My story

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

If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website www.wiseanimalrescue.org/adoption-application!

*PLEASE READ BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH AN ADOPTION APPLICATION*

Due to factors beyond our control, transport costs for our Puppy Mill survivors are much higher than what we have been accustomed to - costs for health certificates and medical + transport for each dog with no allowances for shared crates. With these factors taken into account, as well as the care needs for all of the animals in our adoption program, we need to request a donation above our normal request. Depending which dog you are applying for, we are looking for adopters to support our program with a donation in the range of $450- $850 from each adopter. $250 of that donation will be used toward the cost of transport. We appreciate the understanding of our potential adopters. Please keep this in mind prior to applying.

- ONE application per household. We will only consider your family for one of our available puppies so please apply for only one.

Name: Don Pedro

Breed: Yorkshire Terrier x Rat Terrier

Age: 3 months

Gender: male

Home Recommendation: Don Pedro would love a home that has the time to continue his training and socialization to make him the perfect pup we know he can become! He would thrive having another dog in the home to help show him the ropes.

Personality: Don Pedro's foster mom says he is loving and sweet. He loves playing with his sister, Oleander, and is a lot of fun!

Kids: 13+ due to his small size

Dogs: Yes! He loves to play with other dogs.

Cats: Unknown

Crate Trained: Working on it!

House Trained: Working on it! Currently, he is using wee wee pads perfectly!

Training: Don Pedro is very young and is working on puppy manners and basic obedience. He will need continued training to help him become the best dog he can be!

Why did he come to WISE? Puppy mills overbreed to the point where they produce more dogs than they can sell. Dogs like Simon were rejected for reasons ranging from birth defects, being born with the wrong color fur or eyes, or just simply because no one wanted to purchase them. When the dogs are not sold, the puppy mills destroy them, and it is legal to do so. WISE has recently partnered with a group to save these unwanted dogs - healthy, unhealthy, and/or with birth defects - who are destined to be killed for no reason.
