Bella Joy

My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Bella Joy: The Sweetest Snuggle Bug! Bella Joy is an 8-year-old Yorkie with a heart as big as her 17-pound frame! She’s an affectionate, playful girl who loves being close to her human, whether it’s following you around during the day or snuggling under the covers at bedtime.   What Bella Joy Loves: • Walks & Playtime: She’s leash trained, adores going on walks, and would love a furry sibling to play with. She also gets along well with cats! • Cuddle Time: Bella Joy is happiest when she’s by your side, ready to offer endless love and companionship.   A Few Special Needs: Bella Joy has an enlarged heart that pushes on her trachea, causing occasional coughing and wheezing. She also has Degenerative Valve Disease. She’s on two lifetime medications (one for her heart and one for respiratory support), and she takes them like a champ with her food. The good news is that her cough syrup helps keep her comfortable. Note: Bella Joy cannot eat grain-free food.   Overnight Care: Recently, Bella Joy has needed a diaper for overnight as she isn’t waking up to go outside. She goes out right before bed but has been sleeping through accidents. She does well with pee pads and diapers, making overnight care manageable.   A Gentle Soul: Bella Joy has had a tough year, losing her human and adjusting to new surroundings. She may be a bit shy at first, but with a little patience and love, she’ll show you her amazing, sweet personality.   The Perfect Home: Bella Joy would thrive in a calm, loving home where she can receive her daily medications and all the snuggles she desires. She’d do well with another friendly dog or even a cat and would be the ideal companion for someone who is home often and can manage her simple overnight needs.   If you’re ready to open your heart and home to Bella Joy, please apply at www.TiredDogRescue.org . Let’s give this lovely lady the forever family she deserves! Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 25, 2025, 12:36 pm
