Sport is a handsome fellow who is looking for a new home. He looks a lot like a Yorkie mix, possibly with Maltese. He had to be shaved down due to having lots of mats, so now it's hard to tell what he is! He came from Louisiana and is now in a NJ foster home.
Sport and several other Yorkies and Malteses and mixes were dumped at a shelter when their breeder shut down. Our partner rescue in Louisiana stepped in to help save these pups! They are all a bit shy but they are learning how to live in foster homes. Sport is a great boy who is more outgoing than some of the others, but he still is quite timid. He is good with the other dogs in his foster home, and tends to follow their lead in terms of going outside and back in, etc. Sport would do best in a home with other dogs that can show him how to be a "real" dog. We aren't too sure on cats yet for most of these dogs. Sport has met children in his foster home, and he is starting to seek out pets from the kids. He does like to snuggle and to be held. He is especially cuddly in bed! Sport has started greeting visitors and even the mailman - he's already gaining confidence.
Sport needs work on his housetraining skills. He's getting better every day about pottying outside. He enjoys going for walks, but doesn't realize that he should be doing more than walking on those outings! :-)
Sport is now neutered, up to date on vaccines and has tested negative for heartworm disease. His adoption fee is $450.
Adopting a dog is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training prior to adoption. After all these dogs have been through they deserve a loving, committed home.
