History: We welcomed a group recently from a partnering organization of ours, Villalobos Animal Rescue.
A litter of 4 chihuahua/terrier mixes needed help specifically and arrived to rescue from this transport. They are under socialized and working hard on their trust and confidence in foster care. They seem to prefer women and men right now are scary so a patient and committed family will be important for each of them to work through this!
Packer is undergoing heartworm treatment and is available as a foster to adopt through her treatment and recovery.
A Note from the Foster: Packer (also called Penny) is a playful, energetic dog who loves people, other dogs, and even cats. She’s social, affectionate, and happiest when she’s included in whatever is going on around her.
She’s a smart girl who enjoys food puzzles and enrichment activities. Packer is crate trained and does well in her kennel, though she prefers to be out with her people. She’s currently working on potty training and continuing to build good habits with consistency and routine.
Packer is still young and learning appropriate boundaries, especially with older dogs, but she responds well to guidance. She enjoys toys, especially stuffed ones, and would do best in a home that can provide regular activity, playtime, and structure.
If you’re looking for a friendly, active companion who enjoys engagement and interaction, Packer could be a great fit.
Adoption Fee: $510 + tax
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!
