Bella - Adopted

Name: Bella

Age: Estimated 5 years

Sex: Female (altered)

Breed: Siberian Husky

Location: Fort Knox, KY area

Vet Info: Bella is confirmed spayed. Bella is not up to date on vaccines and has not been heartworm tested.  She weighs about 65 - 70 pounds.  Her owner says Bella had glaucoma in one eye and that eye was removed, and not long after that, she had to have her second eye removed.

Owner Info: Bella is a gorgeous girl whose owner took her in after her brother was unable to keep her.  She's had Bella for over a year, and because of her work schedule and her other dogs, she's realized she's taken on more than she can handle as she's unable to give Bella the care and attention that she needs.  She writes, "I don't want to just take her somewhere, I want to see that she is taken care of. It breaks my heart to do so but it is in the long run what is best for her! She is a sweetheart! Very loving and affectionate."  Bella is an outdoor dog with a fenced yard.  She is not housebroken but is leashed trained.  She knows sit, shake, and will jump on you for hugs when you tell her UP!  Bella is good with people of all ages and female dogs, but her owner writes that, "I was trying to get her used to my inside dogs so I took them out on a leash my poodle growled at her and she snapped him on the back. I am sure she was just startled by him and didn't mean too."    We asked for more information, and Bella's owner wrote, "The poodle was male and not neutered .  She tried to bite at him because she was not used to him. I am new at this trying to adjust everyone so i didn't really know how to go about it until i read up on it."  Bella is fine with her owner's bichon and is not possessive of toys, treats, or food. Bella's owner says Bella adapts well to new situations.  "She has adjusted fine with coming to my home. We put in an underground fence and she has never left it. She hears the beep from the collar and backs up. She is a very independent dog, easy going, lovable, and stays close to the house. She does not venture out. She does dig some but like I told my husband, "A digging dog ,is a happy dog." At least that's what the dog whisper said. :)" 

Update 9/15/13: We've just found out that sweet Bella has not found a new home, she has been taken to the shelter:(

Here is her shelter information:

Meet Bella. She is a pretty special girl. She is a 5 year old Husky who was born blind. Her people surrendered her to the shelter because their smaller dogs didn't like her. She is super sweet and playful and gets around extremely well with just her nose and her ears. She is really an amazing dog. It was so sad to see her end up in the shelter.
