Senior Chihuahua mix
We need to rehome our little old man. He has decided he doesn't like kids and we just had twins. His about 17 years old now and just needs a good home to live out the rest of his days. We adopted him in a home where they had lots of other dogs and it made him stressed. So new home has to have no other dogs and no kids.
