About Posy

Posy is a delightful ten-year-old Chihuahua and a proud member of our super senior club. After spending several years in one home with two other small dogs, her life took a turn when both owners sadly passed away. Fortunately, a compassionate neighbor noticed their plight, provided food, and contacted Brady Animal Control, which led to Posy and her companions finding refuge with us when other rescues were full. Upon her arrival, Posy underwent a thorough checkup, and the results are promising. The lump on her tail was diagnosed as an abscess, and the vet has approved her for a dental cleaning. During this procedure, a small growth on her chest will also be removed. Now, Posy is looking for a loving home that appreciates the wisdom of a senior Chihuahua, where she can enjoy all the privileges that come with age. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
