PLEASE NOTE: All of the pets at Safe Haven receive basic training when they come to us. Adopters will be given a list of words that your new pet knows at the time of adoption. What each pet learns depends on how much time I have had to work with them, & if that pet has any additional issues that need to be focused on first. If you are interested in adopting this pet, please fill out an application http://www.adoptapet.com/Safe-Haven/adoption-application/ After we receive your application, we will contact you. ADOPTING A CAT OR DOG IS UP TO A 20 YEAR COMMITMENT! THEY ARE NOT OBJECTS THAT YOU CAN GET RID OF WHEN THEY BECOME INCONVENIENT. THEY ARE INNOCENT LIVING, BREATHING ANIMALS WITH FEELINGS THAT DEPEND ON YOU TO TAKE CARE OF THEM. IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO TAKE CARE OF, LOVE, & PAY FOR EVERYTHING THIS PET NEEDS FOR UP TO 20 YEARS, THEN PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR AN APPLICATION. * Safe Haven STRONGLY believes that collars should only be used to hold their ID or as decoration. A dog can slip out of collar. Which becomes a problem if you are trying to restrain your dog, & it comes off. Also, attaching a leash to a collar puts pressure on the neck, which is one of the most delicate areas of the body, & could hurt them. For these reasons, Safe Haven includes a harness with every dog adoption to ensure the safety of the dog. A harness distributes the weight on the chest & shoulders. It also has a handle on the back that you can grab if need be, without hurting your pet (EX: Dog falls off your boat, just grab the handle & pull your pet back in with no harm done. With a collar, you would have to strangle your dog when pulling your dog in). Also a dog cannot slip out of a harness if it is fitted correctly, so it is much easier to restrain them. ***** FROM THE SHELTER: 4Y Neutered, Tan / Black, Chihuahua Sh/Mix WAIT RESQ I came to the shelter as an owner surrender. Surrender reason: LANDLORD MEDICAL: Appears healthy at this time. BEHAVIOR EVALUATION: Louie was surrendered to us from a family home with men, women, children, elderly and another dog. He was an inside/outside dog and had no reported issues. On the first day, Louie was very fearful and was unable to be handled or vaccinated. The following day we were able to walk him out of his kennel, but he was still very fearful. He was difficult to vaccinate, but did allow some petting from behind. With more time, Louie seems to be able to warm up. We are reaching out to rescue as it appears he is having trouble in the shelter environment and needs more personal human interaction. He does have a history of being friendly in a home environment with another dog, children and elderly. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Weight: 10.34 Lbs ***** FAQ: Q: Is this pet still available?
