Bella is such a sweet soul. When she first came to SBHS, she was quiet nervous and eager to get away from all the noise and hubbub. But once she got settled in, we were able to see how loving and happy Bella is. She is a pretty easy-going girl who often has a smile on her lovely face.Interested in learning more?

I was transfered to the SBHS to be adopted. I'm still here waiting...While I'm waiting I'll describe my perfect home. I have been in a foster home that has been amazing (because I get really cool treats and a huge bed) but it's time to find my permanent home. I'm a very handsome 8yo neutered male chihuahua mix. I have a really hard time seeing because I have cataracts, but my hearing and sense of smell are amazing. I just love to fall asleep in your lap, especially when I am wrapped in a blanket or towel (I call it the Justin burrito). Because I can only see a bit of light I really need the time to get to know you and figure out what you are doing. Are you trying to feed me or pick me up or what?.....TRUST is a must and it may take a short bit of time. I love routine. I'm housebroken. I prefer quiet households without a lot of traffic. I need to be the only animal in the house, ok maybeI could live with a fish. I love sleeping in bed and I enjoy sleeping in...ok,ok I just enjoy sleeping period! I like to go for walks but not too far since I have short legs and I'm 8. I don't want people to just reach out and grab me or touch me because I can't see and I don't know what you are doing, that is why I prefer to trust just 1 or 2 people so that I have them trained the way I want. I'm very quiet unless new people walk in the door then I will bark to alert you they are here. I currently go to work with my foster person and I stay in the office with the human until we go to the house. I wasn't sure about car rides at first but they aren't too bad, I usually just sit in my seat and then lay down. Did I mention I like treats and sleeping. Interested in learning more?
