Here's what the humans have to say about me:
****When responding please use our application at sparrowdogs.com, or tell us about yourself,(family, home, yard/fence, other pets, work hours..) Thanks!
You will never meet a sweeter little fella, and considering Doby is a Chihuahua, that says a lot!! For those of you familiar with Chihuahua's, you know they can be feisty little buggers, lol. Such is not the case with Doby, he would rather spend his day with his favorite person, snuggling on the couch is a true luxury. His best buddy in his foster home is the husband(he thinks he is a king, go figure). With football season coming, who doesn't need a little pal to cheer on the BEARS(Ok...or your favorite team...) and he is great about sharing some snacks and does not mind the crumb patrol at all.
Doby had a family for a number of months, but as their baby became a toddler they realized that Doby was not a fan of small children. Doby is actually one cool cucumber of a guy, he would rather chill with his peers(as in adults), hanging out on the couch, sharing some munchies, and even tolerates those car repair shows, and gasp...golf!! You can see from his profile pic(not the sharkchi, lol) he knows he is one cool dude, and of course will make an excellent side kick for some lucky person.
Doby is looking for an extra special home, one that will love him and accept him just the way he is. We have no idea why he has a pattern of hair loss on his body. Perhaps it was due to a previous injury? We just do not know, but he has some tufts of longer hair, then smooth skin area's. Ironically, his back looks just like Hulk Hogan's mustache, now how about that, one in a million I say. Doby also has a significant heart murmur. He is still a spunky guy and is not on any meds or will not require treatment. He will just live out his life with his condition and hopefully live it to the fullest with the right family.
If you are looking for that extra special little guy to love and adore, someone that will return the favor and make you the hero in his world, then Doby is your guy. He is just adorable, irresistible and his sweet little face will just melt your heart!! We are looking for that very special person/family. Doby is 8 years old and about 7 pounds. His adoption fee is $125. Please email Kristine at joysparrows@gmail.com. (BTW--he is yawning in the Shark picture, not growling,lol)
