Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Tiny 8.5 lb Pilgrim is one of seven shelter dogs we squeezed in during Thanksgiving. This little guy was picked up as a stray. His owner actually came in to the shelter to claim him. After finding out the various redemption fees, he said he was going to look into neuter options and would get back to the shelter. The shelter never heard from him again.
Pilgrim had a rough time in the kennel environment. He didn't like the chaos and noise. He spent almost a whole month in the shelter because of his owner hold and because there is very little adoption traffic. Finally he made it on a rescue transport.
Pilgrim is a sweet, tiny boy. He is a little shy at first but as he decompressed, he is got braver and bolder. He really wants to be with people. He loves sitting on laps and would be thrilled to get to cuddle in the big bed.
Pilgrim would like a home with a small canine buddy (the bigger doxies intimidate him) and older or no children. He wants someone to take him on daily walks to make up for all his missed socialization as a puppy.
We've had Pilgrim neutered, micro chipped and vaccinated. He is crate trained.
His tax deductible adoption fee is $300.
