My story

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

“Remi Emmie Lou is truly one of a kind. She has such a vibrant and gentle soul, and looks at you with such passion. She is extremely calm, quiet (never heard her bark or make a peep once!) gentle, and sweet.

She’s slightly timid and a little nervous with physical touch, she will duck her head a little bit, so I’m assuming someone might not have been so nice to her in the past :( she accepts the love with trust and doesn’t show any signs of aggression even despite her nerves which is impressive. It shows her true gentle spirit and soul. She will accept your pets and within no time at all, she trusted us already and wanted to just curl up next to us on the couch and cuddle.

She is happy to just lay in a doggie bed and relax. She LOVES the outdoors. If she’s not outside, she wants to look outside at the window and just watch the world go by! She’s an incredible walker! I couldn’t believe this senior lady had so much pep in her step. She was walking faster than me and I’m a full time dog walker! If I could take on a dog right now, I’d adopt her in a heartbeat. She is such an angel and whoever is her forever family is extremely lucky.”

"Remi is an absolute gem of a dog. She is sweet, gentle and a first class cuddler. She loves nothing more than a soft spot on the couch close to you, or will happily snooze in a bed on her own. She seems to enjoy the company of other dogs, but could be fine as an only. She walks nicely on a leash, and will do a little barking at passersby, but takes correction. In true Chi fashion, she needs slow introductions to strangers, but warms up quickly. She may be a senior, but has lots of pep left in her step, and is the perfect balance of chill and spunky. Remy would fit into almost any home dynamic. She is mostly house-trained with frequent let outs, but does use pads overnight.

Older dogs make the most wonderful companions, don’t miss out Remy!"
