She  loves playing with her rope toys, and wrestling with the bigger dogs. She also enjoys going for walks and does well on the leash. Nell is also a snuggly little one and loves it when we hold her and likes being rocked to sleep . we don’t often have puppies so we might be enjoying this a little too much. She’s working on her crate training and will cry initially but settles down after a few minutes.  Fosters Location: DoverApplication 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 ##2036264##

Story
This friend has just arrived to us on transport from a high-intake shelter partner! When our friends are new to us, we are often unsure of their full background. Our staff will spend some time getting to know them and update their bio with more information as we learn. They are pending interactions with animals until they have been cleared by our vet. Please note that we often are unsure of house, crate, car, and leash training status upon arrival. 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.

Story
Dog Name: TalisaBreed: chihuahua Sex: fAge: 7 to 8Weight: 10 or less lbsMedical Needs: None, UTD on vaccines and spayed Housebroken: yes, as long as you walk her as soon as she starts searching for you or howling in her crate. Crate trained: yesGood in the car:  yesGood on a leash: yes  energy level; medNeed a fenced in yard: noDog Friendly: yesIf yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive home? Yes, due to her anxiety while being alone it’s best that she has a buddy to keep her calm.Cat Friendly: yes Kid Friendly: yesIf yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? Over 5 because she is little and older.  Special traits:Talisa is a confident little lady who trots along well on her leash exploring her surroundings. She will try very hard to communicate her feelings with you if she’s hungry, needs to potty or just wants attention. She will howl at you until her needs are met. She loves to be near her people but also enjoys basking in the sunshine on the porch and snoozing in her bed after a long walk. Talisa was part of a hoarding situation so it’s important that she has another dog in the house to help ease the anxiety when left alone. She’s also an escape artist and it’s recommended that you walk her or watch her like a hawk in your fenced in yard.  Foster location: Dover, Delaware  ##1951507##
