About Shenzi
Shenzi is an 18 months old male & a Natural Hairless Chinese Crested X Chihuahua, weighing in at 3.6.kg.
He comes with 6 coats (valued at $170), collar & lead, bed, food bowl plus some Blackhawk Fish & Potato (sweet potato) dry food.
Personality :- he wants to be loved, has a lot of love to give & would love being a lapdog. He loves to snuggle next to you & in bed with you at night. He sleeps part under the cover & part on top of the covers. He will guard his ‘preferred’ person (if a couple it will be the woman).. He loves going for walks & walks beautifully on lead, never pulls, when unsure, he comes back to your side.. He has a beautiful recall on the beach, but, be sure to have a treat to reward him with, so you become more important to him than other dogs. \ He is a great little ‘door bell’, to let you know when visitors arrive, but not over yappy.
Preference to where he lives :- this is NOT a dog for a family or grandparents with children or grandchildren under 10yrs of age, due to his ‘guarding’ he will ‘nip’ the backs of children’s legs & adults also, who are not ‘family’ to them, but he will also give a ‘warning growl’. This guarding is something that whoever takes him, needs to be aware of & can put him in a bedroom whenever they have visitors, to keep him safe & to keep their visitors safe. Yes he does love women, but if an older single man was to take him, he would love him equally as well.
Shenzi has had his face & back/front legs shaved & allows this to be done with a 2 blade razor.. He is not at all impressed with being ‘showered or bathed’, his hair has to be ‘shampoo’d & conditioned’ as it is ‘HAIR’ the same as human hair & his body needs moisturizing at least twice a week, something like Sorbolene is good or Coconut oil. No he has not objected at all to being shaved/groomed.
Location :- At this moment Shenzi is in Coffs Harbour NSW with Joe & Liz Phone 0266 515 079 or Liz 0401 152 894 or email :- skindogmum@hotmail.com ------ Yes Liz & Joe have 2 other hairless Chinese crested dogs, so are very familiar with the breed.

Adoption details
The first step is to phone (preferred ) or email Port Macquarie Animal Welfare Service for assessment regarding prospective ownership and pet suitability.
Adoption Application forms must be completed and include a vet reference and photos of yards and fencing. A property inspection will be carried out on properties in the Port Macquarie area.
New dog owners must have a fully secure, fenced yard offering protection from all types of weather, subject to approval by PMAWS.
A 2 week trial period commences on the day of adoption.
All PMAWS dogs & cats are desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, heart & intestinal wormed, flea & tick treated.
Introducing a Kitten/Cat into a new home (especially where either a dog or cat already lives) can be a difficult challenge. It requires patience, perseverance and supervision.
Once your new kitten/cat arrives home, it should be made to feel safe in its own room - we call this the "sanctuary". No other cat or dog should be allowed into this room. The kitten/cat will need bedding, food, water, a view out of a window and somewhere to hide. A good idea in dog and cat families is also a 2 metre tall scratching post, where a kitten/cat can retreat if it needs to. \
Keep the kitten/cat in a room for the first few days, then, gradually, using a series of wooden chocks (or similar), open the door slightly to allow paws and noses to meet. It can then be opened further to allow the kitten/cat in and out, but not the older cat or dog in. We recommend that this should be continued for 14 days.
PMAWS urges all owners to keep their cats indoors.
