Bella (2) (On Trial 4/11/13)

Bella is a darling, 7 yr old, female Maltese. She would love to be someone's treasured princess and in return will adore you forever. She enjoys cuddles and likes to rest her head on your lap when sitting beside you. She is a very quite girl, not a barker at all. She is housetrained and not a fussy eater.

Bella is an inside dog and needs to be allowed inside, at least when people are home (and ideally safe inside when people are not home), and to sleep inside. She has a beautiful, soft white coat which doesn't shed so she which needs regular brushing (every few days depending on length), bathing (every few weeks) and clipping (every 4 to 8 weeks) to keep her comfortable and beautiful.

Bella adores people. She would be very happy as an only dog. She's choosy about her doggy friends so if you have another dog they would have to meet first to see if they get along. Bella wouldn't enjoy a busy household with small children so she would be best in a home with no children or with children over 10 years old.

Bella has been vet checked and is healthy and happy and eager to begin the second half of her life in a brand new home.
