Male Dog, Chihuahua
Chihuahua / Mixed (Short Coat)
Description:
Meet Koe (pronounced like Joe with a K, after Koe Wetzel the country music star). He is a 7-year-old, 5lb male chihuahua who came into rescue when his owner passed away. Koe has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, had a complete dental, recovered from kennel cough, and his bloodwork and exam look good. Koe is sensitive to change, but once he settles in, he is goofy, playful, resilient, and affectionate. He likes to run around the house, lay in the sun, follow you from room to room, get up in your lap for belly rubs, and bury himself under blankets and pillows. Oh, and he’s in love with his stuffed octopus—carries it everywhere he goes. So, you have to be willing to adopt the octopus too. Koe is happy, fearless, and a joy to be around. He is only comfortable and confident at home, so he’s not going to be one of those “take everywhere with you” chihuahuas. He’d do best with an owner who doesn’t expect him to be adventurous or social outside the home. In his foster home, Koe is well housebroken. But it’s going to take a predictable schedule and a close eye to maintain this. When it’s cold outside, for example, Koe would prefer to sneak away and pee indoors. To keep his good habits going in his new home, he’ll need an owner who will keep close tabs on and supervise him closely. In foster care, Koe has gotten along with everyone he’s met. He’s done well alongside dogs of all sizes (we have a 15-65lb range here). He has also lived previously with other small dogs and cats. Due to his extremely small size, a home without small children or rambunctious large dogs would be best. And because birds of prey are a risk, he will also need to be closely supervised any time he’s outdoors. Koe is adoptable to homes in Tucson, Marana, Oro Valley, Catalina and Sahuarita only. His adoption fee is $275, with an additional $21 for PACC licensing. Please fill out an adoption application here http://tucsoncoldwetnoses.com/adoptable-pets/adoption-application/ to meet Koe or email [email protected] with any questions. *Applications to adopt: wwwTucsonColdWetNoses.com Home Visit / ID and Residence Verification is required.
