. As Bella has minimal dripping we think it is best to just let her be and she can wear pullups while indoors as other dogs with this condition have done. Bella is spayed, HW neg and up to date on shots. OCTOBER 2009 - A FOREVER HOME! Bella has been adopted by the Stetzel Family of Indiana CONGRATULATIONS! |
