Chalupa

Our Sweet Old Man

Chalupa was our sweet little old man he weighed a whopping 3.7 lbs and was at least 7 years old. He was a quiet, shy little guy who preferred to stay be himself in his crate. I think he was a little overwhelmed by the gaggle. He liked to to held and cuddled but he wasn't one to run around and play. He was quite thin and needed some good food and a lot of TLC. He had to have the remainder of his teeth pulled and his bottom jaw was atrophied so he required very soft food. Most people who saw him felt sorry for him but were afraid to adopt him because he was so frail. A young women who was going to be traveling for school and career was looking for a quiet older dog she could travel with as she did not want separate the chihuahuas she owned with her Fiance. Chalupa was the perfect fit and she was not intimidated of his need for a little extra care. He got a special travel crate and bed and at last report was doing well, had put on some weight and was getting along great with his new chi friends.
