My story

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

Angel is a female gray with white Chihuahua. She is 8 years old and she weighs 13 (a little chunky) pounds. Angel is spayed and vaccinated including rabies. Angel is heartworm negative and on monthly heartworm preventive. Angel is ready for adoption. (NOTE: Angel’s white hair is normal hair, her gray areas are skin with wispy patchy pair, leading us to think she might have Chinese crested mixed in.)

Angel is special to us. She originally came to us 5 years ago with another dog from the same home when their owner couldn’t live on her own anymore. She was not socialized and wanted to hide. Angel was eventually settled into a foster home with a senior citizen with a couple of other dogs, a doggie door, and a couch she commandeered as her own personal bed. Angel liked to be on her own a lot, but socialized a bit with the people she encountered regularly. She barked at whomever she didn’t know. Angel tolerates other dogs but doesn’t buddy up or cuddle. Eventually Angel’s foster mom adopted her, so Angel got to keep her couch. She did great with the doggie door and caused no problems in her home. She would show little signs of affection to her mom. Unfortunately this summer Angel’s mom passed away. Angel had to come back to the main rescue location and she was injured (long story we will be glad to share with applicants). With a lot of special handling while she was recovering, Angel has finally shown us her softer, more affectionate side. We know her quirks, but in general Angel is no trouble to live with, she is potty trained, and she requires time to develop trust and love with a new person.

More about this rescue

Jeff Tarpley Rescue is a full-time volunteer rescue effort dedicated to helping dogs. All dogs for adoption are rescued from shelters or owner surrenders. Puppies under 4 months old are vaccinated and dewormed several times, with a spay/neuter contract required for adoption. The vetting of an adult dog includes spay/neuter, vaccinations including rabies, and heartworm testing. Dental work and treatment of heartworms, cherry eye, mange, parvo exposure and broken limbs are some examples of what is done to save lives. Shot and medical records come with the dog upon adoption and include the last date heartworm prevention was administered.
