My personality

My story

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

MEET US IN STRATFORD, CONNECTICUT!!
Hello everyone. Meet Geezer and Grover, a bonded pair of senior Chihuahua mixes, dumped inside a fenced-in pool area at an apartment complex in San Antonio, Texas. It’s a miracle neither one fell in the pool and drowned, since they were both in very poor shape, emaciated, and trying desperately to drink water from the pool. They had missing fur and crusty skin, mostly along their backs and tail, from chronic fleas and itching. Geezer also had a massive hernia on his bottom and is missing most of his teeth. Thankfully, 4 Little Paws Rescue got hold of them, and their road to recovery began. Right away, both boys had special medicated baths, vaccines, neuters, and a much-needed hernia repair for Geezer. A few weeks later, they are healthy and happy and are ready to find a wonderful home to spend their golden years, although they are nowhere near ready for retirement!!

I’m Geezer. I am about 12 years old and weigh just 11.1 lbs. I am still very active, playful, and friendly, love toys and treats, walks to the park, and I’m sweet as can be. My days of running zoomies may be behind me, but I will jump off a raised deck, leaping over 3 stairs like a youngster, LOL! I enjoy a balanced life… fun mixed with relaxation. A cozy dog bed, squeaky toys, lots of love, and a warm lap to snuggle in are all on my bucket list. I’m well-behaved, only bark to alert, and I’m housebroken. Although I have very few teeth, most are molars, so no problem at all eating my yummy kibble. I have a happy and grateful attitude, and it's clear that I’m really enjoying my new lease on life!

Grover and I depend on each other for support and company. Parted, we anxiously pace and cry while looking for each other. We are relaxed and happy when kept together, and we are the best of friends!! "We believe a wonderful future lies ahead, so make our doggy dreams come true and inquire about us today! You can meet us at our new foster home in Stratford, Connecticut. Just be prepared to fall in love and take us home!

The adoption fee is $400 for the pair.

Additional adoption info

Please DO NOT apply unless the entire family / household is on board with adopting one of our dogs. We must receive an application for you to move forward in the process. Thoughtful direct emails are welcome and will be answered. However, an application is still a necessary step. We want to make sure we find our dogs a perfect fit with a family so both the dog and the family are happy. We keep our dogs with fosters once we get them out of shelters for a little bit to learn and understand their personalities. Our relationship with families doesn't stop at adoption! We are always available for any follow up questions and are happy to be a resource as you and your new pet settle into a routine.
