Nino is a 10 year old, 9lb Chihuahua mix that we pulled from a shelter in Quebec. He was found wandering alone in a building and no one claimed him.

​

Nino is an incredibly easy-going little guy. He sleeps most of the day away and is happy to snuggle up against his human. He's not much of a lap-dog though—he prefers to press right beside you, rather than on your lap.

​

Nino can be a little shy at first but does startle at loud noises. He's not a very playful dog and doesn't have much interest in toys, but he does enjoy a bit of play with his human. It's fun to interact with him because he has very few teeth, which means he just gums you during a little rough-house. Nino enjoys going on walks and is great on leash. He doesn't love the cold weather, of course, but it's clear he loves being outside. 

​

Nino is housetrained but will not bark to let you know he needs to go out; instead, he will come over to you and whine. Nino is not crate trained but his foster doesn't see much of a need for it. He does will being left alone and does fine in the car.

​

Nino is curious about other dogs but prefers to keep his distance. A gradual introduction is recommended. He has not been tested with cats. This senior boy would do best in a calm, patient home, preferably without young children. Older children should be able to recognize his boundaries and respect his space.

Nino is neutered, vaccinated and ready to find his forever home!
