Chong - Chihuahua Male Dog For Adoption in Emmett, Idaho, USA

Dog Breed: Chihuahua (short coat).

Meet Chong! The vet estimates Chong is about three years old. He came to us as an owner-surrender because his previous family had too many Chihuahuas. While he was initially shy when he arrived a couple of months ago, our volunteers have worked with him daily and he has made incredible progress. He is still shy with new people at first, but he warms up once he trusts you mean him no harm. Chong will need a family that is patient with him as he gets more comfortable with them. Chong recently returned to the shelter after spending a couple of weeks with a foster family while recovering from his neuter surgery. Here is what his foster mom shared about him: "Chong loves to cuddle and nuzzle up to me while sitting on the couch watching a movie. He would love to sleep on the bed next to you. He's pretty much a couch potato unless he's following me around while I'm doing chores. Every now and again he likes to grab a soft small toy and run around the yard—but definitely not the ones that squeak, because the noise scares him. Because I was watchful of him and paid attention to his queues, he only had one accident inside the house on his first day in my home. After that he never had an accident in the house." Chong does well with other dogs and does not mind the office cat. Please note that Chong is sensitive to cigarette smoke and gets terrified around people who smoke. To ensure his well-being, we require a strictly smoke-free home for his adoption. Chong has come a long way and will be ready for his new forever home soon! If you are interested in learning more or setting up a time to meet him, please let us know. All dogs are vaccinated, microchipped and spayed or neutered (if they are old enough) before they leave the shelter. If the dog is not old enough, you will be given a voucher for Animal Medical Center in Emmett to cover the cost of the spay or neuter and a one year rabies vaccine. Please fill out an application if you are interested in this dog or call us today for more information. Because we are an all-volunteer organization, please call ahead to schedule a time for a Meet & Greet so we can ensure a dog handler is available to show you the dog or dogs you are interested in.
