🐹 This is "Bella" the dog and she is a Waverly Pet Rescue dog. Please help us find her forever home by sharing this post! Thank you! 🐹

Bella's owner in Waterloo, Iowa, went to a care center and no one in the family wanted Bella so they dumped her at Cedar Bend Humane Society. Bella was absolutely terrified there and with her personality, a shelter is the last place she should be at. CBHS asked if we could take her in so she could live in one of our foster homes until adopted. CBHS and WPR have worked together for years and years helping each other to save more lives. We found a foster home and took Bella in back in March 2025. She is spayed, up to date on shots, and heartworm negative.

Bella's birthday is 07/09/22 so will be 3 years old in July 2025. She weighs about 12 pounds.

We do not know exactly what her life was like with her elderly owner, but poor Bella did not thrive in whatever environment it was that she lived in. We tell you all of this because Bella is cute and a sweet girl but whoever adopts her needs to know that she has trust issues and will need time to adjust and relax. Bella is not going to just walk into your home and be the perfect girl. She will need lots of time, love, and patience. Our foster home is very experienced, and they are helping her heal and trust. She will always possibly have setbacks and regress. And then she needs an owner to help her bounce back and trust again. So we will only adopt her to someone that also has experience and fully understands this.

Bella is scared and terrified of everything. At the shelter, they tried to put a leash on her. She did an alligator roll, screamed, p*ed all over herself, and tried to nip anyone who came near her. Stuff like this breaks our heart and it did for everyone at the shelter too. Once they heard about Bella, it made the foster home determined to all they can to get Bella to a point where she can have a good dog life.

We’re still working on Bella’s potty training. We’re thinking she was p*e pad trained as neither of us ever saw her go potty outside, but she does inside when we’re not watching. We got p*e pads and put them outside and she is starting to learn to go outside. She is still pooping on the p*e pad in the house occasionally, but she has not p*ed on it so we’re making progress. We do have a doggy door, other small dogs, and a fenced in yard so that has helped too.

She really has come around since we first got her. She is not as scared for sure. Cannot get her into a kennel though at all as she is too scared.

She still hates harnesses and leashes but has gotten used to us petting her on the back and around the neck. She is starting to trust us and you can see in her eyes that she wants to trust us.

I think she’d do great with other dogs. I believe our pack has helped bring her out of her shell and figure out to go potty outside for the most part. She is still jumpy at times, but Bella has made so much progress in the short time we’ve had her.

Bella has not been around cats. A home with no small children would be best. Possibly kind older children would be ok. Bella hates the vet office because she is so scared there. She probably needs medication before going to the vet. A fenced in yard is required.

Long story short she still has some work to do but is getting better and better.

😽 Please share! This is "Bean" and he is a Waverly Pet Rescue kitten! Please help us find a forever home! 😽

Bean was a stray in Denver, Iowa. A kind lady rescued him off the streets and has agreed to be his foster home until he gets adopted. Harry is up to date on shots, tested FeLV / FIV negative, and neutered. He is living in a WPR foster home with the foster lady who rescued him.

Bean was born 9/1/24 so is 7-months old as of April 1st, 2025. Harry was feral for the first 10 weeks of his life. So initially skittish and scared. He needs time to feel safe and then he will seek you out for pets and belly rubs. Ear scratches are much appreciated. Lover of wands, all things ball related and electronic toys. He would love cat tree and a window to monitor the neighbors and a cat condo for quiet seclusion.

His foster mom has done well getting him tame and friendly. In a new home, he will be scared at first and need time to adjust and settle in. He will need to be set up in a room alone at first. He will need to be adopted by someone willing to give him time to settle in and is willing to follow our advice on how to do this. It is easy if you can realize it will take weeks or months perhaps, and not days. Kittens and cats like this are so worth it because they bond deeply with those humans they finally learn to trust.

He has not been around dogs. Needs a home with no young children because they would be too noisy for him. He does well with other cats.

Harry will need to be adopted along with one of his brothers, or into a home with another young cat. He will thrive with a cat or kitten friend. He cannot be the only cat in the home.

Kittens in this litter are: Orange, Jerry, Harry, Bean.

😽 Please share! This is a Waverly Pet Rescue kitty and her name is "Bella". Sharing is a way for you to help us find our adoptable pets a forever home. Liking this post helps us to stay in the NewsFeed. 😽

--Bella--
*She is very sweet, friendly, and loving.
*She is not a total fan of being picked up and held so a home with no children would be best.
*Bella is a princess and she desires a home that will treat her that way.
*She likes to be petted but can get over-stimulated at times and then you need to stop petting her or she will nip your hand. This is common with many cats and not a big deal. A cat will give you signs of when they have had enough, swooshing of the tail, ears go back, etc. Bella needs a true cat person who understands this and will follow her cues.
