Calling all chihuahua lovers! Calling all senior dog lovers! We know you're out there and we're about to MELT. YOUR. HEART.
Meet Geraldine! This 10 year old chihuahua is everything you want in a lapdog and more. She's the most affectionate, adorable little dog who will beg for your attention 24/7 (but if you need to get some work done and you ignore her little pawing motions, she'll settle on a nice comfy bed for a much deserved nap). She's currently in a foster home with other small, old dogs and cats and doing just fine. She's a little wary of the cats because they're bigger than her, but she'll gain confidence with cats that leave her alone. We also think she hasn't done much walking on a leash because she's pretty overwhelmed by it, and prefers to ask to be picked up. But don't let her get away with it too much! Because she needs to lost 1-2 pounds to be at her healthiest.
Being a small senior dog, Geraldine does have some pretty nasty teeth. We're going to do what we can to clean them up, but she'll likely need more dental care in the future so her adopter should be prepped for that.
