Overview

Meet Bella, a sweet and gentle senior companion looking for her forever home.

Bella is a pure Dachshund with a calm and loving demeanor. At approximately 14 years young, this 11-pound black and tan sweetheart still enjoys her walks but is equally content to curl up next to you on the couch. She came to Little Paws as an owner surrender and is now looking for her next loving family.

Environment

Bella has a relaxed energy level, enjoying short walks and playtime but also appreciating her downtime. She's fully potty trained and doesn't require a fenced yard. She's very content being left to her own devices, making her a perfect companion for someone with a moderate schedule. Bella doesn't need a crate and does well in homes with shared walls as she rarely barks.

Pets & People

This gentle girl is a social butterfly but can be fearful or get overwhelmed around big or energetic dogs. Bella gets along wonderfully with small, calm dogs and people of all ages. She has a chill, welcoming demeanor with strangers and enjoys lounging around with her canine companions. At the dog park, she plays well when comfortable and is generally a laid-back, easygoing friend. She's gentle when taking treats and has no food aggression issues.

Health

Bella has no teeth, but it won’t hold her back as long as she has soft food. 

Traveling

Bella is a dream travel companion! She does great in the car, preferring to curl up and sleep next to you in the passenger seat. There are no limits on how far she can travel, making her adaptable for various adopters.

Bella is available for adoption from Jacksonville, Florida. Please email lauryngallimore@gmail.com with any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above. The adoption fee for Bella is $250.
