About Bella Ct

Bella Ct is a nine-year-old chihuahua mix who came into rescue after her previous owner was no longer able to care for her. Bella has a deep love for people and makes a point to be close—she’ll tuck her head into your arms like she’s known you forever. She’s always ready for a cuddle on the couch and seems to sense exactly when you need the company. Playful and lively, Bella keeps things clean and tidy—she’s not one to get herself messy. She enjoys walks and shows curiosity wherever she goes, also handling a leash well. Right now, Bella lives with Toby, a terrier mix about a year her senior. They’ve spent their days together for years and are only being adopted as a bonded pair. They sleep and eat in their own crates but spend most moments side by side and always check in on each other. Bella would do best in a home with a fenced yard and older, respectful kids over the age of seven. She is housebroken, crate trained, and up to date on vaccines and routine health checks.
