Bella - Rat Terrier / Chihuahua / Mixed Dog For Adoption

n that nothing holds her back — she confidently explores her surroundings, mastering stairs to the bed and couch-jumping with superhero-level aim! Bella is house-trained and made herself at home right away! She is crate-trained but does not like being confined, so she is trusted to free-roam the house. She loves to be close to her people, often letting you know she's “found” you with a gentle touch of her wet nose on your leg. She’s a world-class cuddler and will happily snooze near you all day while you work. She is very curious about all dogs, and would benefit from another confident dog in the house due to her blindness. She does not have much experience with cats or young children. While she’s calm and laid-back most of the time, she still enjoys a good walk and a sniff around the neighborhood, preferably with a canine buddy by her side. She would do well with just a couple short walks each day just to let her sniff and get some exercise. Bella has used a halter to find her way around but does not need it at all times. She also walks on a leash easily with or without the halter. Bella's foster home does not have any stairs, so if there are any in her future home, she will need supervision. A few steps going outside may be doable, but her owner will need to make sure she doesn’t fall down them, especially cement stairs. If you’re looking for a low-maintenance, loving, and inspiring little friend, Bella is ready to steal your heart (and your blanket).

However, we will consider up to 250 miles if the foster agrees to travel requirements and staff approval.
