Story
Meet Munchkin, a senior 9-pound Japanese Chin looking for a quiet retirement home where he can spend his golden years. Munchkin's age is estimated to be 12+ years. He's visually impaired as well as hearing impaired, and although he can't see or hear when the refrigerator door opens. Munchkin recently had a cardiac ultrasound; his heart murmur is graded as a 5/6. But there is no underlying cardiac damage. A veterinary partner does not recommend medication at this time. Munchkin's house manners are perfect. His foster home has a fenced-in yard and a deck with six steps. They carry Munchkin down the stairs, place him on the grass, and return inside the house within two minutes. Munchkin can go up interior stairs but will need someone to carry him down. Most people observing Munchkin would find it hard to believe he's visually impaired. He appears to be able to see larger objects during the day but has a difficult time with small items like his food bowl. Due to Munchkin's size, age, and health, we believe Munchkin's ideal home includes a quiet adult-only household. Want to learn more?

We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label. We expect that all adopted dogs will enroll in a formal dog training class with their new owners. Obedience and training classes are an excellent way to learn more about your newly adopted dog, gain handling and training experience, and improve your relationship with your pet.
