Rebel – A Gentle Old Soul Looking for One Last Great Love Rebel has lived a full life, and now he’s quietly hoping for something simple and precious: a safe lap, a soft bed, and a human who won’t let him be forgotten. This senior sweetheart spends most of his days snoozing peacefully in his cozy playpen, where he feels secure and comforted. He uses wee-wee pads reliably in his space and will bark politely when he needs to go outside — a sweet little reminder of how hard he tries to do everything right, even at his age. Life has recently changed for Rebel in the most heartbreaking way. His beloved owner passed away, and Rebel has been grieving in his own quiet, gentle way. It’s clear he was cherished deeply, and he’s still searching for that sense of love and safety. He’s learning to walk with a harness and isn’t quite confident yet, so a fenced yard would make his world feel less scary. He’s okay with small female dogs and prefers to avoid pushy males. Children and cats are unknowns, and he’d be happiest in a calm, patient home — ideally with someone home most of the time or a senior who wants a soothing companion. Rebel isn’t demanding. He’s low-energy, soft-hearted, and easy to love. Mostly quiet, he saves his voice only to ask for something he needs. He adores snuggling, being gently doted on, and settling into a plush bed with someone close by. Rebel needs an angel — someone who sees the beauty in an old dog who just wants to belong again. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, gratitude-filled companion, Rebel will give you every ounce of affection he has left. His golden years deserve to be golden — maybe you’re the one who can make that happen. EVERY DOG HAS A STORY: Rebel's owner passed away and he has come to BFPA to find a forever home.

Overview:
The Chihuahua, a captivating breed known for its diminutive size, boasts an ancient and somewhat mysterious origin, with most theories pointing to Mexico as its birthplace, potentially descending from the "Techichi," a small companion dog of the Toltec civilization. Physically, they are easily recognizable by their small, compact bodies, large expressive eyes, and erect ears, appearing in both smooth and long-coated varieties, showcasing a vast array of colors and markings. Despite their tiny stature, Chihuahuas possess a big personality; they are often described as spirited, alert, and fiercely loyal to their owners, sometimes displaying a bold and confident demeanor. While their small size makes them exceptionally well-suited for apartment living, they thrive in homes where they receive ample attention and mental stimulation. They can be good family pets for older children who understand how to interact gently with a small dog, but their delicate build makes them less suitable for boisterous toddlers. Regarding health, Chihuahuas can be prone to certain conditions like patellar luxation, heart problems, and dental issues, making regular veterinary check-ups crucial for their well-being.
