My name is Alex!

This puppy is in Tennessee. Adoption Donation $200 if picked up in TN, $275 plus transport fee for out-of-state adoptions.

Alex is a little bundle of joy who bounces into every room with a wiggly wagging bob tail, erect ears and a big smile! This 10.5-month-old Pomeranian / Miniature Pinscher mix weighs 12 pounds and has the perfect mix of playful sweetness and friendly enthusiasm. Alex loves people and runs right up to greet everyone, strangers included. He knows Sit and understands words like Outside and Treat. He does great going potty outside or on a pee pad, so he's well on his way to being fully housetrained. He sleeps quietly in his crate all night, though when morning comes, he will let you know he is ready to start the day with some excited barking. This cheerful pup enjoys chew toys, fetch, romping with other dogs, gentle play with cats, and relaxing on the couch next to his favorite humans. He is patient and kind with kittens that he's fostered with and loves belly rubs, treats, and affection. He walks well on a leash and rides in the car, though car trips make him anxious and he may cry a bit. Alex gets along wonderfully with dogs, cats, kids, and new people, and would do well in almost any home that can offer regular walks, playtime, and continued basic training. If you think Alex might be the perfect addition to your family, apply to adopt today, won't you?

Prior to adoption, all canines and felines are spayed or neutered, have received their age appropriate vaccinations, have been de-wormed for common parasites, and have received treatment for prevention of fleas and ticks. All canines over the age of 6 months have been tested for heartworm. All canines are put on heartworm prevention as soon as possible - this means dogs as soon as they are tested negative. Puppies are put on prevention immediately. All felines, regardless of age, have been tested for Feline Leukemia/FIV. Each animal receives a health check by a licensed veterinarian prior to adoption. Anything else found will be treated by our organization prior to adoption.
