My name is Koe!

Meet Koe (pronounced like Joe with a K, after Koe Wetzel the country music star). He is a 7 year old, 5lb male chihuahua who came into rescue when his owner passed away. Koe has been neutered, vaccinated, got a complete dental, recovered from kennel cough, and his bloodwork and exam look good.  

Koe is a gentle little soul who loves to stay home where he feels safe, follow his person around the house, get up in your lap for belly rubs, and then fall asleep in your throw pillows. Oh, and he’s in love with his stuffed octopus. So you have to be willing to adopt the octopus too.

Koe is happy, fearless, and a joy to be around, but he is going to need the right owner. He does NOT like being dressed at all, even in a harness or leash. He also doesn’t particularly enjoy going to new places.... so he’d prefer an owner who doesn’t expect him to be adventurous or social outside the home. Someone who is home a lot would be ideal. And because Koe can be vocal when left alone, someone without shared walls and a willingness to work through some separation anxiety as he gets used to his new life would be great.

He is continuing to work on his house breaking. This can be a challenge with dogs of his size, so he will need someone who’s willing to be consistent and keep a close eye on him. (Especially since he won’t tolerate diapers or belly bands.)

In foster care, Koe has gotten along with all people that he’s met and has done well with dogs of all sizes. However, due to his small size, a home without small children or rambunctious large dogs would be best.

Koe is adoptable to homes in Tucson, Marana, Oro Valley, Catalina and Sahuarita only. His adoption fee is $275, with an additional $21 for PACC licensing.
