Tori

Description

Age: 8 years Size: 5 lbs Estimated breed: Chihuahua From my foster: “Tori will be a great companion. She loves her people! At eight years old, she knows how to get comfortable on laps and on couch cushions, cuddled up to her person. She is good with older children, around ages 8 and up, who understand that little dogs cannot play rough. Tori gets along well in her foster home with the other animal residents – a 47 pound,14-year-old dog and two cats that weigh three times as much as she does. It took a few days for her to be less cautious, but they now live in harmony. Tori’s barks are reserved for important occasions! She barks for practical reasons: to let folks know that someone is at the door or that she hears the neighbor’s dog in their back yard. She is a good watchdog in a little package. House training came easily to Tori, once she understood routines. She responds well to a firm “no”, “stay” and “go out?”. She will slip out an open door if you don’t notice her, but STAY works to keep her inside. Tori was found as a stray in a southern state before she came to Nirvana. She was recovering from flea bites and worms, which were immediately addressed. Now she works on eating well and gaining weight. Her bad teeth were taken care of with dental surgery, and she loves her canned food and soft dog treats. For fun, in addition to lounging around, Tori likes to explore fenced in yards and to lay in the grass, even when temperatures are high. She shivered when it was 50 degrees in the morning, so she will need sweaters and jackets when it gets cold. She didn’t like walking on a leash with her little harness the first time we tried it, but now she enjoys going for walks with her foster and the other dog. Tori is actively looking for a permanent person or family. Will it be you?”   Tori was found as a stray in a rural area, completely infested in fleas and anemic. She was never reclaimed, so we brought her to safety and will find her the best forever home!    Tori is 8 years old, weighs a whole 5 lbs soaking wet, and is mostly toothless. She's one of the sweeter varieties of the chihuahua breed, allowing gentle pets from anyone and content with being picked up and carried around. She shares her foster home with a larger senior female dog and a cat, and she basically ignores them both. Her preferred companion is her human!   Tori is sweet, gentle, and kind. She's seeking a quiet retirement home with a person who wants a low-key, low-energy lap dog!   To adopt Tori, please apply on our website! https://www.nirvanaanimalrescue.org/adoption-application   Tori's adoption fee is $200, which covers her vaccines, monthly heartworm and flea/tick prevention, and microchip.
