Lawrence is a senior Chihuahua mix, estimated to be at least 16 years old, who enjoys a quiet and comfortable life. Weighing 20 pounds, he is a true couch potato who prefers the warmth of a cozy bed over any kind of excitement. While he is friendly, he is naturally shy and takes comfort in familiar surroundings.
Lawrence’s greatest joys in life are food and a safe, warm place to rest. However, he strongly dislikes loud noises and startles easily. One of his most endearing traits is his way of demanding treats—he lets out a howl like a hound dog, making sure he is not overlooked when snacks are being handed out.
He gets along well with most dogs but is terrified of children. Due to his age and health issues, he requires a calm and predictable environment. Lawrence has a serious heart condition, severe arthritis, and suffers from dementia. His vision and hearing are greatly diminished, making gentle handling and a secure space essential for his well-being.
Although he is mostly house-trained, he benefits from a structured routine. His care needs include a fenced yard for safety, a warm bed for comfort, and consistent meals. He takes daily medication for his heart and pain management, which helps keep him as comfortable as possible in his golden years.
Despite his challenges, Lawrence continues to enjoy life in his own way, surrounded by love and care. His story is a testament to the beauty of senior dogs and the joy they bring, even in their final years.
