Story
My childhood dog Bella is 11, a sweet, old, anxious, puppy with a heart of gold. i recently moved out of my moms house due to neglect and could not take Bella with, however, when i revisited her a few months later i had found my bella, being underfed weighing 60 pounds, with a shock collar on, and not being properly taken out to pee. Mortified, i took her from that home immediatley, however i am unable to keep her long term. I just want her to live her last few years in a sweet home with the proper care she deserves.
