About Belinda

Meet Belinda, a gentle and affectionate three-year-old terrier mix weighing in at just eight pounds. She may start off a bit shy, but with a little patience and kindness, she quickly warms up and enjoys head scratches from her new friends. Once she feels secure, she loves to cuddle, proving to be a comforting presence without being overly clingy. Belinda has a low to moderate energy level and is fond of belly tickles and wrestling with her toys. She's crate trained and demonstrates her smarts by following commands like sit, up, and stay. In quieter moments, you’ll find her peacefully sleeping through the night, whether next to you or in her cozy bed. Though she’s still getting used to city life, which includes building confidence on the leash and going potty outside, she’s already a pro at using pee pads. A calm and patient adopter who rewards her with praise and high-value treats will help her thrive. She's good with small dogs, having grown up with a twin sister. Belinda would thrive with someone who works from home, a first-time dog owner, or anyone seeking a sweet cafe buddy and snuggle companion. She’s a perfect fit for apartment living. What her foster says: "Belinda is the most gentle sweet girl that I have ever met. I dare you not to fall in love with her the moment you look into those little sparkling eyes."
