Story
~~Although we do our very best to make sure your new pup is in tiptop health before adoption, things could drastically change a month later. Since we don’t have a long health history of your adopted dog, we can only treat the pet for whatever symptoms present during the initial exam and follow up exams.~ Health: ***** He has some hip/back pain at intake and on pain meds for awhile but now he just takes supplements for joints and he's doing well. ***** Temperament: Flannel was a little spicy when he came into the rescue, so he's called Chili in his foster home as often as he is Flannie. It could just be the chihuahua in him or his past. He was found abandoned in a crate with two other dogs on a hot day in a rough part of town in San Francisco. No food or water in a wire crate for days, hot and scared. Luckily a homeless person hiked to a gas station to use their phone to call the local shelter who took them in. He was a mess with matted hair and overgrown nails. He was brave and defended his little buddy but once he was alone with the shelter workers he was a sweetie looking for cuddles. They called Recycled Poms and we made arrangements to pick him up. He's done great here, and is a sweetheart. He loves his foster dad and is usually on his lap, on his blanket on the couch next to him, or curled up on dad's blanket on the floor. I don't think he left the couch for weeks, kind of got possessive for a bit, but he's one of the pack now. Dad and couch still his favorite though. He gets along with all the other littles in the house, and the cat, and the big dog but he tends to try to boss her around, and a little yappy at her. Loves to chase her when she goes out to run. As sweet as he can be he does not like to be surprised so he has bitten (sharp teeth!) when he's unaware of an incoming nudge or pick up. Those have gotten farther apart though. So, he will not be adopted to a home where there will be young children who can be unpredictable. He needs an adopter that can read his body language because he will tell you if he's not liking something. He likes to be carried so he'd be a good traveling companion, but car travel is best in a carrier or belted in the back seat because he likes to get in your lap. He's very food motivated, loves treats and soft foods. He's got a funny little bark and a bad habit of being very vocal about anyone leaving the house. He needs patience with potty training, he wears a belly band now and will wee on just about anything. But his foster home has many dogs now and over the years so hopefully consistency and just his own smells will be all it takes to make him a good boy. He's such a little cutie awaiting his forever home! -- Where did he come from: Stray in San Francisco California Adoption: ***** $500.00 ***** Weight: 7 lbs.
