Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi. My name is Clayton. That hasn’t always been my name, but I think it is kind of cool. I am a little guy, under 7 lbs and around 12 years old. Everyone thinks I may be a Chorkie (chihuahua and yorkie mix) but for sure I am just a cutie patootie. Just the right size to curl up in your lap without making your legs go to sleep. I curl up like a little ball. This is my story. I was at a home with Hoomans who I don’t think really liked little doggies. I had a little girl with me too. I heard the other day she has already found her new home. We were in a little cage and our hoomans just went away and left us. We cried and cried but they did not come back. We were very scared and very hungry. Then another person came and found us and took us to a place called a shelter. We got to stay in a nice lady’s office. They cleaned us up and got rid of all the bugs that kept biting us. I think they were called fleas. I had chewed myself up because I was so itchy from them. We didn’t stay at the shelter very long. We got picked up and taken on a ride to a place with a nice big yard to run in and soft beds and good food. I really liked it there. I got a bath and the nice lady cut off all my icky hair and mats. I felt so much better. Then I took another ride and ended up at a doctor’s office. They took out all of those teeth which hurt so bad, and I only have 3 teeth now in my entire mouth. They also took some other parts off which is OK with me. I got shots and a microchip, Ouch! My left eye has a cataract but my right one is just fine, and I see really good out of it. Another nice lady picked me up, I met a lot of nice ladies, and told me her name was Mama Heidi. I really like her, but I wish she had more time to hold me. I tell her this all of the time, but she said she has to work and I guess I can understand that. But I have lots of friends there and a comfy bed and good food. And now I am ready to start looking for my forever home. I think I would like a home where I can have my mama or daddy home with me a lot. I would really like that. I am not picky about much but that is important to me. I want to be able to snuggle on a lap and hopefully get to sleep in the big bed curled up. My hair is still growing back in, but I will need to get my hair cut sometimes. I am still learning all about pottying outside but if you are patient with me, I will learn fast what your rules are. ***I do require a family who is retired or works from home so I have someone home with me a lot.*** My adoption fee is $250.
SOCKS adopts to families in Florida, Georgia, Southern Alabama, and southeastern Mississippi. If you are out of the state of Florida, you would need to travel to Florida to complete your adoption. Please note that we do check vet references and your current pets must be up to date on vaccinations and heartworm testing. Please be able to provide proof of purchase of heartworm prevention. All dogs and cats in your home must be spayed or neutered. We will not set up a meet and greet until your application has been received, reviewed, and approved. Adoptions are not done on a first come first served basis. We will accept applications and then screen all and choose the best match. Only approved applicants will be contacted. ************************************** To apply to adopt me, go to this website: https://www.saveourcockerspaniels.org/foster-adoption-application **************************************
