Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This smiley little guy is Plato, an 8 year old chihuahua that would just love a great home of his own with a best friend to snuggle up with at night. Plato came to us from our Newark facility after this tiny guy was found wandering the streets all alone. Plato picked up a nasty cold while out on his own, but he has since had plenty of rest, good medical care, and TLC, and now he's happy, healthy, and ready to go home. Please don't overlook Plato because of his age....he's got lots of spunk and energy, and has many good years ahead of him to bounce around and have fun. You might also overlook Plato because of the way he acts while he is in his area indoors. He has a bit of chihuahua-tude when you go to see him but please, ask to see him outside and you'll see what a great guy he is. Plato takes a little while to learn to trust you but once he does, he is truly your best friend for life. He bonds quickly with people and when he spots one of his friends across the parking lot, he jumps for joy and simply must go and greet them. He will make a loving little companion and lap-warmer for some lucky person. Plate will need a home with no children under 12, but he seems just fine with other well behaved dogs, and is eager to start life over again in a happy new home. File#24788 5/29/15
