Li’l Roo
Smooth Chihuahua | 10.5 Years Old | Neutered Male | 12 Lbs
Li’l Roo is a happy, affectionate little guy with a gentle spirit and an endless love for snuggles. He’s sweet, easy-going, and always ready to soak up attention.
Roo currently lives with a 30 lb dog and coexists peacefully, though he prefers calm company over playtime. He’d thrive as an only dog or with another mellow pup who isn't interested in playing with him. His interactions with cats and children are unknown, but because he can startle easily, a quieter home may suit him best.
Roo enjoys a routine that includes three 15-minute walks a day—morning, midday, and evening. He walks nicely on a leash and loves his outings! Occasionally, he’ll let out a few soft barks when passing people or other dogs, but he quickly moves along and keeps up with enthusiasm.
Roo is crated during the work day and overnight. He sometimes whines or howls intermittently, but he’s housetrained and trustworthy when given freedom—no accidents and no mischief! I plan to phase out the crate as Roo and my resident dog continue to grow more comfortable with each other. The only thing he can’t resist nibbling on are soft blankets, so his future family will want to keep the fancy ones out of reach. Roo adapted well to apartment living and doesn’t need a yard to be content.
Besides the grey on his face, you’d never guess that Roo is a senior! He’s spry, easily hops onto the bed or couch, and handles stairs with no problem. What Roo truly hopes for is a forever owner who loves snuggling as much as he does!
