About Bellinzona

Bellinzona is a female Maltese who recently joined the rescue. At around 2 years old, this small dog weighs approximately 7.10 pounds. She was brought in through animal control after being part of a hoarding situation, where the conditions necessitated the removal of many dogs and some cats. We are taking time to ensure she receives the appropriate grooming and veterinary care she needs before she's available for adoption. Though Bellinzona is not yet open for applications, we want to keep her future forever home informed. She is known to get along well with both dogs and cats, which makes her a great addition for a family looking to expand their furry circle. We appreciate your patience as she transitions into care, and we will update our community as soon as she is ready for adoption. Stay tuned for further updates!
