Pita's Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Pita<br/><br/>Breed: Chihuahua<br/>Sex: Female<br/>Age: ~12 years<br/>Weight: 8 lbs<br/>Good with Dogs: Yes — she coexists peacefully<br/>Good with Cats: Unknown, but likely fine<br/>Good with Kids: Older children only<br/>Good with Men & Women: Yes<br/>Food Aggression: None<br/><br/>Pita is a tiny, gentle senior girl with a heart full of sweetness. Despite being deaf and blind, she enjoys life in her own quiet, peaceful way. She loves simple pleasures — eating, sleeping, and taking slow walks around the yard. She’s a laid-back companion who asks for very little besides comfort and kindness.<br/><br/>Pita does have some medical needs. She is deaf and blind, and she is currently on a kidney-friendly diet. Updated lab work will be done soon to monitor her progress. Because of her sensory limitations, she needs help with daily routines — she is carried outside to potty, brought back in, and placed gently in her bed, much like caring for a newborn.<br/><br/>That said, Pita has wonderful strengths:<br/>✠̈ Housebroken when taken out on a regular schedule<br/>✠̈ Very loving and calm<br/>✠̈ Quiet, small, and easy to manage<br/>✠̈ Doesn’t need to be the only dog and doesn’t require another dog either<br/><br/>Her main challenge is that she can be anxious with changes. When placed in a new environment, she may bark or pace for about a week while she adjusts. Once she feels safe and familiar with her surroundings, she settles into her sweet, peaceful rhythm.<br/><br/>Pita is looking for a patient, gentle home where she can enjoy her golden years surrounded by comfort and compassion. If you’re someone who appreciates a quiet companion and has room in your heart for a special-needs senior, Pita will reward you with unconditional love and the softest little presence by your side.<br/><br/>Dental Appointment 1 Dec 25

Tired Dog Rescue's Adoption Policy
Tired Dog Rescue adoption fee includes all sets of vaccinations, heartworm test, fecal exam, spay/neuter and microchip. We also recommend that you research the breed that you want to adopt. Ask yourself....Can you afford the cost of a high maintenance dog such as a Cocker Spaniel or Shih-tzu etc? The grooming costs are about 50.00 every 6-8 weeks. Are you in a position to adopt a puppy which will require training? Can you afford the medical costs that might be involved in adopting a senior pup? We want every adoption to be for life so please think about what you can and what you are willing to do before considering each pet. If you are unsure please contact us and we can help answer any questions.
