Cute Sookie came into the care of Dogs Friends in March 2025 as part of a mother-daughter pair. After a year of trying to find a home together, it has been decided to try to find them separate homes. Due to being a pair for so long, her new home will need to be a little special. Meantime, she is in foster care in Weston-super-Mare.
Sookie is a Chihuahua and almost 8 years old (born April 2018). She is incredibly sweet and clearly feels a lot of emotion but seeks to please. Her eagerness to please makes her very receptive to training. She craves attention and cuddles and isn’t shy to show you when it’s time for strokes. When she’s ready and really happy, Sookie loves nothing more than grabbing a toy and initiating play time.
Once Sookie has welcomed you into her circle, she is incredibly people-oriented and fiercely loyal. Because she is used to having her mother, Piper, by her side, Sookie ideally needs a home where someone is around most of the time, particularly during her settling-in period.
Sookie is looking for a pet-free, adult-only home with a family committed to her ongoing training. She is dog reactive, but she has been working on this with the Rescue’s trusted behaviourists and expected to thrive with ongoing training.
Sookie has a prey drive and cannot share her home with cats, birds or other small animals. Despite being a Chihuahua, she is very “springy” and requires a secure garden with 6ft fencing!
Sookie is generally in good health. She has a sensitive stomach managed with a consistent diet of single protein.
Please note: Dogs Friends’ catchment area for rehoming is Somerset and the local surrounding areas (such as Bristol, Bath, Weston Super Mare and Wiltshire). For Sookie, they are ideally looking for a home within a commutable distance from her behaviourists in Brent Knoll, and this will be discussed further with successful applicants.
