About Uncle
Meet Uncle, a charming senior Chihuahua looking for a loving new family after his previous owner transitioned to assisted living. Since joining foster care, he's been settling in well, showing his sweet nature and desire for companionship. Uncle has a refined palate—he used to enjoy gourmet human snacks, especially cheese, so his foster mom helps him out with a sprinkle of dog-safe cheddar on his food since he has no teeth. Uncle is calm and easygoing, content to snooze the day away, often curled up on a lap. He adores people of all ages, from babies to seniors, as long as they treat him kindly. When it comes to other dogs, he can be a bit vocal on walks, feeling nervous around unfamiliar ones, but with time and proper introductions, he may get along well with a friendly dog or cat in the home. He's a great travel companion, happily riding in the car for weekend getaways or errands. Potty trained, he just needs regular breaks every few hours. If you’re searching for a loyal companion who enjoys a cozy afternoon and the occasional cheesy treat, Uncle could be the perfect match for you. He’s ready to share plenty of love and hopes to find his forever home soon. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let’s get started.
