I`m a cute little chihuahua with an endearing personality. I`ve spent most of my life living with my one human and would love a home that is similar - few people and where at least one of whom will let me curl up on their lap all day long! I have lived with a dog before but didn`t love it. I didn`t like sharing my human or my things. I really would be happiest with just me and my person. I also don`t love when strangers try to approach me and my human when I`m on their lap. What I do love is snuggling up with my person and getting lots of love and pets!
MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES… CHILDREN: No, I would do best in an adult-only home given I get scared and might nip when children move or make noises unexpectedly. OTHER DOGS: I would prefer to be the only dog. I don’t like sharing my things, including my human’s lap, with other dogs. CATS: I’ve never lived with a cat, but it would have to be a cat who doesn’t like to sit on my human’s lap since that might cause problems. FIRST-TIME DOG OWNERS: I would do best with someone who has previous dog experience. FENCED-IN YARD: Not necessarily. HOUSING ENVIRONMENT: None where barking may be a problem, since I may bark when hearing noises or meeting new people. SOMEONE HOME MOST OF THE DAY: I am used to having my human with me most of the day but I suppose I could be ok alone.
SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME… ACTIVITY LEVEL: Low-medium. HOUSE-TRAINED: I sometimes have accidents in the house but will go outside and will sometimes use pee pads.

More about this shelter
For 125 years, the Guelph Humane Society has been dedicated to protecting and caring for the many animals with whom we share our community and our lives, and to fostering the important bonds with animals that enrich us as individuals, families and communities. Founded in 1893, the Guelph Humane Society provides care and shelter for more than 3,000 homeless, stray, injured, and abused animals each year throughout Guelph and Wellington County.
Our programs are delivered by an enthusiastic team of staff with many years of experience in animal care and welfare. In addition to paid staff, we are lucky to have over 400 active volunteers who provide thousands of hours of service each year and generously share their skills and ideas.
The Guelph Humane Society has a strong working relationship with local, provincial, and national animal welfare organizations; local school boards; the City of Guelph; Township of Centre Wellington; Township of Guelph-Eramosa; local veterinarians; the Ontario Veterinary College Health Sciences Centre at the University of Guelph; and Guelph Police Services and the Provincial Crown Attorney’s Office. We are an affiliate society of the Ontario SPCA, and proud member of the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies (CFHS).
Our organization is guided by a Board of Directors made up of volunteers with a wide range of skills and business experience. The Board also convenes several ad hoc committees, which work to address specific issues. Day-to-day operations of the shelter are managed by the Executive Director and senior staff with the Board’s general guidance.
We are a registered charitable, non-profit organization that does not receive government funding. As such, we depend on your donations and private funding to support our important work. The Guelph Humane Society charitable registration number is 119236305RR0001.
