Bella came to rescue from a local shelter after her family surrendered her due to financial reasons. She is super sweet and loves people and other dogs. She does not like cats. She is recovering from nerve damage in her hind legs which occurred during her spay surgery. She is currently doing physical therapy once a week at St. Francis Animal Hospital in Woolwich Twp, NJ. She was paralyzed for a few weeks after her surgery but is now walking again. However, her gait is not 100%. She hops and wobbles. We are hoping after the nerves heal she will walk normally again. However, Dr's are not sure at this time. Nerve damage takes months to heal. She does love therapy though and does seem to be improving.

All animals adopted from us will be spayed or neutered, dewormed for parasites, current with vaccines for their age and microchipped. Dogs will have tested negative for heartworms and given monthly heartworm, flea & tick prevention. Cats will have tested negative for FELV OR FIV and given Revolution monthly

The general adoption process is as follows:

Once we receive your application, the TLC Animal Rescue Board of Directors will review it to see if the animal you are interested in may be compatible with your family.
Once your application has been screened, we will arrange a meet and greet with you and your family members (including pets) and the animal you are interested in.
During this time, one of our adoption coordinators will be contacting your references and your veterinarian to verify if your pets are spayed/neutered and up to date on vaccines.  If the meet and greet was successful, and any other potential adopters have been ruled out, we will schedule a home check and move ahead with the adoption.

We look forward to receiving your application.
