Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Pip is one very tiny tiny puppy. At about 8 weeks old he is barely over two pounds and we are guessing he will only be around five pounds when full grown. We can hardly imagine how tiny he was when he was first born!!!
Pip was brought to a shelter as a stray and could not understand why he was all by himself and so was a very sad boy who cried a lot. We just could not leave him behind. He is definitely a people lover and follows whoever he can very closely in hopes he will be carried everywhere. After all, it is a huge world for a very tiny boy.
Though he truly would like to be with people 100% of the time he did take to a crate and will sleep through the night in it without a sound. He is working on potty training but it is a new concept to him, and the crate is helping a lot with that.
Pip is looking for a home where there are no children under ten years old so that they will understand how to handle him gently and not hurt him. He would prefer a home where he gets to be with people nearly all the time and even go everywhere with them.
If you think you might be the right new family for Pip please go to our website - throwmeabonedogrescue.org - and click on Adoption Process to get started. There you can read about what we need from you and find the link for our adoption application.
All potential adopters are expected to complete an application and provide pictures of their yard, patio, and/or balcony making sure we can see the fence line and/or railing. The application can be completed and submitted from our website - throwmeabonedogrescue.org - and is found under Resources. Applications will be reviewed for approval before setting an appointment to come meet and possibly adopt the dog of interest. In addition, those who live in a rental property are expected to provide proof that they are allowed to have a dog where they live.
Each of our rescued dogs has been de-wormed if necessary, de-flea'd (with topical treatment if old enough, and by medicated bath if too young), spayed/neutered, microchipped, is up to date on shots, and has been fully examined by a veterinarian. In addition, each adopted dog comes with a starter baggie of the food it has been eating, a few treats for training purposes, a rawhide chew, a lead and collar, and a folder containing pertinent records.
