Story
Please read the entire bio for this rescue, it will provide all the information that one needs to decide if they would like to apply to adopt from SCMR.Sadie   Adoption fee:  $600.00   Update: Sadie had liver shunt surgery at the University of Tennessee Wed., Nov. 19th. We were fortunate that Dr. Karen Tobias performed the surgery. And Sadie did great! She just had her 2 week check up and passed with flying colors. Plus she's up to 8 pounds now! She's full of vinegar and ready for a wonderful, normal life! A devoted family of her own would make this Christmas - her first Christmas - her best! Just remember-Because Sadie is so young, we must invoke our Seniors for Seniors policy: applicants 70 and older will not be considered for dogs 7 and under. We encourage these applicants to look at our seniors who still have a lot of love to give. Seniors for seniors, it's a natural match up!     Sadie is  blur of activity! At 6 months old, this Shiz Tzu/Poodle mix is still learning house manners. She's around 6 pounds now and loves to cuddle, play with other dogs and chew on fingers. Paper too...got a paper shredder here! She's a loving baby and knows no strangers. She tends to come when called so I think she recognizes her name. This little ink spot is just too cute for words!   Sadie was born with a liver shunt. She's scheduled for surgery Nov. 18th at the University of Tennessee vet school.This surgery will be in excess of $4000.00. We will reserve Sadie and waive her fee for anyone who will contribute a major portion or all of her surgical expenses as long as they meet our adoption criteria.    Because Sadie is so young, we must invoke our Seniors for Seniors policy: applicants 70 and older will not be considered for dogs 7 and under. We encourage these applicants to look at our seniors who still have a lot of love to give. Seniors for seniors, it's a natural match up!    Adoption fee: $600.00 Out-of-state adoptions are possible; however, the approved adoptive home is responsible for making the necessary arrangements to pick up their new little one.  To be considered to adopt me, please fill out an APPLICATION.  NOTE: SCMR does not adopt to homes with children under the age of 10 years or homes with Electric Fences.

Female, Senior
Chattanooga, TN
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Memaw came from our grandmother. She is a friendly, energetic 9 year old. Ideally, her experienced companion person would be a home-body that stays active with her as she is a velcro-dog. She’ll jog or chase a ball, but doesn’t care for chew toys. Memaw loves warm laps by the TV. Her person would need to patiently set boundaries as she barely knows “sit” & “lay down” & will likely eat things she shouldn’t when unsupervised. So she needs a calm, clean home. She needs more house training because she grew up with a doggy door, but luckily she’s good on leash walks. Though she’s friendly with animals, she’s doesn’t understand boundaries, & may be too much for them. Memaw is currently praise & treat-motivated as she is underweight (14lbs) but should be about 16-18lbs, so extra meals & potty breaks are required till then. She has mild skin allergies, but knows groomers & is mostly calm on car rides. She’s had puppies before, but is now spayed. She has one shorter ear due to an old injury.
