** PLEASE EMAIL questions, please DO NOT call. We are a volunteer based group and are unable to handle the call volume. ** PLEASE fill out the adoption interest application at: https://apath4paws.org/adoption-application/ (copy and paste into your browser) Checkers is about 2 yrs old. He was rescued from a breeder where he was bred for greed. He will never be used as a money maker again. He is learning how to be a dog, and already loves toys. He will need to be leash trained and housebroken as he lived in a wire cage, not part of a family. He might do best in a playpen style enclosure instead of a crate. He needs a secure yard for pottie times since he does not understand the leash yet. This will also make it much easier to house train. He is interested in a family with bulldog experience and is not a great candidate for a first time dog owner due to his history. This breed CAN NOT be left outdoors due to the the special care required with their "pushed in" faces, and unusual structure. They can overheat very quickly. Frenchies can come with some health issues as they get older. Pet Insurance is a must for this breed. More will be known about me soon. A Path 4 Paws holds adoption events at our Adoptions Center, located at 232 N. Jones Blvd, Suite 170 right next to CAL Ranch (North Jones/ I-95). Please bring your dog(s) for a meet and greet (if applicable) Please bring your entire family so everyone can meet. If you are interested in Checkers , please contact dogrescuelv@hotmail.com to confirm the dog you are interested in, will be attending that particular event. We have limited space at the store, therefore we can not take every dog out to the event. This pet comes with 30 days of free post-adoption support through Petcademy.org . This benefit includes free access to Petcademy's team of trainers/behaviorists, as well as access to online materials that will help you settle Checkers into your home. You can text unlimited questions to Petcademy and they'll respond within 24 hours, Monday-Friday. This pet is spayed/neutered, has current vaccinations and includes a microchip, deworming and 2 free vet visits, including a Healthy Start Certificate with the VCA Hospitals with a $250 health credit (restrictions apply).
