Bella Swan is a doll, though a little shy. She is a sweet natured and gentle dog who enjoys soft pets. She is wary of hands coming from above her head but just avoids them, likely due to her diminished eye sight. She is gentle in taking treats and buddies up to those who have them. She is absolutely adorable with her puppy-like bursts of energy and bounciness at play time. She enjoys playing with other dogs and will interact with new ones. Overall, she has a moderate energy level and is easy to live with. She has no destructive habits and settles down and naps easily.

Bella Swan is looking for a home with no children, as their fast behavior will make her nervous. She shadows the person who shows her love and will bond quickly to her future person. If you want to make her truly happy, take her to the beach and see her pure joy on display.

Bella Swan loves soft squeaky toys. She will keep them with her where she sleeps. She'll run and chase balls, occasionally bringing one back. She is good on her walks and great in the car.

Bella Swan had a mammary mass removed that was adenocarcinoma. It was removed with clean margins and her chest radiographs indicated that it had not spread, but her adopter will need to have checkups with their regular vet to make sure she stays healthy.

Bella has diminished hearing and vision. The latter is due to her chronic dry eye. She now needs prescription ointment and an otc lubricant applied to her eyes daily.

Bella is coming from the SPCA for Monterey County.

Ebonee, the large mixed breed, and Wilma, the Basset Hound, are two lovely ladies who are most comfortable having each other near.

Hello! My name is Starr. Even though I am a senior now, I still love to play and have the energy of a younger dog. If you throw my toy, I love to chase after it in play. I love people as they are always so nice in giving me treats, petting me, and calling me sweet things. I'm happy to snuggle and receive their affection. I have not lived with another dog for a long time but I am friendly. I enjoy mingling with other dogs and would be content sharing a home with some canine siblings. I don't care for cats though and will chase them.

I'm good in the house, comfortable being left alone once acquainted with a new area, and even content to relax in a crate. I listen well too! You can give me direction and I'll do my best to respond correctly. If you bring out the leash, I will go right to your side, ready to go.

I am needing a new home because my previous family is no longer able to take care of me. I have some skin allergies and POMDR wants to help me get these under control and get me healthy and feeling great. Then I can spread cheer around my new family.
