Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Twinkie! She is a 3 yr old chihuahua who weighs about 6 lbs. Twinkie came to us through Animal Rescue Corps from a puppy mill bust in Kankakee County, Illinois. Typical of puppy mill dogs, Twinkie is nervous and undersocialized. She needs a patient family, preferably with experience with puppy mill dogs, who will give her a safe and loving environment in which to learn how to be a dog. She needs a family who will accept her as she is and let her develop in her own time. We would like to place her with another dog in a home with a secured fenced in yard. She is not completely housetrained or leash trained, but is doing well at using a pee pad. Twinkie's adoption fee of $200 goes to help cover the cost of her medical care.
If you are interested in adopting, please complete an adoption application, which can be found on our website at www.perfectpooches.org under the Adoption Process tab. All dogs are spayed/neutered, current on vaccines, heartworm tested (as appropriate), fecal tested, and microchipped.
