Syd here and although I am a senior, these Chihuahua genes just don’t quit. You can expect many more years with me. The reason that I am in need of a family is because my human died and no one was able to offer me a home. It was devastating and I never want to be without a fixed address again.

I am a sweet and sensitive dog, in need of a loving person to give me a place to call home – a home with a soft bed or two, some tasty food, and a whole lot of love! I get along with other dogs but would prefer those that accept that I don’t need to be roughhousing all day long! I am intimidated by children as I have never lived with them. When it comes to rambunctious activity and grabby hands, my sense of humor fails me. After a nice walk, I know how to chill and take it easy. That’s the great thing about a mature dog like me.

I do love the sound of my own voice, so apartments and condos are out of the question for me. It is possible that I will need a refresher in toilet training but be patient, I am a smarty pants. Don’t forget just because I am a wee guy doesn’t mean I don’t have to use these legs. I want to stay in shape and ensure that I am fit and healthy for the second chapter of my life. I want to make my senior years with you my best ones.

I am 8 years old and don’t want to waste another day of my life stewing about my past – I’m ready to take on the world one paw at a time. So, are you looking for a friend? I could sure use one. Fill in the Application Form and ask for Syd.
