My story

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

Hi there, I'm Lenard! Me and my buddy Charles here are both 12 year old Chinese Crested dogs. We are now in our golden years and would love to spend our days going for leisurely strolls and relaxing at home. Charles and I are best friends, and I really depend on him because I am blind. He shows me around and gives me the confidence I need, so we will have to be adopted together as the great pair we are!

Although hairless dogs have been found in many places in the world, it is unlikely that the origins of the modern Chinese crested are in China.[12] The breed was believed by some to have originated in Africa and was called the African Hairless Terrier in several 19th Century texts, however, there is genetic evidence that shows a shared origin with the Mexican Hairless (Xōlōitzcuintli).[13] The current name of the breed likely comes from their use on Chinese ships as ratters. They are also believed to have been bred as a companion for invalids and as such can remain healthy with little exercise. (Wikapedia; 2016)

Lenard is a senior dog. If you are a senior human, age 60+ ask us about our "Seniors for Seniors" program here at The Humane Society of Sedona"...
