Bella
AvailableBella is a senior female Chihuahua located in Pelham, NH. She is small in size with a short, white and cream coat that is easy to care for. Bella is house trained and does well both outdoors and with pee pads inside. Due to her age, she is not spayed, but her vaccinations are up to date. She requires soft or wet food because she has very few teeth remaining. Bella’s gentle, calm presence would be ideal for someone seeking a loyal companion in her later years.
About Bella
Bella is a tiny, 7-pound senior chihuahua currently in New Hampshire and searching for a peaceful spot to spend her golden years. Her previous owner lost housing and couldn't keep up with her medical needs, but it's clear Bella has been loved. She is 16 and qualifies as a hospice adoption—her time may be limited, so she seeks someone who understands that what matters now is comfort and compassion. Gentle and easygoing, Bella enjoys simple pleasures—soft blankets, slow walks, a cozy bed, and kind words. Her tail wags for attention, though she’s initially shy. Once she trusts you, she becomes warmly affectionate. Bella alternates between restful days spent snoozing and brighter ones where she explores the house or yard, pausing often to sniff, stroll, and take in the world at her own pace. She walks happily on a harness, never in a rush. Bella is house trained, does well with pee pads, and is low-maintenance indoors. She enjoys being close but is also comfortable hanging out quietly nearby. She rides calmly in the car and carries herself with a peaceful presence. Bella can coexist with other calm, respectful dogs, though her energy suits households with other seniors or lower-energy pets. She gets along with cats, too. She does not love being left alone for long stretches and feels most at home with someone around frequently. Due to her advanced age, Bella is not spayed. She has just a few teeth left, so she requires soft, wet food for meals. She’ll receive a full veterinary evaluation soon and her needs will be updated. Bella isn’t looking for adventure; she’s simply eager for the kind of comfort and dignity every senior dog deserves. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
