New update: Nella loves to run and play with other dogs - the bigger the better we learned!!!! For real, Nella is the girl that makes you laugh because she is zooming around with the big dogs and then cry because she jumps into your arms for snuggles. This is NOT your average Chihuhua mix - Nella is a class of our own and it's the best class!

Say hello to Nella, our petite princess with a big heart and an even bigger personality! This adorable 7-pound Chihuahua mix may be small in size, but she's overflowing with charm, cuddles, and tail wags. At just 4 years old, Nella has mastered the art of being a loyal lapdog and is ready to share her love with a furever family who will adore her as much as we do.

Nella came to us from a local shelter, and she hasn’t stopped smiling since. She’s a total sweetheart who loves to be held, showered with affection, and carried around like the little queen she is. Whether she’s curled up in a cozy bed or prancing around with her tail wagging like crazy, Nella brings happiness to every room she enters.

She’s brand new to our rescue, so we’re still learning about her unique quirks and preferences—but one thing’s already clear: she’s a lovable companion looking for a soft place to land. If you are searching for a tiny best friend with a heart full of love, Nella just might be your next companion. Get ready to fall in love!

Nella comes with 30 days of free post-adoption support through Petcademy.org. This benefit includes free access to Petcademy's team of trainers/behaviorists and online materials to help you settle your new furry friend into your home. You can text unlimited questions to Petcademy, and they'll respond within 24 hours (Monday through Friday).
