My story

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

We are looking to rehome our 12-year-old black and white Chihuahua who has been a beloved part of our family since he was a puppy. He is a lovable, loyal little shadow who adores being near his person and would be a wonderful companion for someone looking for a calm, devoted buddy.


ABOUT BRUIN
• Almost 12 years old
• Fully housetrained
• Very mobile with good vision and hearing
• Loves sunbathing, cozy naps, and short walks in warm weather
• Thrives on routine and companionship
• Best suited for someone who enjoys a relaxed, quiet lifestyle • He must be the only pet in the home
• He needs a home without children
• He can be a nipper and recently bit our 1-year-old son (This is why finding the right environment for him is so important.)
• In a calm, adult-only home, he truly shines and would be happiest as someone’s
one-and-only companion.
