My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:


This is Precious! She is a 13 year old Chihuahua/Shih Tzu mix. We took in precious from an elderly family member who passed away. She is very much a lap dog and need more attention than we can give her. She is somewhat active, but has slowed down in the last few years as she has gotten older. We've had her for about 5 years now. She is taken to the vet regularly, has regular dental care, and taken to the groomers about every 2 months. She has no serious health issues that we know of, just normal things related to aging.
She is a little hard of hearing and has trouble seeing at night due to her age. She is unable to hold her urine for longer periods so she uses puppy pads when we are not home to let her in and out.
She is a great dog but now that we have 2 little ones, we don't have much time to give her. I think she would benefit from being with someone who is retired. Please reach out if you have questions. We want her to go to a good, loving home.
