Story
Chorizo is a super senior Basset mix estimated to be over 10 years old, with a heart as big as his adorable personality. This little 25-pound gentleman is a professional snuggler who loves nothing more than curling up in a soft orthopedic bed or being lifted into bed for a night of peaceful cuddling. Despite his age, Chorizo still has plenty of pep and absolutely loves going for walks, happily ambling about half a mile before climbing into his stroller to continue his adventure. He is friendly with everyone he meets, from new people to dogs and even little humans, and he has never met a stranger.Chorizo is a wonderfully well-mannered companion who has quickly settled into his foster home and seems to appreciate all the comforts of retirement. He gets along beautifully with other dogs and is particularly comfortable having a calm canine friend around, especially when his people leave the house. Chorizo is deaf and has limited vision, but his magnificent Basset snooter more than makes up for it—if he can`t immediately see his foster family, he`ll simply follow his nose until he finds them. He is house-trained, walks beautifully on a leash, rides well in the car, and is even learning ASL, although he already knows the most important sign of all: `cookie!`Chorizo is looking for a quiet, loving home where he can enjoy his golden years at a comfortable pace. Arthritis, cataracts, and his age mean he needs supportive bedding, limited exercise, and a person who can help lift his 25-pound body into the car or bath when necessary. He would do best with a calm canine companion who won`t roughhouse with him, and while he adores children, they should be gentle and supervised because this sweet old boy is a little delicate. Also, a generous BROOD supporter will provide a $100 gift to Chorizo`s adopter.If you have room in your heart for a ridiculously cute, lap-sized senior who wants nothing more than soft beds, leisurely adventures, good food, and someone to love, Chorizo is ready to be your very special little shadow.
