Here's what the humans have to say about me:
As you may know, each Pokemon has special abilities. Charmander is, quite simply, charming! He is the largest, friendliest and most out-going of all the pups in this litter. He's the first to come when you call, and the last to leave to go play. He loves people and wants to be with you, either at your side or better yet, in your lap. He is also very social, and plays nicely with his siblings and adult dogs.
Based on appearance--look at those ears!! --we think he is a hound mix, maybe Beagle or Treeing Walker Coonhound. Since this is just a guess, only those willing to take pot-luck in terms of his ultimate breed and size should apply. But he is definitely a hound, which means he would be a good choice for an active family. Hounds are smart and affectionate, and make good companions and family dogs. Some breeds are easier to train than others, but all need vigorous daily exercise.
Because he is small (under 12 pounds) and young (12 weeks on 6/21), Charmander needs a family where someone is home part or all of the day to get him potty-trained, keep him well-socialized and exercised. Puppy obedience school is also required.
You can meet Charmander at his current foster home, Wilmette Pet Center, 625 Green Bay Rd., during normal store hours (847-251-6750, www.wilmettepetcenter.com). Though you may want to take him home on the spot, please know you will have to go through our normal application process. These pups are so cute you might be tempted to "catch 'em all," so if Charmander is not available, take a look at his siblings!
His adoption fee of $375 includes: vet exam, DAPP (distemper combo) vaccination, bordetella vaccination, microchip, deworming, flea and tick prevention, heartworm preventative and neuter.
