About Bella

Beautiful Miss Bella is ready to find a family that will shower her with love. She came to Animal Friends Connection with her brother Leo and father Milo after their previous family moved away, leaving them behind. Fortunately, a caring neighbor intervened, but with nine dogs to care for, the situation became overwhelming. Bella is about 9 months old and weighs just 5.8 pounds, making her a petite Maltese mix. Having spent much of her life outdoors, she’ll need a patient family to help her transition into an indoor companion. She requires some potty and leash training, along with regular grooming to keep her long coat in top shape. Bella is scheduled to be spayed soon, and although she may need a little extra help, this tiny girl is eager to learn how wonderful life can be with love and care. Your new best friend is just one click away.
