My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Maltese/Chihuahua mix; Female; 10 months; 6 ¾ pounds
Bel Air is a sweetheart who has had a hard start to life. She came to us from a puppy mill where she was not given the proper socialization and love that she deserved. Bel Air will need some extra love and care to help her learn that humans are friends. She will do best living with a confident canine friend that can help mentor her and show her through life. Bel Air has been working on her leash skills and is improving every day! Although she is on the timid side, Bel Air is eager for life and adventure! If you want to help this sweetheart grow into a courageous pup, come meet Bel Air.
