Hi I’m looking to rehome our 8 yr old chihuahua mix to a loving family/older person who needs a companion. He is low maintenance in terms of exercise but does like to be around people (loves to sit on your lap/cuddle). We have just had a baby and as he can be territorial around toys etc we feel it’s best he moves with someone without a young child so he doesn’t encounter any issues. He is fed on only dry kibble twice a day and is house trained. The ideal home will be with an older household that is pet free. He has no issues being in the car or being alone in the house while your work etc. No health issues at all.
