**We would love to talk to you about Taki or any of our other available dogs but we first need everyone to go to our website and submit an adoption application.

Taki’s Story: Taki was rescued from the NYC shelter system. He was severely neglected, thin and in need of a dental.

Health: He is up to date on all vaccinations, neutered, and recently had a dental, which resulted in him losing a few teeth. He has a mild, grade one heart murmur (1out of 6) and is not on any medication for this condition. He is very active and energetic and loves to go for long walks.

Temperament: Taki has a big personality and a really soulful look to his eyes. He adores his foster family and will adore you as well. He is still a bit nervous when people are walking around the house so he will pace and follow you around. Once you sit down he’ll be right there at your side for the duration. He gets along well with everyone. His one little quirk is that he occasionally “grumbles” when he is picked up when he doesn’t want to be disturbed, but this is easily managed with a firm command of “No” and has never shown any signs of aggression. He only barks occasionally and is very quiet.

My Ideal Home: Taki is a guy who likes to “get out and about”. He would love to have a home where regular walks are part of his routine. He also enjoys car rides, errands and meeting new people. He walks really well on a leash and makes an excellent traveling companion. He has access to a fenced yard in his foster home and he doesn’t need to go on a walk to take care of business. He follows his foster mom around like a shadow and settles down with you when its time to chill. He is very affectionate and gets along with dogs and cats. His ideal home could be as a single dog or a member of an extended pet family. He would be happiest in a calm home without young children.

JCCARE also maintains the lives of many senior and special needs Chin in our “Sanctuary” program. These dogs are not listed on Petfinder, as their health issues make them unlikely to ever be adopted. If you are a lover of the breed, could you please consider sponsoring one of our seniors? You can find their pictures and stories under OUR CHIN on our web site: www.japanesechinrescue.org
