Chewey

Meet Chewey, a gentle and lovable almost fifteen-year-old Yorkshire Terrier from San Diego, CA, who has perfected the art of companionship. With his golden tan coat accented by deep, distinguished markings, this small but spirited senior is ready to bring warmth and loyalty to his next caring home!

Chewey has mellowed with age, embracing a relaxed and easygoing lifestyle. These days, he’s happiest enjoying leisurely walks, soaking up the sunshine, or curling up beside his favorite person. Though he once had a bit of youthful anxiety, he’s now a calm and content pup who simply appreciates the little joys in life—like a warm lap, a quiet afternoon, and maybe a tasty treat (as long as it follows his sensitive tummy’s strict diet!).

He’s a well-mannered gentleman who knows commands like sit, stay, and come, and he’s neutered, vaccinated, and fully house-trained. While he’s neutral toward other dogs and cats, he coexists peacefully with them, making him a great fit for a variety of homes. He’s also friendly with strangers and does well with young children, enjoying gentle affection and soft pats.

Routine grooming is part of his charm—every couple of months, he enjoys a fresh haircut and bath, though he may get a little extra excited about the process! He’s an easygoing little guy, but a gentle, loving guardian will be ideal to enjoy his golden years together.

Chewey may be a senior, but his heart is as young as ever! If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal, and low-maintenance companion who will brighten your days with his calm presence and affectionate nature, Chewey is ready to be your best friend. Reach out today to learn more!
