About Bella

Bella is a sweet and gentle Chihuahua mix who is about 11 years old. After being adopted from our shelter years ago, she returned to us when her adopter could no longer provide care. This lovely girl is shy at first, so be patient as she warms up, but once she does, she becomes the most affectionate companion. Currently in a foster home with dogs of all ages, Bella would also thrive as an only dog in a quiet setting where she can enjoy her golden years. She is spayed, fully vaccinated, and ready for her forever home. If you're ready to give Bella the love she deserves, consider applying to adopt her.
