My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Fennec is a Chihuahua/terrier mix and is estimated to be 8+ years old. When Fennec was found he was covered with fleas and with skin issues, which is due to him being allergic to fleas. His fur has grown out since then and recently has had another allergic reaction and was determined that he is highly allergic to fleabites; one bite can cause him to have a reaction. Fennec seems to have an alpha dog mentality!

Fennec profile

Kids: He is being fostered in a home with four children ages ranged between 10-17 years old.

Other pets:
Dogs: He has 3 other foster fur siblings 2 males (chi-tzu and a pit-bull) and a female (chi-tzu)
Cats: Foster mom took him to the vet and he walked pass a couple of cats in the waiting room and walked and sniffed them with little to no reaction.

House trained:
When there is someone home he is free to roam through out the house however, due to him showing a little reaction to other dogs in the home on certain occasions he has to be kenneled to keep himself and other animals in the home from getting into trouble. Fennec is also kennel trained and will just go in when telling him to and has never had accidents while being kenneled.

Food reactive:
He doesn’t show food aggression while feeding him, moving, or adding food to his bowl however, he does react to other dogs when he feels they are getting to close to his food bowl and therefore is fed in a spate room ad will wait to be let out to potty.

Adapting to Environment
Fennec is a fast learner on the first day he easily picked up where his bed and kennel were and where to o when it was potty time. He loves being loved on and will snuggle next to you but will give your space when he knows your not interested playing or hanging out.

I believe fennec will be in a good home with older children. Fennec foster mom baby sits and observed that he is gentle and kind and does not show any aggression toward kids however when he is roughly handled he doesn’t tolerate it to well and will growl to show that he is unconvertible and possible could snap.
DO NOT APPLY IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A FENCED YARD, A VET REFERENCE, HAVE SMALL CHILDREN AND DO NOT LIVE IN THE JACKSONVILLE AREA.
