Dogs

There are three Chihuahuas looking for a home. You might remember Chrissie, she has come back to us and is looking for a home with NO other dogs, NO children. She can be quite snappy with little kids, other dogs, and even visitors, so she would be perfect for a lonely older person who wants someone to talk to and can put her outside when visitors come over.

There is a long coat male, 7 years, very overweight, and a 6 year old female smooth coat of 6 years. These two should go together if possible. Their owners have dementia and are feeding these two constantly, so walking and less feeding will be required!!

Rusty the therapist

On 11th October our daughter was injured in a car accident and will have to spend many months in therapy and physio. During the past three weeks while we have been visiting her she has been asking for her little Chihuahua, Rusty, to come for a visit. Finally we were able to take him to see her and the reunion was just gorgeous to see. Every day now Rusty goes to see our daughter and sleep on her chest! Thought you might enjoy these pictures!

BANDIT

Bandit is a male "stud" dog (he made some gorgeous little puppies during his stud life) now retired! He is about 8 years old, very shy. He is not the cuddly type of little dog as he has not had any experience of that! He is quite happy inside and outside, and would make a wonderful little "watch dog". When he has been with you for three or four days he gets more confidence and will come inside and follow you around, even sniff your fingers and take a little chicken from your hand! Just patience needed! Bandit would make a good companion for an older person who just wants someone to "talk" to, and have as company.

From June Bandit has allowed us to pat him, pick him up, cut his nails, brush his coat, and even "play" little games. We have been encouraging him to join in the "play" time and he is doing this. He now allows Mayer to pat him and pick him up, giving him a cuddle!! This little man has come a really long way!! He is just gorgeous!
