Meet Chispa! She's a 7 year old love bug who knows age is just a number!! She's the sweetest gal who really enjoys her time around her human - chillin and looking for cuddles, kisses, and all the attention she can get. She's laid back and relaxed, loves slow walks so she can take her time sniffing around. She's house broken, easy going and is very beginner friendly when it comes to handling. She's friendly with most dogs and adores meeting new people and getting belly rubs from strangers on her walks. Chispa has hip dysplasia in both rear hips, which is degenerative, but the pain of which can be managed with either surgery or medication. An adopter should be prepared to follow up with a full service vet. Chispa would also do best in a home with few stairs, as her gait tends to be unsteady at times. If you enjoy a cozy night binging on your favorite show then you'll love Chispa!
