About Bella D

Meet Bella D, a tiny Yorkshire Terrier with a serious case of cuteness overload—her foster thinks she could pass for a professional model. Bella is a sweet, quiet girl who takes her time getting comfortable and loves exploring in a safe, fenced yard. She hasn’t had much experience with collars or leashes, so she benefits from gentle encouragement as she learns. Meeting new people can make her a little shy at first, but once she senses kindness, she’ll quietly follow you from room to room at her own pace—though she's more likely to be curled up with her best friend, Daizy, than on your lap. Bella is deeply bonded to her buddy Daizy and they must be adopted together. Their friendship is non-negotiable: they share everything from naps to crate time. Bella is crate trained and house trained, with clear signals when she needs to go out—though if you miss them, her accidents are tiny. She’s independent, routines keep her happy, and her affectionate nature comes through when she's ready. Let Bella and Daizy bring twice the sweetness into your world.
