My story

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

~compassionate adoption fee applies, if serious about adoption please email caarescue@gmail.com~

My name is Lenny! Abandoned as a senior by my family I cannot tell you what my life was like before my awesomesauce foster mom came to pick me up at the shelter but I can tell you what my life is like now
IT IS AMAZING!
In foster care I have pugs to hang out with and even cats! I love them all so much, they are great company for when my foster mom leaves to go to work.
I am left alone full work day, uncrated with no destruction whatsoever. Happy to snooze the day away waiting patiently for her return
I do, do my business outside when I am outside but can have accidents in the home though when left for longer periods of time. I think it is normal based on my age and also being in a new home learning all the new rules. But I am a smart little man so I hope I can figure out how not to make little mistakes.
Don’t let these pics of me fool you … I look like I could be a puppy lab but I am a 12 year old Chihuahua mix!
I am perfect walking on the leash and I love my mini walks very much.
And while I am not overly vocal per say when the pugs start barking I am more than happy to join in even though I have absolutely no idea why I am barking! Just seems like a lot of fun to me or maybe we are practising for when we go Christmas caroling around the neighborhood to sing to the neighbors!?!
I am a little standoffish with people, I desperately want loving so very much but am just shy and do not know how to ask for it. So a calm and patient and loving home would be ideal for me. Clearly I did not get a lot of cuddles in the past as they seem quite foreign to me now when my foster mama gives them to me. I can tell you though that I do love the attention very much.
I have not been around any children but at 12 years old I think I would prefer the grandkids visiting for a couple of hours rather than living in an active bustling loud home with young children. I just want to chill and hang out and go for walks and nap and eat! I arrived in foster care quite skinny so even though I am 12lbs I probably could gain another couple of pounds to be at a healthier weight.
I am a little stressed on car rides and need the emotional support of kind words and pets to let me know that everything is going to be ok. Clearly I am just not that used to them so maybe the more often I get out for mini drives the more my confidence will build… who knows?
I asked my foster mom what was my WORST quality when I was writing my profile and she responded that the worst thing about me is that I am ABSOLUTELY PERFECT … I love my foster mom, she always makes me feel like I am a Number One Top Dog! I am not used to feeling that way about myself but boy-oh-boy I can tell you I am learning to love this feeling.
Foster mom wanted to add her own little note about me to my profile so here is what she has to say:
“You can see that he had a hard life. He is unsure on how to behave in a house.
He wants cuddles and to be pet, but he doesn't know how to ask for it.
He needs a quiet home, with a soft bed for him to lie in.
He is a sweet, sweet dog and I am soooo Happy to have taken him in!
We will have a great Christmas together!!”

A 3-Step process to adopt one of our foster dogs.
1. Fill the adoption form. It might seem long, but it’s the best way to find the right dog for you and your family!
2. We’ll arrange a meeting with the foster family of the dog you want to meet so you can see if s/he’s the right one for you.
3. If you decide to move forward, you’ll be asked to agree to a home visit, fill-in and sign an adoption contract and pay the adoption fee.
