We at East TN Pit Bull Rescue need help for Bella. Months ago there was this
sweet little deaf white puppy at the Loudon County shelter. There was a great cry for someone to save her. Well at the
last minute when she was still there, Linda went and pulled her out. Bella
was so sweet and VERY smart! But we knew pretty quickly that 1) she was going to be a big girl, 2) she needed someone that
understood deaf dogs and could train her and 3) we were not that someone!
We checked with a deaf dog rescue or two but really just thought that since
she was so sweet and smart…someone was just waiting to take her in!
Well here we are 6 months later. Bella is still with Linda and has developed
a few doggie issues. Although she can be over exuberant and a little rough to
hold onto – Bella loves people. The same can not be said for other
dogs. She is bossy and can be jealous and aggressive. She has food aggression
issues with the other dogs as well as toy issues. Bella’s foster home
has way to many adult bully breeds and only one
small woman to care for all of them and she has some health issues that
require that she cut things back. Bella has to have a place to go that can
help her thru her issues and they have to be knowledgeable in training deaf
dogs.
Bella is vetted, micro chipped, crate trained and trustworthy in the house.
She has learned several hand commands. She is NOT safe with the cats! I know
I have placed a lot of emphasis on the negative behaviors but I want THE
RIGHT commitment for Bella and that can only happen if we tell all of the
truth. We think Bella is a Pit/Dane or Doggo mix of some kind. At 10 months
old, she is pushing 60 pounds. If the right group/individual steps up for
Bella – they will be getting a fully vetted dog and we will get her to
them. If you can help Bella, please contact me.
Thank you!
