Fender was surrendered to KKPR because his parents had to go to assisted living. They had him since he was a puppy.
He misses his parents and only home he has ever known of 14 years. I have never watched a dog cry out of grief to the point where he has tears running down his cheeks until now! It was ABSOLUTELY HEARTBREAKING and we were all in tears last night! He is fully vetted and ready for his forever home.
11/13/24: Although he is new to KKPR, he was close to his father and immediately took to my husband. He loves car rides and walks. Even though he is 14 years old, he is spry and spunky. He was accustomed to going everywhere with his parents and misses them dearly. Fender thinks he is the alpha dog and doesn't get along with one of my male dogs. He gets along with the rest of them. He weighs about 12 lbs.
His ideal family would be someone who is home most of the time. He is struggling with separation anxieties, which is understandable under the circumstances. Although we feed him in a crate, as soon as he is done eating, he wants out Fender is learning how to use the doggie door to take care of his business. Although he didn't previously sleep with his parents, he does enjoy sleeping in bed with us. Because he is a more mature gentleman, he should go to a home with no children or older children. He has not yet been cat-tested yet. Although he is listed as a Boston Terrier, he was the runt and is the size of a Chihuahua. If you are interested in fostering or adopting Fender, please send me an email to kims35@aol.com and I will send you an application.I can also be reached at 916.397.4686 if you have any questions.

More about this rescue
Kimie's Kritters Pet Rescue was started because I, Kim Scherer, was retired as a California Peace Officer and wanted to do something in my retirement that I was passionate about and that is to help animals. I took an Animal Health class. During this course, I volunteered for various animal rescues and shelters. When networking for the shelters, I saw animals that languished whom I wanted to help, but I was unable to. I enlisted the help of other like-minded individuals for the Board and we started our own 501(c)(3), non-profit organization. Kimie's Kritters Pet Rescue pulls rescue-listed animals from shelters throughout the State of California and owner surrenders.
