Fifi

Fifi - 4 years, 8lbs, Chi, Spayed<br/><br/>This dog is eligible to join our foster-to-adopt program. Please email fostertoadopt@socialteesnyc.org with the animal's name in the subject line if you are interested! Want to straight up adopt? Submit an adoption application at socialteesnyc.org<br/><br/>Their Foster Parent Says: "Fifi starts off shy and timid at first, but is filled with so much love, and once she is comfortable she is such a fun and sweet playful girl, she loves her lambchop toy and she will play and fetch with you. Her favorite place to be is cuddled up against you or on you. She will light up and her tail will go all wiggly when she sees you. Although she will play, she really loves to cuddle and sleep. She is cautious of the outdoors, but she is brave and wants to explore, she is getting more comfortable. She will be slightly cautious, but she does show interest in people and dogs walking by. When she's outside, she sometimes just needs guidance that everything is ok, or someone to hold her or kneel down and give her a place to feel safe in. She loves showing her belly for some good belly rubs. She is a very gentle and lovable girl."<br/><br/>Level of dog ownership experience required:<br/>BEGINNER – “Beginner” doesn't necessarily mean easy as all dogs will require time, work, and patience, but we predict this dog will be low on the challenge scale because of their breed/age combo. Potentially a good fit for someone who has relevant dog care experience (fostering, dog sitting) and is looking to adopt their first pup. <br/><br/>Energy level:<br/>LOWER – Pretty chill indoors and won't demand endless amounts of stimulation and exercise but still needs a few walks a day (10-30 min each) for potty breaks and to stretch their legs.<br/><br/>Okay in the city?<br/>We don't know yet because this pup is brand new to us. Most adult dogs do well in the city after they've had time to adjust to a new environment, but some never adapt and need homes in the burbs. <br/><br/>Potty trained?<br/>Probably! Adults usually are, but all will have transitional accidents for the first week or so. A consistent walking route and schedule plus finding spots with grass or dirt can help.<br/><br/>Social with other dogs?<br/>Yes, but we don't know to what degree yet. Some like to wrestle with every passing pup, others can coexist well but prefer to keep to themselves. We'll learn more soon.<br/><br/>Social with cats?<br/>Not sure yet! Some breed mixes that are generally NOT great matches for homes with cats include large hounds, huskies, and shepherds. <br/><br/>Comfortable with children? (ALWAYS requires adult supervision)<br/>We're not sure yet, but we try to err on the side of caution. Respectful kids ages 8 and up are probably a safe bet. Children must always be monitored and taught to interact with dogs of any age carefully. <br/><br/>Medical status:<br/>Healthy as far as we know. Up to date on their DHPP, Bordetella, and Rabies vaccines; heartworm tested if coming from Tennessee or Puerto Rico; spayed/neutered; microchipped; treated with dewormer upon intake<br/><br/>How did this dog end up with Social Tees?<br/>Most of our dogs come via partner groups who help us save them from shelters where they are at risk of euthanasia in Tennessee, Los Angeles, and Puerto Rico. There are very few spay/neuter resources there and many more animals in those areas than there are people to adopt them. Rescue groups like ours bring them to the northeast where the desire for pets like these allows us to save their lives. <br/><br/>PLEASE NOTE: We cannot guarantee any breed mix, exact age, or full grown size (if the dog is under a year old). We do our best with very educated guesses.<br/><br/>This animal is not at the Social Tees office, all are in foster homes.<br/><br/>LEARN MORE ABOUT US: socialteesnyc.org and Instagram @socialteesnyc
