Ginger Bella

My name is Ginger Bella. I’m a 9-year-old female long-haired Chihuahua, and I weigh just under 7 pounds. Like many Chihuahuas, I love burrowing under covers and snuggling in blankets. Before I came to Angels Among Us, I lived with an older couple, and my whole world revolved around my person—the husband. We didn’t see many other people, and I wasn’t around other animals. It was very sad when my person had to move into assisted living and couldn’t take me with him. I ended up in a shelter before Angels rescued me. That was a very happy day!<br/><br/>I had to adjust to a new home with more than two people and two other dogs. It took me a few weeks, but I eventually realized they were kind and that I liked being there. We take walks every evening, and I’m getting very good on a leash. We also spend a lot of time in the fenced backyard. I’ve discovered that I like sunbathing on the deck, rolling in the grass, and meeting new people. It felt a little daunting at first, but now it’s not scary at all—it just means more people to pet me and tell me what a pretty girl I am. I’m not scared at the vet’s office anymore, and I even cooperate for the groomer.<br/><br/>I do have some medical conditions that require lifelong medication. I have a heart<br/>murmur and congestive heart failure. Fluid can build up around my heart and lungs, making me cough if I don’t take my medicine. I’m pretty good about taking my pills when they’re hidden in a tasty treat. Most of the time, you’d think I’m just a normal dog doing normal dog things.<br/><br/>My foster mom says I can have a “Chihuahua attitude” sometimes. I don’t like being startled when I’m sleeping, and I’m not a fan of taking pills, which is why my foster mom hides them in treats. She thinks I don’t know they’re in there. I do—but the treats are just too tempting not to gobble up.<br/><br/>An Adoption Application for this dog can be found and submitted online. http://www.angelsrescue.org/adopt/adoption-forms<br/><br/>Please be sure to like our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/angelsrescue.<br/><br/>Email inquiry@angelsrescue.org<br/><br/>Note: Some apartments and neighborhoods have breed restrictions.
