Why are you rehoming your pet (primary reason)?: Personal Problems
Details about rehoming reason (if needed): Bella is a good dog. We’ve kept her since she was a puppy. She’s my grandma’s dog, but unfortunately, due to family issues and them not taking care of her or caring for her properly, and financial issues, my grandmother’s memory declining, and my own mental problems, she needs a better home and environment to be in. I do believe she has depression and I would like her be with someone who really cares for her deeply, like my grandma did. I love her, but it’s time she needs a real family again because I can't even look at her without feeling guilty
