MUFFIN- ADOPTED 3-30-24! - CHIHUAHUA / ITALIAN GREYHOUND / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: Chihuahua / Italian Greyhound / Mixed. Muffin is 3 years old, born 10-2-20. 6.5-7 lbs. He is unique in both looks and personality! Tall and slender. His mom looked like an Italian greyhound/ chihuahua mix. He was born very premature, at 1-2 oz. He has semi-long, straight hypoallergenic fur. Very smart. He is used to being here and will likely be nervous at first in a new home. He would probably do best with other dogs there. He does very well with other small dogs, especially young ones, and he does well in a pack. He's appointed himself babysitter of the puppies here and plays with them. He LOVES toys and can play fetch - and he will be best friends with anyone that throws his favorite toy for him! But he's not a dog that will go on walks - he doesn't like leashes or harnesses. He also doesn't like being carried/held for long periods. He does sit next to us on the couch. To give him practice being in a home, he's spent some time in a foster home, where he started off well behaved but scared. It helped him to have a space like a crate to go when he wanted alone time. He also wasn't sure what his job should be (since he was used to looking after the puppies here), but then he figured his job was to help his foster mom. On his most recent stay he had hardly any shyness anymore. One issue is that he didn't want to eat dog food in the home (which he does at the rescue) but he would eat treats and some of his favorite human foods (like bread and Chinese food). *Note that young dogs and pure breeds are at the highest end of our prices.* Please find our applications and valuable information under "Adopt a dog"* on our website: *.beaglesandbuddies* and email your application to beaglesandbuddiesgmail.

We update our website daily and are always rescuing, vetting, rehabilitating, socializing. ​ Are you my furrever family? For further info on the adoption process, please visit our home page and check out the "Adopt a Dog" section, which has thorough instructions. All our dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and fully vaccinated before adoption; they have been wormed, bathed, socialized, walked daily and much loved; each adoptee leaves with a leash, collar, and all medical records. Our prices are higher than the shelters' because we nurse the dogs through their illnesses and get them needed surgeries and dentals. We also spend time socializing. Furthermore, unlike shelters, rescues do not get financial aid from the government and must rely on donations, grants, and adoption fees. Our fees for adults start at $150 and usually go up to $750. Young adults that are high in demand may be a little over $750.00. For puppies and purebreds, we charge up to $1000. The lower end is for dogs who have been here a while. The good news is that, because rescues fall under the "charity" category, the fees for our dogs are officially donations and are therefore tax deductible. You can think of it as donating to a worthy cause and getting a dog in return! Sponsor Me Beagles & Buddies must find ways to raise money so we can continue saving dogs. Your tax-deductible donation keeps our rescue kennel operating! Hours Friday: 10 am to 3 pm Saturday: 10 am to 3 pm Sunday: 10 am to 3 pm Monday: CLOSED Tuesday: CLOSED Wednesday: CLOSED Thursday: CLOSED ​ Weekday appointments may be available. We are a small staff and do our best to accommodate your needs. **Note that during COVID, we are not holding open houses on any day.
