About Dandy Lion

Adoption Fee: $140
Chihuahua / Pomeranian
Age: Puppy
Sex: Male

Meet Dandy! He's about 5 years old & about 15 pounds. He is a fear dog. Dandy would do best in a home where he can be an only dog. He is not aggressive with people--he'd rather avoid and hide than fight. I think he would be okay with older kids who understand boundaries and won't chase him. Toddler free home would be best, however. He has his quirks so he needs a very patient, dog savvy family with no other pets. He basically just needs to be allowed to exist with you and given ample time to get used to you. Dandy's Quirks: He doesn't bark a lot but he barks at odd things. If he starts to bark ignore him, trying to shush him will make it last longer. A calmer/quieter household than mine might cause less barking. His bark is loud. He doesn't like to be restrained/hugged or picked up. I've been working on this with him and have made some headway but he still does not like it. He will make the choice to come up and lay against me on the couch and recently started sleeping in the bed. Vet appointments: For vaccines he has to be wrapped in a thick blanket and held down, he alligator rolls and may soil himself. For more extensive vet checks he's had to be sedated. I would highly recommend continuing to use his vet, as she is very familiar with his behavior, does well with him, and is mobile so you don't have to take Dandy out of the home to go to the vet. (Echo Canyon Veterinary Services) Positives: He is housetrained, is not destructive and likes to go on walks when the weather is nice (although I'd hold off on walks until he's more comfortable with you). He likes to play with toys and sun bathe. Adoption fee of $50. I would like you to visit Dandy in my home and allow me to bring him to yours so he can at least get acquainted with you before he leaves here for good. I will send him home with toys, some of the food he's eating now so you can transition him to your favorite brand and his collar. I will also transfer his information with the county to you and pay the transfer fee. He is fixed, chipped and vaccinated (his Rabies is good until 11/27/22).
