Meet Corky! He is an almost 12 year old, 12 lb. chihuahua mix looking for his forever retirement home!
Corky was adopted from us a few years ago and recently came back to us after his owner passed away. He spent a lot of time with his owner, just the two of them, and he deserves to have someone to love and cherish him again.
Corky is an independent guy but shows his friendly side, especially if there is food involved! He enjoys having his ears rubbed and head scratched. He even handles pets from his foster family's grandkids well! He isn't super snuggly but with time, we hope he will open up with the right person or family. Despite his senior status, Corky still has some cute zoomies and playful moments that will make you smile.
He is house trained but would likely benefit from wearing a belly band for a little while when moving into a new home to help avoid marking until he adjusts to a new space and smells.
He currently lives with other dog and while they get along, he does go out of his way to avoid her and keeps to his own space. He may do fine with another dog in the home but we think he would likely be happiest as your only furry family member. He hasn't lived with cats but may do just fine with a cat that will happily give him space.
Corky enjoys his crate and likes to hang out in it and nap during the day. He currently sleeps in his crate an night also. He is an overall quiet guy and doesn't bark much at all in his foster home.
This little guy does have some hearing and vision impairment but navigates his foster home well. He does have some arthritis and spinal fusion and takes two medications to help with pain (10 mg galliprant once per day and 50mg gabapentin twice per day, about $50/month). Common for smaller older dogs, he does have a heart murmur but doesn't show any enlargement of the heart at this time and doesn't currently need any medication to help manage that but may in the future.
This good boy's photos may look a little sad but he's a happy boy with a lot of life and love left to spend with a family of his own.
