Story
Looking for a pint-sized ray of sunshine to brighten your days? Say hello to Bella2! This gorgeous, 12-pound bundle of joy is a 5-year-old Shih Tzu sporting a fluffy, white coat and a heart overflowing with love. While her past chapters remain a bit of a mystery after being found as a stray, Bella2 is all about looking forward to her happiest chapter yet with you! At 5 years old, Bella2 hits the sweet spot of dog ownership. She is well past the chaotic, teething puppy stage, yet she still has plenty of pep in her step and years of love ahead of her! True to her classic Shih Tzu roots, Bella2 was practically born to be a devoted companion. Shih Tzus are famous for their affectionate, outgoing, and adaptable nature, thriving on human connection and cozy lap time. Bella2 takes this breed trait to heart: she loves making new friends and gets along with both children and other dogs. Bella2 has not had the opportunity to be introduced to cats, so it is unknown how she will be with them. Adopting an adult dog means her sweet personality is already shining through, though she does need a family ready to embrace the rewarding responsibility of helping her polish her manners. Because her leash, and crate training are currently works in progress, Bella2 will thrive with a patient, consistent family who can provide a steady routine, positive reinforcement, and plenty of praise as she learns the ropes. She is currently housetrained. Although she is housetrained, it is important to remember that accidents can occur while adjusting to a new home environment. Her fluffy white coat will also appreciate regular brushing and regular grooming appointments to keep her looking and feeling her best.If you are looking for a loyal sidekick who promises to always laugh at your jokes, keep your feet warm, and never judge your Netflix binges, Bella2 is your girl. Come meet her, your couch is practically begging for her!* When considering adoption, keep in mind that dogs thrive on structure and routine. They adjust much better when their owners are committed to providing consistency and stability.The adoption fee for Bella is $500. That includes the cost of spaying/neutering, up to date vaccinations, foster care, rescue and transportation fees.
