Story
This friend has just arrived because their owner could no longer keep them. While owners can provide some history on their pets, our medical and behavioral teams will still evaluate them. Dogs that have lived in homes previously typically have some training established, but we cannot guarantee that those behaviors will remain consistent in a new home environment. They are pending interactions with other animals at the shelter until they have been cleared by our vet. Our staff will spend some time getting to know them and we will update their bio with more information as we learn. If you are interested in adopting this dog, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific dog but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! All household members, including children and other dogs, must come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, fecal testing, heartworm testing, and a small bag of food to get you started.

House-trained,
Story
Dog Name: Coffee Breed: Chihuahua Mix Sex:  female  Age: 3 years  Weight: 12.5 pounds   Medical Needs: none   Housebroken: yes, she's not had a single accident in my home so far.   Crate trained: yes, she is crated while I'm at work    Good in the car: yes. She is a very well behaved passenger and sits still and quietly in the backseat    Good on a leash: Coffee LOVES to go on walks but can pull and get rowdy if she sees other dogs or a feline.   Energy level: high. Coffee can be hyper when she's excited, but also loves it when it's time to settle down and will snuggle in your lap.   Need a fenced in yard: not necessarily, but she would really enjoy having the space to run free and DIG! Adopters need to be willing to crate train if they don't have a yard as she may dash out when you arrive home.   Dog Friendly: yes, with slow introductions. She doesn't like unfamiliar dogs but loves the 3 dogs she lives with in her current foster home.   If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? Not necessarily but would enjoy a small dog friend    Cat Friendly? She has only met stray felines in the neighborhood and she's not a fan of them. She will try and go after them. Not a friend to felines.   Kid Friendly: not tested, but I don't recommend her being in a home with small children due to her size, mouthy behaviors, and it takes her a while to warm up to people.   If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? I would recommend 13+    Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them? Coffee is an extremely sweet girl once she gets to know you. When she first arrived in my care, she did not like me at all. She showed some cage aggression and fearful reactions until she learned I am a safe person. On day 3 she jumped up on my bed on her own and slowly approached, gave my face a lick, and she's been wonderful ever since.    Adopters must be aware of her fears with new people and be willing to give her time and space to get comfortable and build confidence in her new home.   Fosters Location: Berlin MD    Application can be found here: https://www.grrde.org/adoption-application (if you already have an approved application on file email GrassRootsDE@gmail.com and ask the app team to pull your app ##2349427##
