Dewey

Description

Meet Dewey! “A tiny dog in search of a sweet family!” Dewey is a 5-year-old Chihuahua/Russian Toy Terrier mix with a gentle soul and a heart full of love, despite the difficult start he’s had. He came into the shelter severely underweight after not being properly fed, but this tiny boy has proven he’s a resilient little fighter. Since coming into foster care, Dewey has been on a carefully monitored feeding plan and is slowly making great progress toward a healthy weight. He’s been seen by our vet and has a medical plan in place to support his recovery every step of the way. With proper care, good nutrition, and lots of love, Dewey is truly blossoming. What makes Dewey so special isn’t just his resilience—it’s his incredibly sweet and affectionate nature. He absolutely LOVES to snuggle and will happily curl up in your lap any chance he gets. He’s crate-trained, house-trained, and gets along well with other dogs. Even more endearing, Dewey seeks out affection from every person he meets—he just wants to love and be loved. Dewey is up to date on vaccines, has been treated for heartworms, and is microchipped. His neuter is covered by Legacy Humane Society—we’re just giving him a few weeks to gain a bit more weight before his surgery. Dewey is looking for a patient, compassionate family who will continue helping him regain his strength while giving him the forever home, he’s always deserved. In return, he promises to be your most loyal little companion. If you think you might be the person to make that special connection and give Dewey the loving home he’s been waiting for, please complete an application at legacyhumanesociety.org, and his foster mom will be in touch.
