Meet Kenobi – the wise little gentleman your couch has been waiting for.

At approximately 8 years old, Kenobi is the perfect mix of sweet, spunky, calm, and a little bit quirky in the most lovable way. This charming Chihuahua mix may be entering his “distinguished gentleman” era, but don’t let the age fool you — he still has plenty of love (and opinions about treats) to share.

Kenobi came into rescue as a very neglected stray and is believed to have possibly been hit by a car. When he arrived, he had a large wound on his back that needed immediate veterinary care. Thanks to the quick action of the team at Needy Paws and lots of TLC, he has healed beautifully and is now ready for the next chapter of his life: a cozy forever home.

Kenobi is partially blind, which just means he prefers a calmer lifestyle. Fast-moving animals and kids can make him a little nervous, so he would do best as an only pet or with another mellow companion — a fellow laid-back small dog or a quiet cat who also appreciates the fine art of relaxing.

What Kenobi truly loves is the simple life:

• Warm couch snuggles

• Delicious treats (he considers himself a connoisseur)

• Gentle neck rubs

• Being close to his favorite human

He’s basically your own tiny retired gentleman who would happily supervise movie nights, nap schedules, and snack time. But be careful on the snacks, he is very overweight, so it’s best if food and treats are monitored.  He will need someone to help guide him on his weight loss journey towards that summer bod.

If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will trade you endless affection for a cozy spot on the couch, Kenobi might just be your perfect match. This sweet old soul has been through a lot, and now he’s ready to spend his golden years exactly where he belongs — in a loving  home.
