Description

Posted Breed: Chihuahua. Hi there - my name is Chiwi and I'm a 10 year old Chihuahua. I'm a very good boy looking for a forever home. I have spent most of my life by myself, chained and cold in a back yard. I love people, but my owner decided she just didn't want the trouble of a dog anymore and now I'm worried that I will never find a loving home. I am a very affectionate boy who would do well in a home without other animals - I'm scared of other dogs because I may have been abused. My foster mom says I am crate trained, and I am obedient and would be a perfect companion for an older couple or a single person. I am a loving companion who likes to go in the car, cuddle, and I will take naps with you whenever you want. I am content to do anything, as long as I'm with you. I am easy to care for, and I have been thoroughly checked out by a local vet and have all my shots. Since I am older, I am not rambunctious, but I still have plenty of love and life to give. I have been lonely and scared most of my life. My one wish is to find a forever home with a person who will let me be their companion and best friend. Won't you please help me?

1. Do your research – find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
2. Decide what you can handle – before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you’re about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don’t have time for potty training and obedience classes you’ll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies – It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don’t be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet.
4. Start looking… Once you know what you’re looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
5. Meet in person. Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can’t get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
