**Looking for the Perfect Retirement Home for Our Sweet Girl**
Our sweet girl just turned **9 years old**, and she has been part of our family her entire life. This is not an easy decision for us, so we are going to be **very selective** about where she goes. Our only goal is to find her a loving, peaceful home where she can enjoy the rest of her years being spoiled and cared for.
We feel she would be happiest with an **older couple or a single person** looking for a laid-back companion. She loves curling up in your lap for attention, but she’s just as happy relaxing by herself in a comfy recliner.
She is **house trained** to both potty pads and going outside, listens very well, and is accustomed to being a loved family pet. She is a barker and definitely likes to let you know when something is going on, so her new family will need to be understanding of that part of her personality.
Rio is not good with any other dogs/cats, as well as kids unless they're older
**An approved, loving home is a must.**
She will not just go to anyone!!

Can Chihuahuas live with cats and other dogs?
Chihuahuas are generally not the best fit for families with young kids. Chihuahuas can usually live with other dogs and cats without problem.

Are Chihuahuas high-energy dogs?

What should I expect with Chihuahua shedding?
Chihuahuas can have a long or short coat and come in a wide variety of colors, including sand, chocolate, silver, chestnut, and even blue. A plethora of patterns including sable and masks are also a possibility. It’s this very variety of possibilities makes classification so difficult. Grooming-wise, this breed is low-maintenance.
Are Chihuahuas a good fit for apartment living?
Chihuahuas are best suited for apartments and smaller homes. Socializing the Chihuahua as a puppy is essential to prevent overt aggressiveness and avoiding World War III with other pets in your house. They are moderately trainable with consistent effort.

About
Miniature Pinscher

What's it like owning a Miniature Pinscher?

Do Miniature Pinschers do well in a busy household?
Miniature Pinschers are generally okay with older children who know how to handle dogs. They are curious, quick, and hard to catch.

Are Miniature Pinschers couch potatoes or do they need a lot of exercise?

How much brushing and bathing does a Miniature Pinscher need?
Miniature Pinschers are tough little dogs who aren’t afraid of a pretty sweater. In fact, when it’s cold, they definitely require one. Min Pins do not have much fur to keep them warm, but their short-haired coat is easy to maintain. Grooming-wise, this breed is low-maintenance.
Are Miniature Pinschers a good fit for apartment living?
