SULLY & BOO - CHIHUAHUA (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: Chihuahua (short coat). Adoption Fee: $350. AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION! Boo and Sully have had a rough past few months. After a tragic house fire, their family was displaced and their mama made the difficult decision to surrender them to the shelter so they could find another loving home. We promised the shelter we’d keep them together as they’ve been through so much already. Boo is a year old female around 12-13 lb and has the white on her body. Sully is the light tan male, about three years old and 7-8 lb. They can be timid at first but love love love to cuddle. Boo will squeeze herself in between you and Sully if he’s getting too much attention! Boo and Sully are crate trained and housebroken and they are fine with other dogs. A quiet home with older or no kids is probably where they’d be most content. Sully is heartworm positive and is currently on doxycycline prior to treatment in February, which will be covered by Almost Home. They are available for adoption now with commitment to bring Sully for his heartworm treatment appointments at our vet partner. He will require limited activity for about six weeks post-treatment, but we don’t anticipate a problem with that as he’s a pretty chill, snuggly little dude. If you have any questions about this pair or are interested in giving them a loving forever home, email almosthome4dogsyahoo. (Local adoptions preferred — Philadelphia and tri-state area [South Jersey and northern Delaware] only.) PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTACTING US! We are NOT a shelter: All of our dogs live in private homes with foster families. Come and meet the Almost Home dogs and their fosters at our Meet & Greet events, where you can learn more about our wonderful dogs from the people who live with them, find out which dogs are on their way and when they’ll arrive, and fill out an application to adopt or foster. We cannot adopt to homes where electric-shock fencing systems or training collars are used. For more information on the dangers of electric-shock collars, please visit banshockcollars.ca/studies.php and .hollysden/say_no_to_shock.htm (scroll down and click on the "Invisible Fencing Systems" link). We do not have an online adoption application; to request an application, e-mail us at AlmostHome4Dogsyahoo. To speed e-mail processing time, be sure to note the name of the dog you are inquiring about in the Subject line. For Meet & Greet times and locations, visit our home page, where you also will find information on our adoption process and fees. FOSTER FAMILIES ARE LIFESAVERS!! Can you open your heart and home for a few weeks to homeless shelter dog? Remember, by fostering a dog, you save TWO lives — that of your foster dog, and that of the dog who takes his place in the shelter! Come to a Meet & Greet and find out if fostering is for you — there's no reward quite like the feeling that you've saved a life ... or two!
