Well hello there, I'm Alex. I'm an approximately 7 year old male Chihuahua looking for a new home for myself and my son, Pico. Unfortunately landlords can't rent directly to chihuahuas... sooo I need some help finding a forever place for me and my boy to settle down in. We are very discerning and hope for a detached home with a fully fenced yard so we won't have to bother with harnesses and leashes for our outside time.
We are not fans of the unknown and are looking for a patient home, who won't expect to be taking us out and about. We will need a place that doesn't have too many visitors, or pawrents who can put a training system in place to ensure we have positive interactions only! As little potatoes, we just need a quieter life than most. We would appreciate not living with any children or other pets, we really are just fans of it being the two of us. We need (and deserve) all the love, and COOKIES!!
I'm obviously a bit more mature than Pico, so my favourite things are cuddling and napping, we even have our own room here at hotel HSLM and our favourite staff treat us like royalty. I still love going for a nice (albeit short) walk in the nice weather but you may need to convince me to get out and about to get the amount of exercise I "need". The vet told me I need to lose some weight for my health, and while I don't agree, I really want to be around for my son for a long time so I hope you'll support me on my fitness journey.
So - have I sold you? Do you want to help out a single dad supporting his adult son? If you think you're up to the task please fill out an application and send it on in to our Adoption Counselors at adoptions@hslm.ca or drop it off in person at the shelter! If we seem to be a good fit, we can book a meet and greet and hopefully be home for the holidays!
