Chick Shih Tzu & Bichon Frise Mix Decatur, IL

VISIT LEIASHOPE.ORG FOR OUR ADOPTION PROCESS.

Requirements:
Young playful dog/kids
Vetting requirements (see our website)

Chick is a young Teddybear (shihtzu/bichon) puppy. She was cosigned to a breeder auction and his freedom was secured by Leia's Hope.

Chick is a fun gal that likes to have a good time! She is smart and spunky, but once she settles down she is all about the cuddles! She loves to play with other dogs and someone to play with will be ideal for her. If not another dog then children. The mixture of this breed gives you a pup with a happy disposition and a loving and loyal nature.

Chick's adoption fee is $415. She is vaccinated, microchipped, and on flea and heart worm prevention. Chick is too young to receive her spay (we wait until 6 months). A spay contract will be enforced. The spay is covered by Leia's Hope if using our vet partner. Visit leiashope.org for our process and the application to adopt!

WE DO ADOPT OUT OF THE AREA, HOWEVER, WE DO NOT SHIP NOR ARRANGE TRANSPORTS. YOU WILL HAVE TO COME TO DECATUR, IL TO MEET THE DOG. IF FLYING, DOGS MUST FLY IN THE CABIN AND THE EXPENSE OF THE HEALTH CERTIFICATE IS ON THE ADOPTER.

THE APPLICATION MUST BE COMPLETED AND SUBMITTED BEFORE WE CAN START THE PROCESS.

IT CAN TAKE AT LEAST 7 DAYS TO PROCESS AN APPLICATION SOMETIMES LONGER DEPENDING ON VOLUNTEER AVAILABILITY AND NUMBER OF APPLICATIONS RECEIVED SO PLEASE BE PATIENT AS WE ARE VOLUNTEERS WITH FAMILIES AND FULL TIME JOBS AND DOGS OF OUR OWN TO CARE FOR.

IF INTERESTED IN A PUPPY (UNDER 9 MONTHS): YOU MUST HAVE A FLEXIBLE WORK SCHEDULE OR SOMEONE HOME ALL DAY. PUPPIES NEED TO BE LET OUT TO POTTY OFTEN, THEY NEED SOCIALIZATION AND BONDING AND NEED TRAINING (HOUSETRAINING AND BEHAVIORAL TRAINING). IF YOU WORK LONG HOURS, HAVE A BUSY SOCIAL SCHEDULE OR NOT FINANCIALLY SECURE THEN A PUPPY IS NOT FOR YOU. PUPPIES ARE A 15 YEAR COMMITTMENT, IF YOU CAN'T COMMIT TO THAT TIME FRAME THEN CONSIDER AN OLDER DOG.
