Bella Shih Tzu Cincinnati, OH

Bella and Johnnie come to us from a home that could no longer afford to keep them. Fortunately, we were able to bring this adorable duo into STAF.

Bella is a very, very sweet little Shih Tzu who likes nothing better than to be carried around like the darling baby that she is :o).

Bella is very mellow and rarely makes a peep. Bella does very well with other dogs and she and Johnnie make quite the pair. Although they do not necessarily need to be adopted together they do get along very well and if possible if would be great to see them together in a home. However, as always, STAF’s number one priority is that every dog gets the home best-suited for that dog.

Both Bella and Johnnie love their humans and relish all the pets, rubs and baby-talk they can get. :o)

Bella’s estimated date of birth is in 2007.
