Slim in IN Japanese Chin Patriot, IN

Age:  8 years old
Sex: male
Size: 11 pounds


Adoption fee: $250
Contact Email: clancy20@yahoo.com


Health: Slim is in good health. He has been neutered, is HW- and on preventative, he's UTD on vaccinations and has had a complete dental cleaning resulting in numerous teeth being removed. He has only 5 teeth so he needs a soft food diet.


My Story: Slim came into rescue from a shelter that told us he was surrendered by his owner however, we think the owner was a puppy mill or backyard breeder because Slim has a tendency to walk in circles and pace which indicate he may have spent a lot of time in a cage or pen of some kind. He does not know what doggie treats are and doesn't take food from your hand.  He is a very sweet and gentle guy and he is learning a lot of new things in his new life as a pet. The most surprising thing we have discovered about Slim is that he loves to play with toys. He will need a patient and understanding forever friend who will allow him time to adjust to his new role and gently teach him things like house training and how to walk on a leash. Are you Slim's new best friend?


My Ideal Home: Slim would love to have a fenced yard and another small friendly dog to play with, and to learn from.  Slim has not been cat tested yet.
