Matilda/Keri's Story

What’s your name? <br/>Keri<br/><br/>How old are you? <br/>2 years old<br/><br/>Where are you located? <br/>Houston, TX<br/><br/>How much do you weigh?<br/>10 pounds<br/><br/>What’s your adoption fee?<br/>$350<br/>I'm a Chinese Crested/ Chihuahua <br/><br/>What is your favorite thing to do? <br/>ZOOMIES and I'm super fast! Foster mom says I'd be great at agility once I gain more confidence. I also love sunbathing. I stretch my long body out in the grass and take a little nap.<br/>**Matilda MUST HAVE a fenced in yard in her new home. She needs room for daily zoomies.<br/><br/>What is your favorite food or treat? <br/>I really like cheese and freeze dried beef liver but I'll eat just about anything. I'm not very picky. <br/><br/>Where do you like to sleep? <br/>I usually sleep in a dog bed on the floor but recently I've gotten brave enough to join my foster mom and foster siblings on the big bed. I enjoy it because my foster mom gives me extra loving before we go to sleep!<br/><br/>What is your ideal home? <br/>I would probably do best in an all adult home. I would love if my human is home often. It takes me awhile to warm up to new people so I need an understanding home. This whole family thing is new to me. I've never been a part of one before. I haven't met any kids yet but I can tell you that it would take awhile for me to warm up to little humans. I really need another dog in the home so that I can continue learning how to be a dog. I look to my foster siblings for guidance. They're helping me gain confidence too.<br/><br/>Do you have any health issues? <br/>Not that I know of<br/><br/>Do you have any personality quirks?<br/>Well, I hate to admit this but I steal clothes and shoes. I don't chew them. I just like that they smell like my foster mom so I steal them and take them to my bed to lay with. <br/><br/>Do you get along with other dogs, cats, or kids?<br/>Dogs, yes. Kids and cats, I don't know about that. I think I would be okay with cats but it would definitely take some time for me to warm up to kids.<br/><br/>Do you like car rides? <br/>Yes and no. I ride fine but it's not my favorite thing to do. I just haven't had a lot of experience riding in cars. I think I can learn to like it.<br/><br/>How are your potty manners?<br/>Pretty good! I go outside most of the time but will occasionally potty inside if I can't hold it. <br/><br/>Any additional info you’d like to share?<br/>I had a pretty rough life before coming to this rescue. I wish I could tell you about it. I didn't know what love and affection were but now that I know, I can't get enough! I've learned to love my foster mom and being a part of a family. I hope to have a permanent family soon!<br/> <br/><br/>If you're interested in adopting, complete an application online, http://chinesecrestedrescue.org/application-adopt-volunteer/<br/><br/>To contact us, please send an email to info@chinesecrestedrescue.org<br/>PetFinder inquiries may not be answered, email is preferred.
