Mu Feist & Chihuahua Mix Lenoir, NC

Mu brought her litter of puppies to a rescuer before their eyes were open. She and her puppies (Greek Letter litter) were in rough shape. Their coats were scabby and their skin was dry. The rescuer kept them fed and warm until they could be moved to a foster home. As soon as they'd begun to thrive, they saw the vet for his recommendation on improving their condition. Top on the list was a nutritious diet and now they're all ready for their forever families.

With a guesstimated birthday in April 2021, Mu weighs about 22 lb.

Mu is very affectionate and a lap dog. She is unsure around strangers until she knows they are friendly - preferably ignoring her until she can sniff them.

As one of her foster's few dogs allowed free reign in the living room, Mu is house-trained when kept on a regular schedule. She loves her 4-sided dog bed and the recliner with her foster dad.

Mu gets along with polite dogs and ignores the cats in her foster home. She is food motivated and is happy to learn in exchange for a treat.

Car riding is a favorite, because she gets to be with her foster mom. She prefers to sit on laps, but is learning that this isn't allowed. She will sit patienlty in the passenger seat when clipped in.

Mu is comfy in a 36" crate. She doesn't need one at her foster home. She is leash savvy but will occasionally pull to get to interesting smells.

**********

Whether dogs / puppies come in as strays or owner surrenders, we usually have to make our best guess as to birthdate and breed.

If adopted into a home with other animals, particularly cats, your new pet should be crated or secured when you're not available to supervise to insure a harmonious relationship.

A vet reference is required to confirm responsible pet ownership. Requirement is a minimum three year vet history documenting current / previous pets are spayed / neutered, kept up to date on core vaccinations, and on heartworm prevention. We suggest first time pet owners without a vet history look for an adult dog for companionship and to gain experience. Other rescues or your local government-run animal control agency may have different adoption requirements.

Adoption fee covers two vaccinations. Additional fees for 3rd puppy vaccination, refundable spay/neuter deposit, etc. may apply.

We are an all-volunteer, foster-based rescue. We receive no funding from agencies.

Not all foster dogs are available for viewing during public events, held most Saturdays at Tractor Supply (360 Blowing Rock Blvd) in Lenoir, NC from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. We recommend interested parties contact us to pre-qualify for adoption so their new furry family can go home once paperwork is complete. Fees are required in cash. For more information on our organization, our website is www.petpartnersrescue.org.
