Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This little boy is approx 5-7 years old and 16 lbs. He is just beautiful and very sweet. We are not sure of his breed mix, maybe cairn terrier. He has a very soft coat. He seems to be quite well house and leash trained. He absolutely loves toys, any type he will play with and loves to play fetch, except he won't give you back the you just sits and plays with it. The vet says he may have a slight luxating patella but did not suggest any surgery for him. He gets around fine. He is a really nice dog, loves to play with his buddies,sleeps in his doggie bed or in a big armchair which seems to be his favorite spot. He is going to be a super nice dog for someone. As a result of age, he has developed nuclear sclerosis of the eyes which is considered a normal change to the lenses of the eyes. It usually develops in both eyes simultaneously. The condition isn’t painful. It comes on gradually, and pets are able to adapt very well to the minor changes in vision that occur.
The total adoption donation of $475 and includes the required interstate health certificate and transport , spay/neuter, shots including rabies, bordatella, parvo, lepto, distemper and canine influenza, and micro chip with a lifetime pre paid registration. The total amount is payable to Shaggy Dog Rescue which is a 501c3. Some of our dogs are still in TX in foster care.
