Story
Meet Clark!
Clark is a 3 year old, 15 pound male chihuahua mix who came to CRT from Tijuana, Mexico, via a rescue transport from Mutt Mutt Engine in early January. His foster family thinks he is part Chihuahua, part dachshund, and possibly mixed with another breed(s).
Clark is a very sweet dog and loves his people. He will follow you around the house and wants to be where you are. If you’re sitting, he is on your lap and when you’re in bed he happily sleeps all night under the covers. He is also very protective of his people and when new people come into the home he is slow to warm up to them. Clark would do best in a home with a fence, as he has quite a large dog bark and just loves to run in the backyard because he has a lot of energy to burn outside. When inside, Clark is a couch/bed/lap potato. He is very good with recall and currently knows the commands sit and stay.
Clark still needs work on his potty training. Currently he wears a belly band around the house. Clark also needs some training to teach him not to jump on his people, especially at mealtimes. Clark is treat motivated and with time and gentle patience he should be able to conquer both of these challenges. Clark strives to please! Leash walking will also need consistent effort, as it has been hard with the rough winter for his foster family to work consistently on that. He is currently being fostered in southeast Michigan.
Clark gets along well with other small dogs, seems okay with bigger non-dominant dogs, and is uncertain about cats. He likely would not be a good fit for a home with young children.
Clark’s adoption donation is $300.
Clark is on monthly heartworm prevention. He has been fully vetted and is up to date on vaccinations. He has been neutered and microchipped.
If you are interested in the above dog, please do not email us and tell us that you are interested, but submit an adoption application. The link for the application is below.
To submit an application go here……chihuahua-rescue.com/adoption-application/
An application must be submitted and approved before a meet-n-greet can be scheduled.
Your current dogs/cats must be spayed or neutered unless a veterinarian has determined that your current pet(s) should not be fixed due to medical reasons. They must also be up-to-date on shots and on HW preventative.
Reference checks and a home visit are required so midwest dogs can only be adopted in OH, KY, MI, WI, and IL.
