Bella Shih Tzu Mix Hopkinton, MA

Meet Bella! She is about seven years old, 26 pounds, and looks like she has some Shih-Tzu in her mix although her paperwork says Beagle. Bella came to us after her owner passed away. In her foster home, Bella is showing that she is house and crate trained and walks great on leash (and enjoys her walks!). These are new skills as her previous owner did not take her out and used pee pads. She loves to play with toys and even knows the names of toys. She is very intelligent. Bella's ideal home would be with no other dogs, but cats are fine. She would enjoy being with people who are home all day and no kids.

Her foster says: "Before being rescued, Bella didn't have a lot of experiences. Her owner was elderly and trained her to use pee pads and fed her a lot of people food. She has come a very long way! Bella could live in any home type. She is quiet and entertains herself easily. She walks great on leash and seems to really enjoy her walks. "
