A Note from the Foster: Hi there, I'm Bengal! I'm looking for a forever family so let me tell you a little bit about myself:
-I'm a chihuahua/terrier mix (best guess) and my foster mom says I have the best traits of both: goofy, playful, loyal, loving, just to name a few!
-I'm about 8 months old so I still have some puppy energy but once I get my wiggles out I can settle down just fine.
-I willingly go into my crate for a treat and I am quiet when I'm in there. It helps if a have a bone to chew on!
-I have gotten along well with the other dogs I have met so far, all larger than me. I like to play once I get to know them.
-I have not had any accidents in my crate or in the house and am a pro at doing my business outside, even in the snow.
-My favorite hobbies include exploring, playing with toys, and snuggling with my humans.
-I am heartworm positive and start treatment soon. The good news is that it has not advanced too much and it was caught soon enough to treat! I take medicine every day which I always eat right away in a pill pocket because those things are so yummy! Because of the heartworm treatment, I will need a foster-to-adopt family that can care for me through the process with the Coco's Heart vet clinic.
Are you interested in meeting me? I'd love to join your family! Head over to the CHDR website for more information about how to adopt me!

Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
