McKnight - WV Pups Chihuahua Mix Richmond, VA

ADOPT ME ONLINE: https://ophrescue.org/dogs/13350

Hi! My name is McKnight and I recently arrived at OPH in search of a family of my own. Im a male guessed to be born on 9/8/23 and currently weigh about 15 lbs. I'm listed by the shelter vet as a mixed breed dog but foster mom says I look like I might be part Chihuahua. I have a brindle face and legs and am very friendly and love to give lots and lots of kisses. I am a pretty energetic guy so far and would enjoy walks and play time with my new family.

I'm fostered in the Shenandoah Valley area but foster mom is willing to meet an adopter partway to help me find my new home. I'm microchipped, neuthered and up to date on my vaccinations and preventatives. I'll be ready to be adopted as early as January 21, 2024. Apply to meet me now - you'll be glad you did!

I'm searching for...
* someone who won't leave me home alone for more than 4 hrs, at least not until I am older. The older I am the more I can stay home alone. I just don't want you to get mad at me if I have accidents or chew things I'm not supposed to when you leave me for too long. I'm a puppy, so I get bored quick and when I'm bored I could get in trouble.
* I am looking for my forever home, not my for right now home. So as I get bigger I need someone to teach me how to be the best dog I can be. I am young and still learning. You may want to teach me some new tricks like sit, stay, etc. Professional training will help me bond with you. That sounds like fun!
* I saved the most important for last. I am hoping my new mom or dad will snuggle with me, play with me and love me forever and ever!

Operation Paws for Homes, Inc. (OPH) rescues dogs and cats of all breeds and ages from high-kill shelters in NC, VA, MD, and SC, reducing the numbers being euthanized. With limited resources, the shelters are forced to put down 50-90% of the animals that come in the front door. OPH provides pet adoption services to families located in VA, DC, MD, PA and neighboring states. OPH is a 501(c)(3) organization and is 100% donor funded. OPH does not operate a shelter or have a physical location. We rely on foster families who open their homes to give love and attention to each pet before finding a forever home.All adult dogs, cats, and kittens are altered prior to adoption. Puppies too young to be altered at the time of adoption must be brought to our partner vet in Ashland, VA for spay or neuter paid for by Operation Paws for Homes by 6 months of age. Adopters may choose to have the procedure done at their own vet before 6 months of age and be reimbursed the amount that the rescue would pay our partner vet in Ashland.
