Before she ever set paw in the shelter, 2-year-old Belly had already been through more than most. Weighing just under 6 pounds, this Chihuahua mix was hit by a car and suffered a fractured pelvis—and then, as if that weren’t enough, she also battled and beat parvo. But Belly is nothing if not resilient. Today, she walks with ease, wags with hope, and is ready for the second chance she’s fought so hard for.

🦴 Healing beautifully from a fractured pelvis—she’s walking strong!
💪 Parvo survivor—this girl is tiny but tough
😴 Quiet, low-maintenance, and sleeps peacefully through the night
🚽 100% potty pad trained
🐕 Gets along well with other small, calm dogs
