Bella - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Alafaya, Florida

Hi! I'm Bella! I'm an 11-year-old, 6 lb. tiny Chihuahua with a heart that is anything but tiny! I may be petite, but I bring BIG snuggles, an even bigger personality, and plenty of love to share with my forever family!

Favorite Things: Snuggles are at the very top of Bella's list! Her favorite pastime is hopping into your lap, getting nice and cozy, and settling in for a long, relaxing nap. She's an easy girl to please — give her a comfy lap, a few yummy treats, and all the attention she desires, and you'll have a best friend for life. Bella is ready to be your professional cuddle buddy!

Training & Manners: Beautiful Bella is a sweet and well-mannered little lady. She walks well on a leash, tolerates car rides, and firmly believes that every human bed should have a special spot reserved just for her. She does well with her housetraining and is happy to follow her people wherever they go.

Health & Care: This senior sweetheart has a clean bill of health! She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped. Bella does have some age-related joint inflammation, but thankfully, she only needs medication as needed to keep her comfortable.

Other Animals: Bella has experience living with other small dogs and has done well with them! She's happy to have canine companions, provided they understand one very important rule: Bella's cuddle time with her humans is sacred. She has not yet been introduced to cats.

Children: A home with older, respectful children would be a good fit for Bella.

Ideal Home: Bella would flourish in either a single-family home or apartment-style living — she isn't picky! What matters most to this little lady is having a family who is home more often than not and will happily indulge her desire for companionship, attention, and plenty of snuggle sessions. After all, Bella has spent 11 years perfecting the art of being a lap dog, and she's ready to put those skills to good use!

Overall: Bella is a sweet, affectionate, outgoing little girl who has so much love left to give. She may be a senior, but don't let that fool you — this tiny Chihuahua is ready to be someone's beloved companion, couch buddy, and permanent lap warmer. Bella is looking for a family who will cherish her and let her spend her golden years exactly where she belongs: right by their side.
