Description

Posted Breed: Great Pyrenees / American Staffordshire Terrier / Mixed. DISCLOSURE: The adoptable pets in our program are still in the care and custody of owners who wish to re-home their pet. Owners have enlisted Rescue Well to provide marketing and screening of applicants as a service, free of charge. All fees and adoption conditions are determined by the owner. We advise that adopters do not send payment or deposits for pets prior to adopting. ***** Chili is 4yo, weighs 98lbs, is spayed, is up to date on her vaccines, and is microchipped. Chili knows 'sit', 'come', 'stay', and 'paw'; she loves car rides but dislikes vacuums; Chili is with her family inside the home during the day and sleeps in her crate at nighttime in home as well. Chili's guardian adds: "We love her so much and this was a very difficult decision for my family - she deserves the world. She is very low maintenance with the exception of her fur - She is a heavy shedding breed, but with a few brushes a week, it keeps it down drastically! It's Chili glitter:). With daily brushing, it is barely noticeable. Chili loves being outside within a fenced yard - she LOVES chasing birds and is convinced she can catch them, lol. Sometimes she will just lay and soak up the sun for hours before coming back inside." Chili's guardian explains why he has made the difficult decision to rehome her: "We have had Chili since 8 weeks old, but due to recent health issues, as well as my grandmother I care for, I am looking for a family that has the time Chili deserves to continue loving her." Chili's guardian offers a brief a medical history: Chili had ear infections during puppyhood and once in adulthood, which were resolved. Chili's guardian states the following regarding children: Chili lives with children, currently ages 8 and 13, so her guardian recommends her living with children, stating "Friendly, excited at first then lays down. Tolerates play and petting. Chili's guardian states the following regarding dogs: Although Chili has lived with a dog, her guardian doesn't recommend her living with dogs, stating... "When properly introduced, Chili is great! I use the sit command as dogs pass and she is fine. I will say if the other dog barks or lunges FIRST Chili immediately responds and will bark, snap and lunge. She does not have a lot of experience with new dogs as we did not have the opportunity to fully socialize her. I do not suggest she be in a home with other dogs just because she has only been comfortable with the dogs she is used to within our extended family (that come over to visit). I would prefer she be in a one-dog household only because I can't confidently vouch for how she would react living with an unfamiliar dog." Chili's guardian states the following regarding cats: Chili lives with cats, so her guardian recommends her living with cats, stating "Chili loves our cats (can't say they love her back, but they do tolerate her). She sniffs and ignores them". Chili's guardian describes her as: Couch potato Barks alot Playful Friendly Likes to be touched Affectionate Always at your side Indoor dog House-Trained Crate-Trained Likes men Likes women Chili's guardian describes her ideal future home: "Chili would do great with a single person, couple or family as the only resident dog. She loves affection and interaction. She truly thrives being a part of her home and it's daily activities." Rehoming Fee: None Location: Middle River, MD ***** ADOPTION PROCESS 1.
