sergio (knows chester)

Meet Sergio, a soulful 13-year-old Dachshund blend with a heart of gold and eyes that speak of a lifetime of wisdom. Sergio recently found himself looking for a new adventure after his owner transitioned into assisted living. While he misses his old routine, this sweet, laid-back gentleman is ready to bring his calm energy to a new forever home in 2026. If there are kids in the home or grandchildren that visit, he'll do best in a home if the kids are 5+ for his quality of life.Why Sergio is the perfect companion:* Expert Houseguest: He is fully housetrained and knows exactly how to be a good boy indoors.* Low Maintenance: As a senior, he prefers a gentle stroll and a cozy nap over high-energy antics.* Sweet & Steady: He has a mellow, friendly nature that makes him an instant best friend. Sergio is proof that love doesn't have an expiration date. If you have a quiet corner and plenty of treats to share, he’s waiting to meet you!
