**A loving home for Nui 🤍**

Meet Aroha Nui—“big love” in Māori—known to us simply as Nui. She’s a five-year-old purebred Chihuahua from Wild West breeders and a beautiful wee soul.

Nui loves her walks, cuddles, and following her person around the house. She’s used to living with cats and is happiest when she has company. She doesn’t like being left alone for long periods, so her ideal home would be with someone who works from home, is retired, or is otherwise home most of the time.

Nui isn’t comfortable around young children, so we’re looking for a home without little ones, where she can feel relaxed and secure.

She’s been very spoiled, including with her meals! She eats home-cooked chicken or cooked mince rather than dog food, so we’re looking for someone happy to continue preparing her meals. She has no known health issues.

Nui has been such a sweet and much-loved part of our family. Unfortunately, I’ve taken on a new role and can’t be home as much as I used to. It’s with a very heavy heart that we’re looking for a new home where she can have the company and attention she deserves.

Finding the right person, couple, or family is what matters most—someone who will love her as much as she’s loved us.

If you feel you could offer Nui that home, please message me and tell me a little about yourself and the life you could offer her.
