Shamus's Story

NOTE: Please read our entire write-up before contacting us. If you don't know the age, breed, weight, what vet care we provide our dogs, the adoption fee, or how to apply, you have not read the write-up.<br/><br/>Shamus<br/><br/>Breed: Chihuahua<br/>DOB: 1-4-2012<br/>Gender: Male, neutered<br/>Weight: 6 pounds<br/>Microchipped<br/>Adoption Fee: $250<br/><br/>Shamus came to us from an area shelter. He was a bit depressed and likely in a bit of pain when we got him. He had a dental and we saw some of the worst teeth we've seen in quite a while! We are grateful we could provide this much needed care!<br/><br/>Shamus is a little social butterfly! While he still tires easily, he LOVES attention and cuddles! He is also content snuggled in his bed by the fire! He rarely barks and when he does, it is likely because you neglected providing him proper attention!<br/><br/>Shamus is up for short walks and enjoys little adventures. He is still building his strength up. We suspect he may have come from a home where he did not get out much for walks. As his strength continues to improve, his walks can get longer. He can now also get up steps by himself!<br/><br/>This little guy would love to be your heart and soul! He would love to be doted on and treasured! He's a sweet old boy and deserves only the best for the rest of his life!<br/><br/>Good w/ Other Dogs- if they respect his space<br/>Good w/ Cats- yes<br/>Energy Level- low<br/>Children- over 10 years of age and gentle<br/>Grooming Needs- low<br/>Walks on Leash- yes<br/>Special Needs- no<br/>Knows basic commands- no<br/>Experienced Home- helpful<br/>Good First Time Dog- possibly, understanding needs of an aging dog<br/>Rides well in car- yes<br/>Crate Trained- yes<br/>Low Allergen- no<br/>Good apartment dog- possibly<br/>Fenced Yard- preferred<br/><br/>Adoptive homes within 1 hour of Raleigh, NC area only.<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting this pet, please copy and paste this link to our adoption survey into your browser: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSczh9StAiRY4XnFt79xI3aCGpyhMh0Kg5UzQo0a3CyVWhP9Fw/viewform?usp=sf_link<br/><br/>Meetings with our pets are currently made only with an approved adoption survey.<br/><br/>All HEART dogs have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated for rabies, bordatella, distemper, parvo, adenovirus, and hepatitis.
