**  REQUIRES FENCED YARD **  NEEDS A FEMALE COMPANION DOG HIS SIZE ** BREEDER DOG EXPERIENCE NEEDED **

Meet 'Pork', a 6 yr old, 10 lb, Chihuahua Mix .   He has a 'cloudy eye' but still sees okay.

Pork, came from a very bad situation, bitten by tons of fleas and ticks and lost all his hair.  Still missing a lot of hair.

Pork is still skittish but has learned a lot in foster home; he has recall to come back inside from fenced yard, and when you are sitting down in chair in kitchen, he will put his paws up on you and take treats from your hand. But he still will not let you pet him

Trust will take time and patience and we'd prefer someone who is home a lot to train him.

He's housebroken (sometimes lifts leg inside) He is not leash trained, so he requires a SECURE FENCED YARD.

He needs a female companion dog in the home to help him continue to thrive to be a great dog.

 

If you are interested, complete the  Adoption Application  on our website at  www.NeedyPaws.org  and we will contact you.  Adopters must live within an hour’s drive of St. Louis, MO.

Pork’s adoption fee is $295.00, which includes up-to-date vaccinations, heartworm testing and preventative, spay/neuter and microchip.

We are a 100% foster-based rescue and all of our dogs live in approved foster homes. We are dedicated to finding the best Forever Homes, and will perform home visits and conduct veterinarian and reference checks for each potential adopter.
