Skeeter

Description

Animal Information: Skeeter is an estimated 6 year 12 lb chihuahua who was a stray intake to Tulare County municipal animal shelter and at risk for euthanasia for length of stay. He's been housed with multiple other small dogs (all adopted) but is passed over because, well, he's a middle aged black chihuahua. There's nothing wrong with him, just a normal little dog, friendly with other dogs and people. His time is now! He's coming to rescue! We look forward to getting to know him in foster care.  Foster Profile: Skeeter is a friendly, charming little guy who quickly wins people over with his affectionate temperament and confident, easygoing manner. He walks politely on a leash, is reliably housebroken, and is quiet in the home, rarely barking. He ignores the resident cat and shows little interest in other dogs during walks. At home, he has formed a strong bond with my resident dog, following him everywhere and seeking close companionship. Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $575 which includes spay/neuter, core vaccinations Rabies and DPPV per AVMA standards, any indicated preventative care, heartworm test, microchip with lifetime registration, and recent health check with a veterinarian. Adoption fee may be tax deductible as Dog Gone Seattle is a 501c3 organization (ID 81-5101166).
