Isabella - Adopted

Name: Isabella
Age: 2 years

Sex: Female (altered)

Breed: Dachshund/Terrier mix

Location: Houston, TX

Vet Info: Isabella weighs 26 pounds.  She is up to date on her rabies. She is spayed.  She is also heartworm negative. 

Owner Info: Isabella was surrendered at a shelter by her owner and was scheduled for euthanasia when she was pulled by an independent rescuer.  Then it was discovered that she has cataracts, so the rescuer is hoping to find someone who might want Isabella who will find out if she could be a candidate for cataract surgery.  Isabella is an indoor dog who is not yet housebroken or leash trained.  She is shy but good with people of all ages and also good with dogs. She is currently living with a foster family that has 3 other dogs but, because she cannot see, sometimes she invades the space of the other dogs, and this causes some friction.  Therefore, the rescuer is not sure how long Isabella can stay in this foster home although Isabella has never bitten or snapped as far as anyone knows.  She seems to be in good health with the exception of an ongoing skin issues, probably due to allergies and fleas, and she is receiving treatment.  The rescuer said: "She's a sweet girl who really needs a break."                 

Update 9/15/13: Isabella had successful cataract surgery and her owner wrote: She's doing well and can see shadows out of the one eye, and clearly out of her eye that was operated on.  Isabella is still in need of a new home!!!
