Pete is a tan chihuahua and is around 14 years old. Pete came to Fuzzy Pawz when a local shelter decided he was so old that a shelter wasn’t the place for him and needed some extra love and care. He was in rough shape, but nothing that the vets that work with Fuzzy Pawz and lots of love couldn’t fix. After surgery to remove some rotten teeth, remove a few benign masses that were bothering him, and fix his nasal fistula, Pete is feeling like a whole new man!
Pete is a sweet senior boy who is just looking to rest easy for his retirement. When he first arrived at his foster home, Pete was pretty shutdown and scared of people, but now that he has learned what a comfy place he’s got, he is a total snuggle bug. Being a senior means lots of napping, and if that nap can happen on your lap, chest, or belly, Pete will take it. Watch out for his epic snoring though.
Pete does get some zoomies, usually once a day, and while his balance may be a little off, he is no less adorable doing laps in the yard or around the coffee table. Occasionally he will find a toy to growl at and play with.
Pete is crate trained, although he would rather sleep with you at night. He is potty trained and can make it through the night. However, his foster parents have noticed that sometimes he wakes up from a nap and needs to go immediately outside for a potty break, kind of like a puppy, but if you don’t catch it in time, he may have an accident.
The other dogs and cats in Pete’s house are of little interest to him. He gets along with everyone, as long as they leave him be. He can get a little cranky when the younger ones get rowdy near him. Of note, too, he’s had all of his teeth removed, so while his bite isn’t much, he will bark when he’s uncomfortable. Speaking of no teeth – soft foods only!
Overall, Pete is a very sweet boy who just wants a soft pillow to lay on and a warm human to snuggle with. He is very easy going and would fit into most any home. Since he is a little cranky with too much rowdy-ness, we ask that he goes to a home with kids older than 12 years old. Pete is microchipped, neutered, and is up to date on all his vaccines.
