Bella will turn 3 years old in spring of 2017.  Her life expectancy is 15+ years. She is a
pure bread Yorkie with long legs and a floppy right ear. She is house broken. She is so
sweet with people and children. Bella weighs about 10 lbs. Eats 1/3 cup "Hunden
Flocken” dry dog food mixed with chicken scrap & hot water once daily. Bella is good
on a leash when we go for walks and she relieves herself in out back yard. Her poops
resemble marbles - firm to pick up.
 I'm looking for a good local home, so I can stay in touch, help if you want to go out
of town with  boarding and will offer free biweekly grooming/ bathing if you adopt her.
She would be a perfect first dog for a family with small children. She seems fine with
cats & chickens. I do think she catches rats in our back yard - but that could be our
other dog. I've had dogs my whole life and I'm happy to teach you how to care for
a dog if it is your first time.
I paid quite a lot for her 1 year ago. There will be a rehoming fee to adopt her.
I love Bella and don't want to give her up but her frisky aggression toward our other
dog is not conducive to peaceful living. I Have been looking for an experienced animal
aggression behaviorist but haven't heard back after leaving lots of messages. My
husband and 11 yr old son "had it" a while ago and I have to say I'm at the
end of my rope.
She is a sweet sweet dog and I wish I could keep her so if you are an expert level dog
behaviorist or trainer - your advice is welcome. When I adopted Bella the CL post said
"she must be an only dog" and now I understand why. I though I could change her
but I made a mistake.
If you are interested in adopting Bella as an only dog or can help break her aggression
toward our other dog please call me, Alice 415-272-0596
