Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Bella is a super sweet, cuddly young lady who will fill your life with entertainment and love! She was born blind and was going to be euthanized by her owner/breeder until a good Samaritan stepped in and adopted her, then surrendered her to us when she could no longer care for her. Despite being unable to see, Bella navigates familiar surroundings very well, though she still prefers to be carried when going outside or in unfamiliar settings. She came into our care with severely matted fur that had to be cut very short, but she will quickly grow fluffy again! See more of her story on Facebook and Instagram at the hashtag #debifostersbella Bella is in a foster home with cats and does well with them, though her bowing/barking invitation to play tends to scare them off. We are told that she is timid with other dogs, but we believe she would enjoy a dog playmate, as she is very playful and loves toys (especially balls). In her excitement when playing, she can't distinguish between the toy and her human's hand or arm; for that reason we recommend a home without young children. She is a very quiet dog; the only time she barks is when she plays. She likes to be with her human all the time, whether it's following you around or curling up on a soft bed beside you as you work. She is crate trained and working on house training (she goes outside when taken but does still have accidents in the house), and she is also working on leash training. In addition to being blind, we believe she may also have some hearing impairment, though she is not deaf. * Bella's adoption fee is $325.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Interested in this animal? The first step is an application, which can be completed at www.cvrrescue.org/adoption-applications/. The adoption fee helps cover a portion of the care provided for our animals, including spay/neuter, microchip, heartworm testing for dogs, FeLV/FIV combo testing for cats, deworming, age-appropriate vaccines (including rabies vaccine), and any medical care received while in our care. All cats and dogs are on flea/tick and parasite prevention for the duration of foster care. Notes about puppies: Adopters can expect a new puppy to have accidents, chew things they shouldn't, and have other normal, energetic puppy issues until they are trained, including jumping, mouthing, and general youthful naughtiness. If you experience puppy issues, please feel free to contact us; we’re happy to offer guidance. Also, if a puppy is a mixed breed, we cannot guarantee an adult weight. If your residence has weight restrictions or if you’re looking for a specific adult weight, we don't recommend applying for a mixed-breed puppy. We also offer rehoming services for pets currently owned by individuals. In these cases, we list the animal as a courtesy to the owner, and the animal is not currently in the care of CVRR, such that we can make no representation or guarantee of the animal’s behavior, demeanor, or health assessment. All information listed for a courtesy-posted animal is provided by the current owner and should be verified by any potential adopter. CVRR is a nonprofit organization. We have no paid staff, and all applications are reviewed and processed by our volunteers. Please be patient and understand that it may take 7-14 days to process your application, check your references, and gather follow-up info. You can expedite the process by providing accurate phone numbers and email addresses for your vet and landlord references, and by answering each question fully. Once your application is approved, we will schedule a meet-and-greet to see if the animal picks you, too. If it seems the adoption will be a good match for all, we will collect the adoption fee and complete the adoption contract. CVRR is a NO KILL rescue organization, and we have a LIFETIME COMMITMENT to all of our animals. If for any reason the adoption does not work out, the animal must be returned to CVRR. We will reevaluate the animal and choose a new home based on the best fit for it. March 27, 2024, 9:46 am
