Story
Griffin is at our Everyday Adoption Center inside of PetSmart South Gate Market! Stop by anytime during open hours to meet him! This sweet pup is neutered and fully healthy! They are up to date on vaccines. They are also microchipped! 💧: Working on Housebreaking: Making progress with a consistent schedule and positive reinforcement. 🏠: Prefers to be free-roam to a doggy-proofed area as opposed to a crate. 🚶: Leash walking: So far, so good! 🐶: Dog-friendly: Gets along with other dogs and may enjoy having a canine companion. 😺: Cat-friendly: Not sure, this pup hasn't met cats with us yet! Slow intro needed if adopted into a home with a cat. 🧒 Kid-friendly: We are still learning about this pup! 🧬 This pet has not been DNA tested, we are unsure of their actual breed makeup, but these are the breeds we think they look like! 💰 Griffin’s adoption fee is $300, and this sweet pup can't wait to meet you! 🩷 Next steps: Email adopt@onetail.org with questions, or submit an application online and we'll be in touch to schedule a meeting: https://www.onetail.org/apply-to-adopt/.

Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
I have a liver shunt as well as a grade 2 left luxating patella and a grade 3 right luxating patella. I need to be on a liver diet forever as well as medical management with metronidazole, lactulose, and levetiracetam. Surgery may be possible with a consult/CT scan to determine the full scope of my shunt, but in the meantime, my condition is really well managed with medication and special food! My adopters should be prepared for ongoing veterinary consultation about my condition (which, honestly, because I'm doing just fine right now, may not be any more frequent than annual checkins like a regular dog). Please don't be scared away by my condition!

Story
APPLICATION FIRST REQUIREMENT - VISIT WEBSITE ADOPTION INFO PAGE Just call her CHARLIE. It's short for Charlotte. She took WFTRM Rescue by storm and Chicago is feeling her tiny13 pounds of puppy personality. She is an adorable Ginger Wire Fox Terrier girl who is 7 months old. A busy little girl packed with jumping, running, squealing, playing and pushing for attention with a little mouthing your hands thrown in for extra sass. She has been zooming all over the back yard, looking for critters in every nook, running zoomies, coming in noshing on a big No Hide, tossing and squeaking toys, unravelled the toilet tissue and just fearless. A good watch dog too – bark bark at noises and seeing stuff out the window. She plays a game when she knows you want to pick her up – darting past, zig zagging and have to be quick to nab her. She has been settling in the short time here – I don’t crate dogs but use gates and when she has her fill of outside, she comes right back inside so nicely on her own. She is not bad in the car but not good on a leash and going to the vet and seeing other dogs makes her whine, scream and get all excited. Charlie is an owner surrender who previously had two female Wire Fox Terriers and thought another girl would round out the empty home and purchased her from the breeder at 8 weeks old. They love her but living in a condo has been challenging with a surprise heart surgery in September for mom making their decision that would be best for her. Charlie is a wonderful little girl who will need a terrier experienced home with lots of time and patience to spend training, working with her on obedience and socialization, leash walking and shoring up house training, a fenced yard a must to release the energy. She is actually good at night sleeping through quiet as a mouse. She is a smart girl, knows sit and wants to please and she will cuddle on her terms. Charlie is Spayed, Rabies, Distemper, Bordatella vaccinations, full Blood Panel good, Ears cleaned, MicroChipped and had a Cytopoint injection as she had some environmental allergies this fall.
