Amana - Terrier and Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Sparta, Wisconsin

Meet Amana! Amana is approximately 8 1/2 years old and is thought to be a Terrier/Chihuahua-type mix.

Amana was surrendered by his family after they could no longer care for him. He did live with another dog, and should do well with respectful pets as long as everyone is properly introduced and supervised. Although being 8 years old technically makes him a senior, he would still love to go on a nice leisurely walk with you every day! He's a great mixture of outside companion and lap buddy. He really doesn't ask for a whole lot, and seems to simply want to retire.

Amana lived in a home with young children and it seemed to stress him out, so we're hoping to find him an adult-only home, or a home with kids over the age of 12 who can understand and respect his boundaries. Although we haven't seen it here yet, we're told he has a little bit of a timid side sometimes and simply doesn't feel the need to greet everyone or make new friends. He's perfectly content just hanging out with his favorite few people. That being said, as soon as he arrived he was friendly with us!

Amana keeps his kennel clean and appears to be potty trained, but his new family should expect to give him time and patience while he learns a new routine. We foresee this little guy settling in pretty easily once he understands his new surroundings. He's ha a lot of change in a short amount of time, but we think he'll be so happy in his next forever home with someone who wants a quiet and comical little companion! If you think that's you, follow the link below! We are doing all meet n' greets BY APPOINTMENT ONLY after an adoption application has been generally approved:
