Levi

Chihuahua · Female · Senior · 9 years

Levi came to us when her owner was admitted to hospital, sadly, the lady is not fit to return home and so Levi needs to find a new home. Despite the masculine name Levi is in fact a very sassy little female. Levi has what us Chihuahua lovers might call “character” but what others may call “a bad attitude” and she needs careful handling! Levi arrived with us with overgrown nails and a flea infestation so had some nursing required before we could advertise her for rehoming. She’s currently having steroids to calm down the inflammation caused by the fleas. Levi needed to be muzzled to have her veterinary assessment, vaccinations and nails clipped. Levi had a slight wobble in her back legs when she first arrived, the vet thinks it could be neurological but it has improved as her health has. Levi will guard her food and has made contact with us for trying to get between her and her food bowl so will need a confident owner that she can’t bully! She can be bathed and brushed and picked up but doesn’t like to be grabbed or restrained. Levi loves a cuddle and wants up on your knee all the time, when staff dogs aren’t here she’ll stay in the office with us all day which she adores. Levi does not like other dogs and will bark at them to keep them away. The rehoming fee is £250. 00 for all dogs. Applications will close once we find a suitable applicant.

About Levi

What life with Levi looks like

Levi is a senior chihuahua dog waiting at Perthshire Abandoned Dog Society in Perth.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Levi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Levi?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Perthshire Abandoned Dog Society handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Levi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Levi if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Perthshire Abandoned Dog Society will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Levi already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Levi isn't the right fit?: Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Perthshire Abandoned Dog Society early rather than rehoming privately; they know Levi and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?: TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
