Earlier than her being surrendered, Chichi lived a quiet existence with an older girl and was once more than pleased. Sadly, she has had a stricken few months and is now in search of some other house.
Chichi is small, lovable and beautiful, however she wishes an working out, skilled adopter who can provide her the time to conform and house to revel in herself on her phrases.
This might be Chichi’s 5th adoptive house, and due to this fact it’s paramount that it’s the proper surroundings for her. When she feels protected and has bonded together with her handler, Chichi is loving, affectionate and likes to have interaction.

Chichi has been behaviourally assessed (evaluate is to be had to learn on request) and the observations the behaviourist got here away with have been that: Chichi will also be tough to learn.
We predict this has been exacerbated by means of her transferring house such a lot of instances just lately and has led to her to really feel unsettled and annoyed.
Chichi solicits consideration however would seem irritating when stroked. She would then then again paw and bark the behaviourist for extra.
We consider that she seeks human consideration, however is conflicted about it on the similar time, so will have to be with an skilled adopter who will also be responsive to indicators when she has had sufficient. Chichi is most often just right with ladies however may have difficulties with males.
It sort of feels that she is worse with tall males, or the ones dressed in darkish clothes. Chichi has demonstrated that she will be able to deal with men when presented slowly however she prefers the corporate of girls.
That is in all probability because of restricted publicity or interactions with males all through her existence (we do know she was once previously owned by means of two unmarried ladies in properties one and two). Chichi prefers to be left by myself to snooze than taken out and about and has virtually no want to move out for a stroll rather than to the bathroom.
