Maltese and Poodle Dogs Available for Adoption in San Diego, California

Bella may be small in size, but she is overflowing with love. At 8.5 years young, she still has so much life ahead of her and so much affection to give. She is incredibly gentle, calm, and loving - the kind of companion who will quietly fill your home with warmth.

Bella absolutely loves belly rubs and will happily soak up every bit of attention you give her. She's the sweetest little girl who just wants to be close to her person.

She would do best in a home with adults or children over 5 years old, where she can feel safe, relaxed, and cherished.

Bella recently lost her owner, and her world changed overnight. Now she's looking for a new family to love her and give her the comfort and security she deserves for the rest of her life.
