My story

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

The tiny aristocrat of your dreams you never knew you needed! This dapper chihuahua has a beautifully unique brindle coat and a personality that's positively royal. Tarquin may be small in stature, but his heart is filled with king-sized love. Whether he's curling up in his favorite blanket throne or charming everyone with his polite manners, Tarquin is the ideal companion for anyone seeking a loyal friend with a little extra refinement. He's gentle, enjoys quiet moments, and is ready to reign supreme in a loving forever home. If you're looking for a pup who's both dignified and delightful, Tarquin is your man!

Here's some notes from his foster:

Sweet little Tarquin is all about hanging out with his people. He is the best snuggler and will happily lay next to you while watching TV or reading a book. He also loves meandering around the garden; where he keeps me company. He is good on a leash and enjoys his short walks - always happy to meet new people with gentle introductions. He's met and been very polite to humans, dogs, goats and horses.

He likes to be carried a lot and is good in his pet sling/carrier. You will need to build up trust before he is comfortable being picked up. He loves mealtime and is a good eater, however he eats in small portions so I usually feed 3-4 small meals a day - like a hobbit - 2 breakfasts and 2 dinners.

He has regular habits with his morning and evening walks and no accidents in the home. He takes his medicine politely. He is super chill, a few walks, and he likes to be included in the room where the conversations are taking place. He's a champ! He also has the softest ears and loves to be scratches behind his ears.

Additional adoption info

All of our senior mutts are vaccinated, spayed/neutered, microchipped, and given flea/tick/dewormer medication. Regular adoptions are typically $250, and there is no adoption fee for senior adopters and Hospice adoptions, though we love donations to help pay it forward for the next mutt!
