Meet Bud, the resilient and charming 9.5-year-old Chihuahua mix with a heart of gold and a few adorable quirks. At just 10 pounds, this white and tan little gentleman may have some special needs, but he doesn’t let them slow him down. Despite being diabetic and nearly blind, Bud is thriving on his twice-daily insulin shots (Novolin N, an affordable $25 from Walmart) and prescription WD dog food. He’s proof that with a little extra care, life can still be full of joy and cuddles!
Bud is a pro at navigating his environment, memorizing the layout of his foster home and backyard like a champ. He gets along well with other dogs, though slow introductions are a must so he can learn their scents and feel comfortable. This little guy is crate-trained, house-trained (as long as he’s let out regularly), and sleeps soundly through the night. If he does get up for a midnight wander, it’s usually just to stretch his legs or let you know it’s potty time.
One of Bud’s favorite pastimes? Snuggling up on the couch for cuddles and giving kisses. He’ll let you know when it’s time to hop down, adding to his endearing personality. He’s the perfect balance of affectionate and independent, making him a wonderful companion for a family who can provide him with the stability he needs.
Bud is looking for a calm, kid-free (under 10) home with a backyard where he can roam and explore safely. His ideal family will be committed to his care routine, providing him with his insulin shots, prescription food, and the love he so deserves. In return, Bud promises unconditional loyalty, endless snuggles, and years of companionship.
