My story

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

Meet Chems 🐾💖
Nearly 10 years old • Female • Terrier Mix

Chems is a sweet, resilient, and affectionate Terrier mix with a heart full of love! She’s a tripod and has no teeth, so she’s on soft food for life—but that doesn’t slow her down one bit! Chems recently road-tripped from Mexico with other adoptable dogs and is currently doing well in our co-housing program, thriving with other dogs.

Why Chems is special:

Sweet, affectionate, and resilient

Thriving and happy despite being a tripod and eating soft food

Perfect for a family looking for a loving senior companion

Good to know:
🐾 We can dog-test and cat-test Chems upon request—just ask!
🏷️ If an attribute tag isn’t listed, it doesn’t mean she doesn’t have that trait—it just means we haven’t seen or confirmed it yet.

Chems is looking for a home that can give her love, patience, and comfort—and in return, she’ll offer endless affection, joy, and loyal companionship. 💕
