BELLINI - TERRIER / CHIHUAHUA / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Terrier / Chihuahua / Mixed (medium coat). If you’re looking for a little dog with a huge heart and a serious talent for cuddling, Bellini might be your girl. Bellini is an 11-month-old, 15-pound Chihuahua mix who is as sweet as they come. Her favorite place in the world is quite possibly your lap. She loves being close to her people, getting belly rubs, and simply being part of whatever you’re doing. She’s the kind of dog who wants to be your little shadow and will happily choose hanging out indoors with her person over almost anything else. But don’t let her love of cuddles fool you—Bellini is still a young pup with plenty of playful energy! She loves other dogs and enjoys playing with canine friends of all sizes. She has even been going to doggie camp to socialize and has done wonderfully. She would be thrilled to have another friendly dog in her forever home to play with. Bellini is also wonderful with children. When a child or adult approaches her for some attention, she has been known to immediately flop over for belly rubs. She can be a little shy when meeting new people, but there is no aggression behind her hesitation. Give her a moment to sniff you and decide you’re okay, and before long, you’ll have a new best friend. She is also a pretty easy little companion. Bellini is crate trained, comfortable living indoors, and leash trained. She may initially protest being put on the leash because she would much rather be picked up, but once she gets moving, she settles in and walks nicely. She is accustomed to having a doggie door and enjoys being inside with her people. Bellini is spayed, approximately 15 pounds, and has had no known medical or behavioral issues reported. She has no bite history and has never shown aggression toward people or other dogs. Her ideal home is one where she won't be left alone for long stretches every day. Bellini absolutely thrives on human companionship and wants a family who will include her in their daily life. She would love a home with someone who works from home, has a flexible schedule, or simply has plenty of time to give her the companionship and attention she adores. Bellini isn't looking for anything complicated. She wants a lap, a loving family, a few belly rubs, a dog friend to play with, and someone who will let her be their little shadow. If that sounds like the kind of companion you've been looking for, Bellini would love to meet you. If you are interested in adopting, please visit the I.C.A.R.E.
