About Budda

Meet Budda, a charming 10.5 lb male Chihuahua with a gentle spirit. At 13 years young, this sweet senior can be a bit shy initially, but he quickly shows his affectionate personality once he feels secure, especially if he has a confident canine companion by his side.

He seeks a peaceful environment to spend his golden years, focused on loving and being loved. Budda is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm tested negative, current on monthly prevention, and microchipped with lifetime registration.
