Story
Norbert is a senior Chinese Crested (approx. 11–13 years, ~9 lbs) with a huge personality in a tiny, mostly-hairless body. He’s mellow, mild-tempered, crate-trained, and loves warming pads, sunbathing, and quiet companionship. He eats kibble just fine (despite having no teeth!), enjoys being pet and massaged, and does well with other dogs. Norbert will stand by the door to go out and also uses potty pads. His ideal home is calm, cozy, and full of warm snuggles and appreciation for a truly dapper little dude. 💜 *** Go to www.pawsitiverestorations.com to learn all about our dogs, watch their silly videos, read our adoption process, and to submit an adoption application. Inquiries made on this site will not be seen! Visiting our website will answer all of your questions. Thank you! 🐶🐾

Story
I adopted Tofu about 3 years ago when I was living in a house and had a yard for him to play/explore. I have moved to Colorado in the past year and he hasn’t adapted to apartment living well. He definitely needs a yard and a loving home to give him the attention he needs. Tofu is about 6 years old. I adopted him from a family friend who found him roaming the streets. He is a digger and loves to explore so he will attempt to escape a fenced yard if no one is paying attention. Ultimately, he wants a pet parent that will give him ALL the attention by playing and cuddling with him.
