Bella, Bella, Bella

This poor girl really isn't doing well in the shelter. She needs out fast or things could go wrong for her.

Bella is a 5 - 6 yr old rottie that just needs another chance at life. The past couple of months have not been kind to this sweetie. Her and her family lost absolutely everything in a fire not long ago. As devastating as this was, it then got much worse. One of her owners had a stroke.

It became clear that there was no way for them to handle such a big girl and while they boarded her for awhile in the hopes of finding her a home, the cost just became too much and they had to surrender her to the shelter. This broke both their hearts and Bella's.

Bella is afraid. Her home and family have been taken away from her, she is in a strange place with strange dogs and strange people and she isn't sure how to handle this. And when a dog is afraid, they do growl. And that's what this girl is starting to do.

Once out of the kennel, she settles and becomes calmer but there are still things that frighten her. She doesn't like to have her collar touched, shy's away from people if they try to grab her but as most rottweilers, she is pretty food motivated and the way to her heart and head is thru her stomach. Bella will need someone that understand the breed, that is calm and gentle but firm. In short, she needs what every good rottweiler needs, love and leadership.

West Coast Rottweiler Rescue will pay for her spay, any medical needs she has, food if necessary and help with training and support.
