Sweetie

Chihuahua Pug

Female, Senior
Columbus, OH
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Are you the type of person that likes to give sweet older pups a chance they might otherwise not get? Sweetie loves attention and will happily help you out by guarding the door of the bathroom from the inside. However, she can also be quite the independent little lady and doesn’t need to be a velcro dog… unless you want her to be! Sweetie can be a little bossy with her dog friends (part of why we think she’s mixed with chihuahua!) but generally gets along well with everyone. Sweetie is a beauty but would benefit from a little tough love when it comes to feeding and giving out treats and a little more activity in her day. A physically fenced yard is required. Sweetie is available for adoption in Ohio to residents of Ohio.

Story
ABOUT ME… My name is BooBoo! I am guesstimated to be an approximate 2-year-old yorkie/chihuahua mix. I ended up at the big loud scary county shelter with an unknown history. I was struggling with some fear and anxiety in the shelter setting, so COPAW pulled me outta there. Now I am enjoying the great life of demanding love and affection from the humans whenever I desire. I especially love to be carried around in a sling, so I am always by your side! I AM GREAT WITH… -People, dogs, and cats! -Basic commands! My favorite one is to “sit pretty” for my treats! I AM STILL WORKING ON… -Housebreaking. I am scheduled to be neutered on 4/16/25, but I am admittedly a bit of a marker. ___ VETTING... ~All animals in our care are spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested (age 1 & up), given preventatives, and provided with initial vaccinations AT MINIMUM. ~If booster shots have not been completed prior to adoption, they may be completed at our clinic in Columbus, OH at no additional expense. Alternatively, the adopter can use their own vet to boost vaccinations, at their own expense. TERMS & CONDITIONS... ~Adopters must reside in the State of Ohio. ~No transportation assistance is provided; adopter must commute for meet & greet. ~Meet & greets are not scheduled until there is an approved adoption application on file. ~The expectation is that you will bring your new pet home from the meet & greet, if all goes well. Please be prepared to do so by bringing a collar, leash, harness, crate, etc. to secure your new pet.
