My name is Dewey!

Meet Dewey!

He came in with Gizmo when their family was moving and they couldn't take Gizmo and Dewey with them. Dewey is 7-8 years old and weighs around 13lbs. He appears to be a chihuahua mix. He was very nervous when he first arrived, but has relaxed more after spending some time with us. He is looking for someone who understands chihuahuas and that will give him time to open up. We believe he would do best in a home free from small children that might not respect his space.

Dewey did test positive for heartworm. He has started treatment. However, we'd love for him to relax in a home until he finishes his treatment. He is currently only available for foster or foster to adopt. He will likely be cleared for adoption in August. Al-Van completely covers the cost of treating heartworm, his foster would be responsible for brining Dewey to his vet appointments. His foster has to live within a reasonable drive to South Haven, MI.

He is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. If you are interested in fostering to adopt Dewey please fill out an application at al-van.org/adopt.

*Some pet-finding websites aside from our own are very slow to update after an animal is adopted, and this is outside of our control. To see the most up-to-date list of animals available, please go to al-van.org/adopt.*
