🐾 A Gentle Senior Looking for a Soft Landing-3/10/2026 Meet Moakie, this sweet 13 year old Beagle–Chihuahua mix that is 19 lbs, she is the definition of a tender soul. She’s calm, affectionate, and deeply appreciative of every bit of kindness shown to her. At this stage of life, she’s looking for a peaceful home where she can enjoy comfort, routine, and the quiet companionship of someone who loves senior dogs. 🌟 Personality She has a soft, trusting nature and enjoys simply being near her people. She’s content with cozy beds, gentle pets, and slow, easy days. Her presence brings a sense of calm to any room. 🐶 Daily Needs & Comfort Because of her age and health, she does best with a few manageable accommodations that help her stay comfortable: • Water intake monitoring to support her overall well being • Someone who works from home or home most of the time. • No more than 3 stairs, as her mobility is limited • Short, easy outings rather than long walks • A predictable routine and a quiet environment These needs are simple to support and make a big difference in helping her feel safe and cared for. 🏡 Ideal Home She would thrive in a calm household—whether with a single adopter, a couple, or a family with older children who understand how to move gently around a senior dog. A home without stairs is ideal, or one where she can stay on a single level. 🐕 Veterinary Status She is spayed, up to date on veterinary care, microchipped and receiving loving support through Yankee Chihuahua Rescue & Adoption. Moakie is ready to join her new family. We’re happy to guide adopters on how to maintain her comfort and routine. ❤ Why She’s Special Senior dogs have a way of giving love that feels deep and steady. This girl asks for very little and gives so much in return—soft eyes, quiet companionship, and the joy of knowing you’ve made her golden years truly golden. **Please note we are NOT A SHELTER.
