Chihuahua (short coat) Dog

Wombat the Dog needs a home

This little guy will make you laugh and keep you entertained with his adorable quirkiness. Although he doesn't always feel his best, he gives life his best. Wombat has definite preferences on how he likes being picked up and handled. Once someone has learned those specifics, he'll snuggle up with them and then zoom around in delight. He has lots of affection and love to give to people he trusts. Dogtown caregivers are helping Wombat learn that people will respect his boundaries and that it is safe to place his trust in them.Born in 2010, Wombat came to Best Friends from an Ohio veterinary clinic. He has significant kidney disease and a possible neurological issue, and he takes prescription medication. Wombat will guard food and other items. His caregivers and trainers are working to help him overcome this tendency. He is also learning to hand target and to accept gentle, short leash walks.Wombat would enjoy an easygoing home where life is predictable yet interesting. He needs the opportunity to be brave and to exercise his curious mind. Wombat has lived with small dogs and cats successfully before. He's looking for someone special to charm and entertain.
