Male Chihuahua To Good home

Winchester near Outland, Memphis TN

Description

Male Brown Chihuahua I adopted in May of 2020. His name is Shag although he doesn't have hardly any fur lol. He was my grandparents Dog. They had adopted shag from a very abusive home and he was a full adult at the time. He lived with them up until my grandad died first and then my grandmother in May 2020 from Covid. Shag has lived with me, my husband, our daughter, another female dog and a male cat. Due to him being abused before my grandparents first adopted him he was still very docile and fearful of humans even after living with them for over ten years. When I recieved him I noticed when he is approached he cowers to the floor in fear. However he will approach you for pets and rubs as long as you are sitting or squatting and make no sudden movements and encourages him. Since he's been here I have also noticed that he finds safety in his crate/kennel. When he is out of the Kennel please leave the cage open this helps shag feel more secure and safe because he has a place to retreat to. He is also very vocal he sometimes has conversations with us lol he uses a high pitched yelp to communicate lol I think shag would be best with a home with elderly persons or persons with no children that has time to really work with him. I dont know how old shag is or his medical history. My grandparents had him for 10 years and I had him for 2 years. I have noticed that he may have some dental problems as well. He is otherwise healthy and not food aggressive. His has not been fixed. He is really a great pet. Small rehoming fee
