My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Chihuahua Mix
Age: 1 year
Male, Neutered
7 lbs

Adoption Fee: $125 (includes spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations)

Checkers looks like he should be riding a fire truck to the next big fire, but he is probably just a Chihuahua mix with some interesting markings.

Checker’s story is a tear-jerker. He was running loose in Hayward with another small dog. Somehow they made it onto Interstate 880. His companion was hit and killed by a car. Checkers stayed by the dog’s side where CHP officers then rescued him and took him to the Hayward Shelter. No one came to claim him.

Checkers struggled in the shelter. He was very scared and reactive in his kennel. Once staff got him out of the kennel, he sought protection and comfort in their laps. He was not cooperative with the vet check, so he was referred to Nobody’s Perfekt Dogs.

In his foster home and at the adoption center, Checkers is cuddly with people and with other dogs. He needs constant companionship. If potential adopters are not home, then another friendly dog in the home is a requirement. Checkers gets along with most of the dogs in his foster home. He does some lap guarding when the bigger dogs come around, but he is young and needs some guidance and training.
