Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Bella is a 4lb Chihuahua/Italian Greyhound mix with the most beautiful eyes who has been in rescue for quite some time. Bella came from an extremely abusive home and has needed some time to recover and learn how to trust humans again. She is an adorable little dog without a mean bone in her body. It took a while for us to see Bellas's personality, but she is a funny, quirky girl who just wants to be loved for who she is. She lives in her own little world and seems happy to do so. Bella is very easy going and does her own thing for the most part. She is not much for toys or treats but this girl loves her blankets! She will bury herself under them all day and night, so much so that sometimes you forget she’s there. Bella loves other dogs and although not required another small dog in her new home would help her continue to heal. Bella loves her person once she gets to know them, she loves to give kisses and snuggle on the couch under blankets with you. Although she has come very far in rescue she is still sometimes nervous about being picked up and the fast movements of children scare her. We would prefer her to live in a quieter, adult only home. Bella does well in a crate for short periods, but if left alone for longer, she will use her crate/bed as a bathroom. She is also not pad trained and has frequent accidents in the house. She will sometimes go to the bathroom outside if you take her, but it is really hit or miss with her. She will need someone patient and understanding to continue working with her. Bella is not leash trained, although we think she can be at some point. For now, though, she will need a secure fence or pen for outside. She does enjoy sitting outside in the sun with her foster mom and the other dogs. Bella doesn’t really know how to play with other dogs, but if dogs are playing, she will bounce around them and bark in a playful manner. Bella is very loved within the rescue and we want her to have a very special home with someone who understands the breed and how she was treated before. Bella is loving in her own way and good company. We have truly enjoyed watching her blossom into the dog she is today and we look forward to her finally getting her happy ever after. Bella is spayed, up to date with vaccines, microchipped, flea/worm treated and tested neg. for heartworm. Her adoption fee is $450Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 16, 2024, 2:07 pm
