Hi, I'm Chick Pea!
I'm a low-energy, veggie-loving lady looking for love in a no-dogs, no-cats, no-kids household. You might think I'm asking too much, but I'm worth it! I'm old enough to be trusted alone all day, don't require much exercise, make the cutest snorts and snarfles, looooove car rides, and am a good girl at the vet. Plus, I've got perfect bloodwork for a 7-9 year old dog (reason for testing is no longer a concern). Maybe better than yours! Oh, I forgot that these baby blues don't do much, so I'm pretty much blind. My eyes may get worse with age, but I will impress you with my super hearing and ability to map new spaces.
I am ok with apartment living, but I’d love someplace a little quieter. I thrive on routine and knowing what's going on, so if you have lots of visitors or changes, I'm not the one for you. Because I can't see and have herding instincts, I sometimes react to unexpected movements or sounds. I worked with a trainer and have learned all the important techniques for how to cope with new things like visitors, loud noises, and passing by other dogs. My foster mom will help you practice everything. You should know that I really love my foster mom, so I'll be pretty confused when she's not around, and I'll need you to be patient with me and help me adjust to all the new things. An experienced dog owner would be best for me - I need you to be in charge and look out for me so I can just be a relaxed, lazy doggo and live my best life. Even though I'm pretty picky, everyone at Speak loves me so much and they really want me to find the forever home I deserve!
