At 9 years old, Chive is a gentle, mellow soul who’s ready for a quiet home to spend his golden years. Found as a senior stray with signs of neglect, this sweet boy had clearly known love once—but now he’s looking for someone to love him again. Despite discomfort from past flea bites and hip dysplasia, Chive remains good-natured, affectionate, and easy to care for.
Why He’s the Ultimate Golden Years Companion
🐾 Knows his manners: Sit, Down, and Shake
🍖 Food motivated but takes treats like a true gentleman
🛋️ Calm and quiet at home—no separation anxiety
🚗 Great in the car and fully potty trained
🎞️ Loves movies, hanging out in the kitchen, and napping the day away
🐶 Dog-friendly with medium and large pups in his foster home
What He’s Looking For
✔️ A low-key home with minimal stairs and a soft place to rest
✔️ No small pets—tiny critters are just a bit too exciting
✔️ Someone who values slow walks and steady companionship
✔️ A family that will love and care for a senior as much as a puppy
Chive has been overlooked for too long. This good boy still has so much love to give and would be the perfect co-pilot for your peaceful life. If you have room in your heart and home for a senior sweetheart, come meet Chive—he’s waiting to win you over.
