Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Sherman is a chihuahua/dachshund who was pulled from an Animal Control Facility after they took him in as a stray. He was covered in fleas and had no hair. The yeast infection and skin irritation from the fleas had caused all of his hair to fall out. He was shy and timid and very thin. But now he has most of him hair back and his skin is well on its way to being healed. He is gaining a little weight but still has a way to go on that one. He is about 10 lbs and was born around 06/01/2021. He is very shy and will often pee when nervous about meeting new people. But he is getting more confident with each day. He is looking for someone to love and someone who will love him right back. He is very sweet and loving once he gets to know you but is not aggressive or mean in any way - just timid and nervous. His adoption fee is $250. If you are interested, please go to pawspaws.org to complete the PAWS application. Meet and greets will be set up once we have approved your application. Thanks so much for your interest!
