Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Bambino, our awesome little guy is 51/2 years young and 5 lbs of pure adorableness!
This little chihuahua perfection was a breeder surrendered, but is as sweet as can be.
Despite his sad past., he is ready for his new forever home.
He is great with other dogs, and also comfortable in a crate ( aka crate-trained). He will need practice on a leash so that walks are fun and exciting! He will be good with cats and kids, but will need introductions.
Bambino will do best in a home with another dog to show him the ropes. He is potty trained to use a doggie door, and will do well on potty pads once he understands. He is shy around people and doesn't like to be held, but that is from being in a kennel. Give this sweet boy some time and unconditional love, and he will be the best little love bug ever!
Interested in becoming a forever home to Bambino? Fill out our online adoption application: http://www.friendswithfourpaws.org/adoption-form.html This is the first step in our process, and we don't go any further without an application.
Find more adoptable pets, news and information on Instagram @friendswithfourpaws or our Facebook page Friends with Four Paws .
We put a lot of time and energy into processing our adoptions to find our babies the best fit home for them and you. Please do not submit an application if you are not serious about adopting Bambino.
We are so excited to work with you to find you a new forever friend, and Bambino, the perfect forever home, and appreciate you working with us.
For immediate consideration, please attach your application to the initial inquiry to help us expedite the process.
Our adoption fee is $475. This includes their spay/neuter surgery, full (age appropriate) vaccinations, microchip insertion and registration, deworming, heartworm testing and prevention, flea and tick prevention and travel expenses.
All of our dogs are rescued from local shelters and the general public. Each dog is then placed in a foster home where he/she is kept for quarantine, to ensure if the dog gets sick it can receive proper treatment. We have foster homes in the NJ/NY area waiting to receive their fosters. Once an animal has received an application or there's an adopter interested, we make arrangements for transport. If a dog is already in foster care in NYC/NJ, an adopter will be put in touch with the foster home AFTER an application is being processed.
Thank you in advance for your patience with our process and for making adoption YOUR option!
