Bella's Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.<br/><br/>Meet Bella, a sweet senior Shih Tzu around 9 years old who is looking for a quiet, loving home to spend her golden years. Bella is mostly blind, but that doesn’t stop her from enjoying life—she gets around just fine and has a gentle, trusting spirit.<br/><br/>She is house trained and does well with both cats and dogs. Bella is a true little lady who isn’t asking for much—just a soft bed, a comfy spot, and a family to love her. She would be perfect for someone looking for a calm, affectionate companion.<br/><br/>Adopting a senior could be ideal for someone who wants a dog without the super high energy level that some puppies or young dogs may have, and more for those who would be content with a couch potato most of the time instead. Senior dogs often have a calmer, more laid back demeanor which could potentially make for an easier transition when coming into a new home too. I’m sure these girls will fit in with their new family in no time once adopted.<br/><br/>She is super friendly and love pets and treats! Will you be the one to give these sweet girls a chance?
