Bella - Miniature Poodle Dog for Adoption in Laguna Beach, California

Bella is a 14-year-old Miniature Poodle who was surrendered to a high-kill shelter. But this tiny senior is proving that age is just a number!
Tiny but mighty, Bella is curious, brave, surprisingly agile, and still loves exploring. She walks well on leash and enjoys staying close to her people.
Bella is also a total sweetheart. She loves head scratches, will ask to be picked up for a little cuddle, and gives the cutest little nudge when she wants more attention.
She enjoys soft treats, doggy ice cream, cozy beds, and naps—although she insists on inspecting every bed before choosing her favorite!
And yes... she’s a fashionista! Bella happily tolerates outfit changes and seems ready for her next look.
Because she’s still quite adventurous, Bella will need supervision around stairs, couches, and open doors. She uses doggy stairs to get onto the couch but may forget she’s supposed to use them on the way down!
This little old lady has so much personality and plenty of love left to give.
After everything she’s been through, Bella deserves to spend her golden years knowing she is finally home.
Could you be Bella’s forever family?
