Bella

Profile

 "In memory of Athena and Zera"

Let’s welcome Bella to RAGOM!  Bella is a 4 year old AKC golden.  She came into RAGOM through no fault of her own, her previous owner could no longer care for her or Breezer 11-086 due to some financial/health difficulties.  He loved these girls and he was all they knew. 

When we met transport (THANK YOU) Saturday, the girls (Bella and Breezer 11-086) hopped right into our minivan and Bella made herself at home in the front seat!  She settled right in, met our resident with flying colors.

Bella went to the vet today.  She is spayed, weighs 76lbs, HW neg, UTD and was already microchipped.  She is quite overweight and could lose about 15-20lbs, so we will be working on that.  They did the 4DX and it showed positive for lymes.  This does not mean that she has lymes, it could have meant that she had lymes and now has the antibodies, she is not showing any signs of lymes.  She could also use a dental cleaning with possible extractions. 

Bella is great with our kids (3 and 6 yr olds).  He runs up to them with a toy, rolls over for them to pet her.  She loves to be around her humans, loves car rides, walks great on a gentle leader, knows sit, though on her own time, stay, drop, she enjoys being with Breezer 11-086 (who is her aunt), they have played tug-a-war and drink out of the same bowl.  It would be nice if Bella and Breezer 11-086 adopted together, but is not necessary.

Bella is pretty submissive but I can see she is trying to figure out where she belongs and will tell our resident when she has had enough of her puppy play.  She really needs to lose the extra pounds, so she would need a family who will work with her on her weight and take our out for walks.  She will hang out by the table when you eat, however, we are working on having her lay down when we are eating. She is kenneled during the day when we are away.

If you are interested in meeting this lovable dog and adding her to your family, please contact your placement advisor.
