Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Chalupa was at Memphis Animal Shelter and Director Lisa spied her lovely red ticked coat from across the crowded room....LOL....for sure, Director Lisa loves a heeler and this chubby baby was too cute to resist.
Chalupa is mixed with something larger and we suspect lab due to the webbing between her toes. She is a relatively calm, deliberate puppy, who enjoyed her picture taking session. She weighs around 20 lbs so far and is approximately 3 months old.
She plays well with other dogs in her foster home and is working on learning how to use a doggie door. She also is very happy and quiet just to have a good chew toy. Chalupa has had one set of three required puppy vaccines. . She has been spayed and microchipped. She is on heartworm preventive and flea preventive. She has also been dewormed, which is standard protocol for babies.
Chalupa's adoption fee is $150. Her best home will be one with flexible hours so she can learn all her potty training skills. Another dog would be great and children as well. A fenced yard is a must and prior excellent vet history for current or previous pets is a must.
The ideal home for this Real Good Dog will have a secure fenced yard. A solid history of excellent vet care for current or previous pets is required. Preference will be given to applicants who have specific breed experience.
Please visit www.realgoodrescue.com to submit an electronic application if you are interested in adopting this or any other Real Good Dog.
We adopt dogs from Memphis Animal Shelter when we can. The shelter has an 83% euthanasia rate, one of the highest in the country. Unfortunately, any dog coming from Memphis Animal Shelter, and most other shelters for that matter, will have been in contact with contagious illness. Even though the dogs have been in foster care and appear to be in good health, they may become stressed when changing environments and exhibit signs and symptoms of illness. If you have other pets, they need to be up to date on vaccines before bringing a shelter dog into your home. We will take the adopted animal back, but we are not responsible for your other animal's vet care. We always disclose where the dogs have come from. Please ask for any information about the dogs and exercise due caution if you have immunocompromised animals.
