Sir Dutchman - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Richmond, Kentucky

🚨IN THE PRESENCE OF ROYALTY🚨

Introducing the distinguished Sir Dutchman! He is looking for a home as special and unique as his name! Little mister was rescued from a severe 75+ dog hoarding situation, this sweet little guy has overcome skin issues and past trauma to discover the joy of simply being a dog. Once he learns he is safe, Dutchman transforms into a fun-loving, playful boy who loves to zoom around and stick out his adorable little tongue! However, because of his background, he needs a quiet, structured environment to thrive. He would prefer an all-female household: deeply fearful of men due to past abuse; prefers female adopters. Coming from the home that he did he is most confident around canine siblings so we would like his adopters to have one currently in their home. He gains all his courage from watching other dogs and loves having a playmate! Sir Dutchman will needs an empathetic human willing to go at his pace and give him grace due to his past negative experiences. Sir Dutchman has come so far in his foster home—now he’s ready for his forever chapter!
