Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua (medium coat). This dog has been added to our Call-to-Action List. He is a sweet senior Chihuahua who is blind, may be hearing impaired, and is managing several age-related medical concerns but he remains friendly, ambulatory, eating, and interested in interacting with us. We're seeking an adopter or rescue partner able to give this little guy a comfortable end of life and pamper him for whatever time he has left. We do feel that humane euthanasia could be an appropriate outcome for him in the near future as he has shown some signs of physical decline in our care, but would love to see him have an opportunity in a final loving home. We will consider a short-term foster placement to help us evaluate Friendâs comfort, daily functioning, and quality of life outside the shelter. This would be an assessment period only and would not include an expectation of long-term foster care or ongoing medical treatment. If Friend is doing well and you would like him to remain in your home beyond the assessment period, we would kindly ask you to consider adoption.

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.
