About Belle LA

Meet Belle LA, a charming Southern belle who's about 9 years old. This delightful gray-and-brown Dachshund has a soft, velvet-like coat and a sweet personality to match. As a professional belly-rub recipient, she loves to play fetch and has a knack for collecting stuffies, often keeping her favorite toy close by. When she’s not on the hunt for her next treasure, you’ll find her happily snuggling in your lap or settling down for a nap beside you. Belle is house trained and has a peaceful relationship with cats, but she does have a few quirks. She prefers not to be crated and thrives in a home without that restriction. Belle can be protective during meal times, so she eats separately and benefits from consistent positive guidance. Additionally, she has some culinary curiosities that include paper towels and napkins, so careful supervision is key. While she may be a bit anxious during thunderstorms or car rides alone, a cozy spot and some comforting belly rubs can work wonders. Currently, she has a Grade 3 heart murmur, but this doesn't affect her day-to-day life. Belle is eagerly waiting for her forever home. If you think she might be the one, apply today!
