About This Dog

Bella & Poppy's ideal home

Meet Bella the 7 year old Long coat Chihuahua and Poppy the 8 and a half year old Smooth coat Chihuahua. This sweet little pair on the sniff for their new family. They don’t really have any interest in toys, preferring to play with each other and go on sniffy strolls before snuggling up together in their bed for snuggly snoozes, Poppy takes a little longer to get to know you, Bella being the more confident of the two, but they both like cuddles they will happily sit next to you on in your lap for gentle fusses. They will be your shadows, following you around the house and just keeping an eye on what you’re up to. This lovely pair are looking for a new family now.

Could you be Bella & Poppy's perfect match?

Bella & Poppy are a looking for a home together, they are looking for a calm and relaxed home with adopters who take them on leisurely strolls followed by a cuddle and a quiet snooze on the sofa. They can live with secondary school aged children who will let them approach on their terms, who will play with them nicely and will understand when they need a break and give them space to relax and rest when needed. Bella & Poppy will be going home together, they would like to be the only pets in the home so they can have all of the attention to themselves, although they could have calm and polite walking buddies. They have some training under their belt, they know their names and know “down”, “stay” and “bed”, they aren’t super interested in engaging in training any further but may be enticed with the help of tasty treat. Bella & Poppy can settle in the home as long as they are together, so could be left for up to 4 hours, this would need to be built up gradually after they have had time to settle into their new home. Bella & Poppy are both on daily medication and they will need to meet their adopters a few times prior to going home so please bear this in mind when applying.
