My name is Pierre!

Pierre is a 7-8 year old, Cairn Terrier mix well mannered dog who has endured months of medical surgeries to fix his jaw.  Pierre came into rescue via the Arizona Humane Society where he was picked up as a stray.  When Pierre came into Help A Dog Smile Rescue he had a broken jaw and lacerated tongue.  He spent 6 months at our Vet partner’s hospital undergoing several complicated procedures to try and fix his broken jaw.  During that entire time Pierre was also weaning an e-collar (cone)

Finally, after 6 months Pierre was allowed to go to his foster home.   He still had all kinds of wires in his mouth, and it was not certain if his broken jaw would ever heal, but it did!  After 8 months all of Pierres wires have been removed as has his cone. Throughout his ordeal Pierre showed his sweet personality.  The vets love him!  Pierre loves his morning walks without a cone!  Now that Pierre has recovered he only has one thing on his wish list.  A forever home!

Pierre gets along with other small dogs and all adults.   Pierre is an excellent companion dog who will happily go for a walk and then keep you company the rest of the day. If you are looking for a companion and have a calm household Pierre is waiting for you.  After months in a hospital we have promosied Pierre we would find him a forever home with a secure yard so he can explore, walk and sit in the sun. Pierre's ideal home will have someone who is home most of the time or have another small companion dog for Pierre.

Pierre is neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. His adoption fee of $350 helps offset medical fees. If you live in the Phoenix metro area, have another dog, and think Pierre could be the right fit for you, please complete an adoption  https://helpadogsmile.org/adoption-application/ *.
