About Bella bonded with Rocky

Meet Bella, a delightful 6-year-old female Chihuahua, and her best friend Rocky, a male Chihuahua mix. Together, they form an inseparable pair who must be adopted as a duo. Rocky sweeps everyone off their feet with his affectionate nature, eager to get belly rubs at any chance. Bella takes a little more time to warm up—about five minutes—before she snuggles up close. They both thrive on love and positive reinforcement, showcasing their sweet personalities. Bella and Rocky need a home where someone is around often, as they love being with their people. They would thrive in a family with older children, as they can connect well with multiple family members. Both are crate trained and progressing with potty training, though they prefer a secure fenced yard because they’re apprehensive about leash walking. If you reside within an hour of Elkhart, IN, consider bringing this lovable pair into your home. Click apply to start the adoption process.
