Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Our handsome boy, Champagne, is a debonair fellow who would charm any adopter. He joined us in late 2019 from NYCACC after his owners abandoned him to an uncertain fate. Champagne seemed to fare pretty well in the shelter setting, but he did display some understandable fearful behavior as he adjusted to the shelter process.
In a short time, Champagne caught the shelter kennel cough and was relegated to the euthanasia list. We are happy that our shelter contacts rerouted him to our Rescue.
Champagne made great progress here and was successfully adopted. He returned to us last year, while his Adopter prepared to welcome a new baby. Now, Champagne is ready for his next adventure.
Champagne is a delicate Chihuahua at only 8 pounds. He has a "deer" shaped head, and a brown coat with white markings. At 7 years old, he is an adult dog and well past the puppy mayhem stage.
We think that Champagne would most enjoy a quiet lifestyle with an adult single or couple, who love lap dog companionship. He tends to steer clear of chaos, and would not be a good fit for a busy family bursting with kids. He is an active dog, and loves to play, but he would thrive with a few brisk leash walks each day. Champagne could easily join a multi-dog home with one or two other laid back dogs with proper introduction and supervision.
Champagne has good house manners, and is house trained, crate trained and can easily be persuaded to use a wee wee pad in inclement weather. Adopters should expect to troubleshoot the occasional accident that will inevitably occur during his transition to a new home.
Champagne is in excellent health, and is at a lean body weight. He is neutered, and has had a recent dental. He has received routine vaccinations and health screenings. He is dewormed, and microchipped.
