Please see what you can find out, we really want him to have a good home.

Okay, thank you for the details. I will see what I can do and keep you updated as I try.

I am so sorry you have to go through this. I know it must be hard on your family. Thank you for looking for a good home for your chi. I know how much you care about your chi. I wish you the best.

Thanks again for all the help. I'm in the process of remodeling our laundry room, once that is complete we'll be able to let him roam that room during the day. He doesn't currently spend every day from 7-6 in his crate, but it's more often that it should be. I'm hoping we can find a good home for him in Georgia, if not then I will work with SVDreamer to see if she might really be interested.

It will be tough to give him up, but like I've said before, our lives are much different now and I would rather him have a home where he can get more attention than we can currently provide.

thank you for staying with this process of trying to do what is best for Chandler.
it's very difficult not to judge people when we don't have much information and
we don't like what has been shared. He will probably do fine with the laundry room.
please keep in mind that dogs need mental stimulation too. maybe change out his toys
every few days. I buy nylabones; park them in the dog food bag for a few days
and them let them have them as a treat. "Recharge" them as needed. No extra calories,
but they get the aroma

Please keep us posted on your plans for the little guy.

I just want to say thank you to the OP for trying to do the right thing for your little chi! While it is sad to think of any dog having to be rehomed, I , for one, am so thankful the OP came to a forum of chihuahua lovers to seek help rather than doing what so many others do: dump in a shelter or worse.

I think it shows good character for the OP in sticking it out here to find a good home for Chandler. You have won my respect, trestro. If things don't work out with svdreamer or a good home in your area, I too am in California near San Jose and would take your boy. PM me if you find such a need. I can provide you with excellent references from several vets. Best of luck to little Chandler!

^Ditto. And best part, if he goes to live with svdreamer you'll know you can still log on here to see pictures and updates, lol!
