About Tobee

Chihuahua / Dachshund
Age: Adult
Sex: Male

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE BIO ON THIS DOG BEFORE REQUESTING AN APPLICATION. MANY OF OUR DOGS HAVE STRICT REQUIREMENTS FOR THEIR ADOPTION. 1. Tobee needs a house rather than a condo or townhome. 2. Older, respectful children only because of his age and arthritis. 8 year old male Chiweenie, about 12 pounds. Meet Tobee, a young senior at 8 years, who is full of energy and lives to play. He loves humans, other dogs, cuddling, and playing with his ball. This little guy takes the job of guarding the house seriously and will bark to alert you of activity outside. Tobee came into rescue after his beloved owner died. He was extremely shut down and withdrawn. His fosters have watched his personality bloom as he spends more time in their home. While he is a very healthy and active senior. Tobee does have a couple medical conditions an adopter needs to be aware of. Somehow he snapped a cruciate ligament and rarely uses his left rear leg. But it rarely slows him down. Additionally, Tobee is developing arthritis in his spine. Both are being managed by daily pain medication. Our vet is not leaning towards fixing the ligament, as a dog his age may not fair well with the complicated recovery and rehab. It has been injured for a very long time. Because of his alert barking, Tobee is not a good match for apartment living. He will need a family with older children who can respect his arthritis and not pick him up or roughhouse with him. He does have significant separation anxiety. Being a constant companion with his previous owner makes him worry about being alone and needs a family where someone is home most of the time. His foster has taken him to work and he was perfectly behaved in that setting and happy to greet new people and sit on their laps! So far he has not been observed with cats. Adoption contract and fee applies. All adoptable dogs can be met at adoption events hosted every weekend. For a list of scheduled events go to: https://www.facebook.com/SmidgetRescue/events . Smidget Rescue is not a shelter, and dogs cannot be seen at the Rescue location. All dogs are fostered throughout the Puget Sound area and are brought to the events where they can be met by prospective adopters. Additional pictures of adoptable dogs can be seen at: https://www.facebook.com/SmidgetRescue/photos_stream?tab=photos_albums. All adoptable dogs are spayed or neutered at 6 months of age or older, and always before being placed in their new homes. APPLICATIONS CAN BE OBTAINED BY EMAIL ONLY. Adoption process includes application, meet & greet, home visit and reference check. Email Jamie at [email protected] or click on the CONTACT link on this page. PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS BEFORE SENDING. We get a fair number of incorrect emails and Jamie is not able to contact potential adopters. Notice: We do not ship dogs out of state. If you live within a five-hour radius of Seattle, WA, (such as Portland, Vancouver B.C., etc.), we can arrange for a home visit. If your home seems like a great fit for the dog you would like to adopt, you must then drive to meet the dog at one of our weekend events or at the fosters home.
