LEDI - CHIHUAHUA (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Chihuahua (short coat). Thank you for stopping by to see me! Please fill out an application to set up a private meeting. Ledi is a sweet, happy little Chihuahua who brings sunshine wherever she goes. She’s incredibly friendly and loves meeting new people — young, old, and everyone in between — greeting them with enthusiastic tail wags and plenty of kisses. Her joyful, affectionate personality makes her an instant favorite. Ledi is playful and a little goofy in the best way. She enjoys chewing on bones, playing with toys, and spending time with her best buddy, Chewy — her bonded companion who she absolutely adores. These two share a special connection and must be adopted together. Ledi loves being near her people and Chewy, but she’s not overly clingy — she’s just as happy to explore the yard, soak up the sunshine, and then come back for some cuddles. She’s a well-rounded girl who already knows commands like “come,” “outside,” and “go potty,” and she gets along beautifully with other dog-friendly dogs. She rides nicely in the car, has an easygoing, even temperament, and settles in comfortably wherever she goes. Ledi has completed treatment for heartworm and is now negative. She’ll simply need to stay on monthly preventatives for life to keep her healthy — an easy routine that will help her continue to thrive. Ledi is the perfect mix of playful, affectionate, and easygoing. If you’re looking for a loving pair to brighten your home, Ledi and Chewy are ready to bring double the joy, double the love, and a lifetime of companionship. Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home. ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there*** If you have other questions about me you can email Underdog Rescue at <inquiriesunderdogrescuemn> ADOPTION EVENTS: Adoption events are updated at the top of each dogs animals' as their foster home signs up. Check back for updates on which events they will be attending. If an event is not listed within their bio above, the animal is not planning to attend. Please understand that all of our pets are in volunteer foster homes and sometimes "life" happens and the foster family cannot make it to their scheduled adoption event. If you are traveling from a far distance to meet a specific animal, please understand we cannot guarantee event attendance. We recommend filling out an application and we will set up a private appointment. Private appointments are only scheduled after an application is submitted and approved. ADOPTION PROCEDURE: The first step in our process is to complete an online adoption application on our website: .underdogrescuemn/adoptionprocess/ Note: In most circumstances Underdog Rescue will only adopt within 60 miles of Minneapolis, MN. All of our foster animals can be seen by appointment with an approved adoption application. Contact us at .underdogrescuemn/contact-us/ if you have further questions. FOSTER CARE: All of our animals are fostered in individual homes or doggie daycare facilities. While they are in our care, they are part of our families and given lots of love. We work on training, crate-training and socialization prior to adoption, but each bio is written by the foster as they see them, in their home. Each animal's behavior is evaluated and we have a sense of its temperament and personality, but it cannot be guaranteed. We look for adopters who will give each animal the wonderful life and permanent home that he or she deserves in time and with patience. If you have an interest and ability to be a foster home, please visit our website .underdogrescuemn/foster-applications and fill out a foster application. NUTRITION: Nutrition is vital to the rehabilitation and life-long health of our pets. All of our foster animals are fed a premium diet such as NutriSource, Canidae, Orijen, Nature's Variety, Fromm, Pure Vita, Stella and Chewy's, Primal, or balanced raw diet. All adopters are required to continue providing premium diets for the life of the animal. YOU CAN HELP: Not able to foster or adopt right now? Please consider sponsoring an Underdog.
