~2 yr old, 11 lb Border Terrier/Min Pin/Chihuahua (?) Mix NEUTERED MALE needs ADOPTION
Meet Mister ThunderEGG Gem!
ThunderEgg Available for foster-to-adopt or adopt. He is being neutered on Monday 2/13
ThunderEgg was dumped in front of our vet clinic with a litter of puppies
The first day, he was assumed to be ”mom” until the vet did their exams and found all 4 dogs had a penis
We think he’s a Border Terrier and MinPin mix (likely chihuahua too because you know…)
He’s around 3-4 years old and 11 lbs
He’s shy for like 32.5 seconds and then he wants to be INSIDE you.
Needs to build confidence in public and we suggest obedience or trick training (we will pay for first session of classes) because learning a command and getting rewarded for doing that command builds confidence in dogs
He was likely used only as a breeder for his whole life until last week so it’s all he knows. He’s a humpy-McHumpster so right now a home with dogs who are larger than him OR are good at appropriate corrections would be great. He could be an only dog if his people were incredibly active.
His neuter is pending and he’s otherwise fully vetted and healthy
We think he would do best in a home who was active daily with hikes, walks, runs etc — he has terrier energy x 2. He NEEDS an outlet as he is VERY active
He would likely be a great barn hunt, agility, obedience candidate for competitive sport homes or 4-H
He is fine with older children. His energy level might be a bit much for children under 5 but all kids are different and you know yours
He ignores cats in his foster home
No signs of aggression. He has been a little barky but it also seems like nervousness in his new environment (he went from breeder, to vet to new foster in less than a week). Unless you work from home or are a hermit who never leaves, an apartment or wall-sharing close neighbors would probably not be a good idea at least initially (he has improved significantly) .
He is a LOVE with his humans. He will cover you in all the kisses you can handle. He wants to go where you go. enjoys running errands to Home Depot or Starbuck meetings with friends.
If you are interested in adopting or foster to adopting this sweet boy who just needs his opportunity to find his place in this world, please send us a detailed email to beourpet@gmail.com .

Umbrella of Hope does not have any strict rules on ages of children because all children are different, but our best approximation is that this animal would do best with children over the age of 5
Umbrella of Hope is an all-volunteer, donation-run, non-profit animal rescue based out of Pittsburg, CA that rescues animals from local shelters, places them in private foster homes, provides them with needed medical care and then finds them new homes.
Also, ask us about our seniors for seniors program, where we adopt animals 5 years or older to qualified homes with a $5 donation as an adoption fee. All animals are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, treated for parasites and given any additional treatments (dental work, bloodwork etc) as recommended by our vet.
