About Mugsy - Ad. Pending

Boston Terrier / Chihuahua
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male

Mugsy was in a house with 48 dog and lots of cats before coming to us. It took quite a bit for him to even crave human touch and then - he was adopted by a well-intentioned family but that very day got loose from them and was on the run for about six weeks. Found nearly starved and on his last leg, he came back to us quite the changed boy. He actually craves human touch and is back to his healthy self! This beautiful boy now enjoys toys, the dog park, human attention, and even likes to lie right next to his foster mama. He enjoys sleeping in a crate, is good on leash, and is just an all-around great guy. Mugsy would prefer a home where any children are old enough to be very respectful and allow him time to adjust as he's still learning what it means to actually have humans want to interact with him. He would also do well in a home with another dog to show him the ropes. If you would like to meet this beautiful boy please read on or go directly to the adoption process page of our website - throwmeabonedogrescue.org. All potential adopters are expected to complete an application and provide pictures of their yard, patio, and/or balcony making sure we can see the fence line and/or railing. The application can be completed and submitted from our website - throwmeabonedogrescue.org - the link is found of the Adoption Process page. Applications will be reviewed for approval before setting an appointment to come meet and possibly adopt the dog of interest. In addition, those who live in a rental property are expected to provide proof that they are allowed to have a dog where they live. Each of our rescued dogs has been de-wormed if necessary, de-flea'd (with topical treatment if old enough, and by medicated bath if too young), spayed/neutered, microchipped, is up to date on shots, and has been fully examined by a veterinarian. In addition, each adopted dog comes with a starter baggie of the food it has been eating, a few treats for training purposes, a rawhide chew, a lead and collar, and a folder containing pertinent records.
