PLEASE NOTE:  Bella gained 8 pounds since she was adopted and came back to DDRTX.  The first 5 pictures are what she looked like in October 2023. So far (since October 1, 2023) she has lost a few pounds and has much more energy!

 

Bella is a 10-year-old Chiweenie with a sweet disposition and a huge heart. She gets along great with dogs, both large and small… Our only concern is that Bella will need to wear her diaper (and suspenders to keep it on) indefinitely. She has been checked medically for diabetes, Cushing’s, kidney and bladder issues, and had extensive bloodwork… Medically, there is nothing wrong with her, but we can only assume that neurologically she does not understand how to hold her bowel movements because the first 5+ years of her life she lived in an apartment and never went out to potty. The diapers do not bother her and they do not impair her ability to get around easily.

 

We will keep updating her photos and weight loss progress over time. If you are interested in an older, sweet girl…and don’t mind a few daily diaper changes… please consider adopting Miss Bella Hope!
