AGE: 15 YearsSEX: FemaleBREED: Chihuahua mixENERGY LEVEL: LowDOG FRIENDLY?: Yep!CAT FRIENDLY?: Yep!KID FRIENDLY?: Likely!Meet Rosy! This sweet senior chihuahua is a calm, confident little lady who enjoys the simple things in life. She loves heading out for short walks throughout the day, taking her time to explore and sniff at her own pace. After a bit of walking, she’s happy to relax and ride along in a stroller for some extra comfort. Back at home, Rosy is happiest resting in her cozy bed, spending much of her day snoozing peacefully. She enjoys being near her people and will let you know when she’d like to join you on the couch, though she’s more of a companion than a cuddler. She also loves all kinds of treats and will happily accept them with enthusiasm.Rosy is house trained, walks nicely and slowly on leash, and does well when left home alone. She will need someone home often, however, as she is experiencing some incontinence and may have an accident if home alone more than 4 hours. She’s friendly with people she meets, though she’s more easygoing than overly social. She has seen children on walks and isn’t bothered by them, and she has done well meeting other dogs - including larger ones. She’s also cat and dog friendly overall. While she lives comfortably in a busier environment and isn’t bothered by noise due to some hearing loss, she would likely feel most relaxed in a quieter home where she can enjoy a peaceful routine.Rosy will sometimes wag her tail and bark at dogs she sees, likely because she’s interested in saying hello. While she can coexist with other pets, she may prefer being the only one in the home, as she can get a little jealous when sharing attention—especially on the couch or during treat time. She’s a quiet, well - behaved companion who doesn’t get into things and is easy to have around the house.Rosy was diagnosed with a suspected heart condition several years ago and takes daily medication to help keep her comfortable. This should be reassessed with your veterinarian a few times a year to ensure her dosing continues to meet her needs. Because of this, along with some general arthritis, she has a lower tolerance for longer walks and may need to be carried or enjoy stroller rides for extended outings. She also has periodontal disease and is not a candidate for dental procedures due to her heart condition, so soft food is recommended, along with dental chews to help support her oral health.As a senior girl, Rosy is looking for a loving home that will cherish her and provide comfort in her golden years. While her exact timeline is uncertain, it may range from months to a few years. In return, Rosy will offer gentle companionship, quiet loyalty, and so much love!Think you might be the right fit to provide a loving home for Rosy? Apply Now!https://newcollar.co/apply-to-adopt
