- Fully-fenced section.
- Own your own home, or have a long-term rental with a supporting letter from your landlord.
- An indoor home.
- Commitment to meet the ongoing costs of the dog, for example: desexing, vet care, grooming, feeding, and suitable care while you are at work or on vacation.
- Experience with training dogs or the willingness to learn.
- Ideally, someone at home for some of the day.

Super Suki *ADOPTED*
Suki is a friendly, outgoing, eight-year-old, Pekingese x Japanese Chin. She is toilet-trained, desexed, loves people, other dogs, gentle children and sleeps quietly in her bed all night.
Suki does suffer from arthritis and takes daily medication with an estimated cost of $5/week. She also suffers from Brachycephalic Airway Syndrome which can be normal for a short-nosed breed. So she does not require walking, however she has personality plus and just loves getting out and about with her person. She would make an entertaining, cheerful, loving companion.
