CRUISER - CHIHUAHUA / RAT TERRIER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: Chihuahua / Rat Terrier / Mixed. Cruiser is 2 years old and 14 lbs. He came in August with a broken hip and a fractured right rear leg - he was found in the street after being hit by a car. For the hip, he had an FHO surgery and a metal plate in his leg. Very simple exercises help - we can show you in a minute...basically stretching the injured leg which encourages him to put weight on. He is skittish of people, but time in a foster home helped. He started learning house training, crate training, and leash walking. He was fine with the cats and the farm animals - horses, chickens, goats, and sheep. He is most comfortable with people when other dogs are there- especially small or medium dogs that can read body cues. He will need patience from his new owner to slowly build trust. But he is a good boy. We're not sure of his mix - he has beagle coloring, but is smaller than a beagle; ears a bit shorter. *Note that young dogs and pure breeds are at the highest end of our prices.* Please find our applications and valuable information under "Adopt a dog"* on our website: *.beaglesandbuddies* and email your application to beaglesandbuddiesgmail. Let us know your preference of appointment day/time and which dogs you are interested in and we will do our best to accommodate and email you the closest appointment available. Please allow us up to a week to get back to you.

We know the value and comfort of a loving pet companion and are doing our best to help the dogs and folks who need them. We update our website daily and are always rescuing, vetting, rehabilitating, socializing. ​ Are you my furrever family? For further info on the adoption process, please visit our home page and check out the "Adopt a Dog" section, which has thorough instructions. All our dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and fully vaccinated before adoption; they have been wormed, bathed, socialized, walked daily and much loved; each adoptee leaves with a leash, collar, and all medical records. Our prices are higher than the shelters' because we nurse the dogs through their illnesses and get them needed surgeries and dentals. We also spend time socializing. Furthermore, unlike shelters, rescues do not get financial aid from the government and must rely on donations, grants, and adoption fees. Our fees for adults start at $150 and usually go up to $750. Young adults that are high in demand may be a little over $750.00. For puppies and purebreds, we charge up to $1000. The lower end is for dogs who have been here a while. The good news is that, because rescues fall under the "charity" category, the fees for our dogs are officially donations and are therefore tax deductible. You can think of it as donating to a worthy cause and getting a dog in return! Sponsor Me Beagles & Buddies must find ways to raise money so we can continue saving dogs. Your tax-deductible donation keeps our rescue kennel operating! Hours Friday: 10 am to 3 pm Saturday: 10 am to 3 pm Sunday: 10 am to 3 pm Monday: CLOSED Tuesday: CLOSED Wednesday: CLOSED Thursday: CLOSED ​ Weekday appointments may be available. We are a small staff and do our best to accommodate your needs. **Note that during COVID, we are not holding open houses on any day.
