TREASURE - CHIHUAHUA DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Chihuahua. LOOKING FOR A GREAT HOSPICE HOME: Approx. 15 years old / Approx. 5 lbs. & needs to gain weight Hi, my name is Treasure! Mostly Mutts gave me that name so I’d always know I’m special and loved. I was said to have been found in a dumpster, but thankfully I made my way to Mostly Mutts, where my journey to safety began. I’m an older little guy who isn’t in the best shape, but I’m darling and so deserving of a wonderful “Hospice” home to cherish me. I needed quite a bit of care when I arrived, including bloodwork, which I received thanks to a generous grant from The Grey Muzzle Organization. I’m now in a wonderful foster home while I wait for the angel who will adopt me. I don’t see very well, so I’ll need a family who can help keep me safe as I navigate my golden days. • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I simply ignore the dogs in my foster home but don’t mind if they sniff me, so if you have a dog that will be gentle with me and not want to play, let’s meet. / Cats unknown. / I’ve met the grandkids in my foster home and did well with them, but parents need to be involved to keep me safe due to my tiny size. So, let’s meet and best no very young kids that may fall on me. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I’m a sweet little guy who loves nothing more than being carried around or curling up in a warm, cozy blanket - especially the heated kind. All I really want is a soft place to land where I can feel safe and loved for the rest of my life. That could be months or years… who knows? No one expected me to come this far based on the shape I was in when I arrived but look at me now - I’m doing so much better! I’m supposed to eat k/d food for my kidneys, but I don’t really like it. My foster keeps trying, but at this stage of my life, everyone just wants me to be happy. I think I was fed table scraps previously because I love hanging out in the kitchen when my foster is cooking—so cute, right? Every now and then she makes me scrambled eggs, and I think that’s the best treat ever. I enjoy wandering around the yard when the weather is nice, but if it’s cold, I do my business and head right back inside. Please stay with me when we’re outside, as I’m so small the birds of prey could take an interest in me. / Energy level: 1-2 as I do like to sleep a lot. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I’m not concerned about learning any commands, so we can just skip those. / I stay in a play pen when my foster is away and at nighttime and I’ve been quiet in it and will use the pee pads in there. / Due to my kidney failure, I go potty every couple hours on some days and other days I will go longer so I have pee pads available when my foster can’t take me out in time. I do have accidents but if you take me out, I will go outside. • LIKES/DISLIKES: I like being carried around, going for car rides, and snuggling up with my electric blanket since I get chilly easily. / I’m not a great eater and can be pretty picky. I’ll like one food for a little while then I’ll stop eating it, so it’s a juggling game to keep me eating well. It’s not great for me but I do like puppy kibble. I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love and good care. • MEDICAL: I'm current on annual vaccinations, neutered and micro-chipped. My teeth aren’t in good shape, but I cannot go under anesthesia due to the risk, so I’m on Pulse Therapy of CLINDAMYCIN a week of each month, so just ask about that. I am in kidney failure and don’t love the special kidney food but sometimes I’ll eat it, and my vision is limited. I’m looking for a wonderful Hospice family to love me and take great care of me. My adoption fee is $100.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
