Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues

My story

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

Beetle is a 10lb 2.5y chihuahua mix. Very friendly! Gets along with other dogs, chickens, cats and children. Crates and walks on leash. Does great off leash but needs to be recalled and leashed if approaching anyone / animal (gets too excited). Is potty trained, but will not tell you if she needs to go out, you need to let her out every few hours.

Reason for rehome: She is a HEAVY chewer and sometimes will ingest things she shouldn’t. She is a high risk for a foreign body obstruction and would not be a terrible idea if the adopter obtained pet insurance. She NEEDS to be watched at all times or she NEEDS to be in a bare kennel with appropriate chew toys (antlers, nylbones etc). She cannot have blankets in her kennel. She cannot be crated next to a wall, curtains, blankets, furniture, shoes etc. she will manage to chew these items from her kennel. Aging and maturing is not making this matter any lesser.

Ideal home: has other dogs and No kids, so she gets the attention she needs.
