Bea is estimated to be 15 years old and weighs in at a whopping 6 pounds! Bea has patellar luxation, causing her back legs to be quite bowed. Bea receives Librella injections once monthly to help with her arthritis. In the future Bea will require a mobility aid to get around. Bea has only a few teeth, so her food must be soaked in water before serving. Bea also has a condition called micro-opthamalia meaning her right eye is small and does not naturally produce lubricant. Because of this she must get lubricant drops twice daily, and sometimes you also need to use a wet cloth to remove some crust from her eye. Due to Bea’s age she will not be spayed so it is imperative that she is not in contact with unaltered male dogs - this also means Bea will continue to experience a heat cycle.

Despite her age and disabilities, Bea is just getting started with her new life! She is nervous around new people at first, but will quickly become your shadow and demand to sit on your lap. She gets along with dogs of all sizes and even cats. She is crate trained and does know to go potty outdoors, but does wear diapers inside due to her age.

Beatriz and roughly 150 other dogs were rescued by Animal Rescue Corp from a hoarding case in Madison, FL.
