About Grandpappy

Meet Grandpappy, a charming 10-year-old Chihuahua mix weighing in at just 10 pounds. Despite his age, he's playful and bursting with personality. His foster dad describes him as "sweet as can be," always eager for a family to love him back. Grandpappy is friendly but shy when it comes to new faces. Once he warms up, his affectionate side shines through with sweet kisses and delightful greetings at the door. He is both crate and house trained, provided he’s on a regular schedule. Short walks are a joy for him, especially when he can lead the way. He also loves car rides and would happily accompany you on new adventures. While not essential, a securely fenced yard would make him very happy, as he enjoys runs outside. He gets along well with dogs his size but wouldn’t mind being the only furry friend in your home. Older children are a good match for him after some initial time getting acquainted. Grandpappy is looking for a committed family to help him achieve a healthier weight. Food is one of his greatest loves, so feeding him separately from other dogs is important to prevent sneaky bites from their bowls. He has a heart murmur rated at 4/6, but it doesn’t hold him back from enjoying life fully. If you seek a devoted companion with the spirit of playfulness and a heart full of love, Grandpappy is ready to share his golden years with you. His minimum adoption fee is $200, plus $15 for rabies registration for McLean County residents. Grandpappy is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm-checked, dewormed, and on preventative care. Give him the loving home he deserves. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
