Meet Chi Chi & Rufus — A Sweet Senior Duo Looking for a Soft Place to Land
Chi Chi and Rufus are a bonded pair of senior sweethearts, both 13+ years old, who are hoping to find a quiet, loving home where they can spend their golden years together.
These two little dogs came to us from a very difficult situation and were in rough shape when they first arrived. With some much-needed veterinary care and a lot of kindness, they’re feeling much better and ready for a second chance.
Chi Chi is a tiny Chihuahua mix with the sweetest little face and soulful eyes. She recently finished treatment for Lyme disease and also had a dental — she now has just three teeth left, which only adds to her adorable charm. Chi Chi does have some decreased cognitive abilities and may be experiencing some age-related dementia, but she still enjoys life, her meals, and the comfort of being close to her people and her best friend Rufus.
Rufus, who we believe may be a Jack Russell mix, is the slightly scruffier gentleman of the pair. He also had a dental and has about five teeth remaining. Rufus still enjoys the simple things — especially short little walks outside and spending time exploring the yard. He keeps a watchful eye on Chi Chi and clearly takes his role as her companion seriously.
Both dogs are very food motivated and absolutely love mealtime. They are not housetrained, so their future family should be prepared to manage that with patience and routine. They get along well with cats and other dogs, and older, respectful kids would be fine.
Most importantly, they must be adopted together. After everything they’ve been through, they rely on each other for comfort and security.
Chi Chi and Rufus don’t need much — just a clean, safe home, gentle care, and someone willing to give them the love they’ve likely been missing for most of their lives. In return, you’ll give two deserving seniors the chance to spend the rest of their days knowing warmth, kindness, and family.
If you have room in your heart for a pair of little old souls who truly deserve peace and love, Chi Chi and Rufus are waiting to meet you.
Special adoption fee for these seniors to be adopted together is $200.
