TINKER BELLE - CHIHUAHUA (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Chihuahua (short coat). Tinker Belle is the best little girl. She is about a year old and 9 lbs and only has about 25% use of her hind legs - probably born this way. But she hops around like a bunny and does great. But, to add insult to injury, someone broke her front left leg when she was very young, so she has a backwards bend in it, rather than a straight leg (as you can see in photos). It has healed and seems fine, but clearly does not help her over all condition much, with the condition of her back legs. Yet, this girl is SO happy and affectionate and silly, and as bouncy as she can be, with her bone structure. Not a mean bone in her and she gets around pretty good, considering. Tinker loves other dogs and cats, and needs a calm home where she can go outside to potty and hang a bit (she is perfectly housebroken), then hang out on a dog bed or a lap a lot. She loves being held, but walking a bit throughout the days, does her body good. And she is young and has young, playful energy. We have a video, but cannot seem to get it to load. Vets say she is healthy and truly one of the sweetest dogs they have met, but nothing can be done for her current condition. Again, she gets around fine, just has minimal use of the back legs. Please open your hearts and home to this great little lap dog - you will be so glad you did - she will bring you such joy. LOVABLE MUTTS ADOPTION CENTER (Pregnant Dog Rescue) is a private, in home, all breed rescue facility. We exist only on the kindness of your donations and adoptions! We pride ourselves on being an HOLISTIC center and feed only holistic foods and various vitamins and supplements to all of our dogs. LOVABLE MUTTS ADOPTION CENTER dogs are well socialized, very friendly, and in wonderful health. We stand by our pups/dogs, and give 10 days for a refund and almost always take our dogs back at any age of their lives (often depends on dog)! LMAC has an application screening process. All applicants are asked to provide vet references, personal references, and a home visit. We pride ourselves in matching up the right dog with the right home. Sometimes this happens quickly and sometimes it might take awhile. We hope you understand and are willing to wait for the perfect pup for your situation. We reserve the right to turn applicants down and to change our mind about a suitable match, for we are only concerned about what is best for our dogs. Also note that we arrange our visiting hours around your schedule, as this is a private, in home facility. We respond to all inquiries promptly, so if you have any trouble sending us an email, or have not heard back from us within 24 hours, please, CONTACT US AGAIN and check your spam! (We all know how emails can be at times!) Our dogs are spayed or neutered (if old enough), up to date on vaccines, wormed, heartworm tested, and free of fleas and ticks. We temperament test our dogs and they are all suitable for many family situations. Our dogs are well mannered, know some basic commands, and are usually housebroken within a week of being with us (if old enough). They are in our family/home situation at this time (not in kennels or crates, although most are crate trained) and are worked with daily. All of our dogs do well with other dogs and many do well with cats. Adoption donations vary with age, breed, vetting, and training of the dog, and range from $250 to $695 (most being $595). (We do not tend to place puppies or small dogs with kids under 6 and reserve the right to match who WE feel would be the best homes for our dogs.)
