My story

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

King



2 year old, neutered male, 14 lbs



Chihuahua mix 



 



PERSONALITY TRAITS: King is a high energy jumping bean! He can jump right into your arms, and loves to run, jump, and hug you! He wakes up full of energy in the morning, and settles down towards evening. He's a good boy who will chew a bone quietly, or roughhouse with resident dogs. And look at those satellite ears, they’re so adorable! KING loves pets and belly rubs, and will kiss, hug, and snuggle you in return. 



 



LIKES: Bones, ropes, and especially balls. Loves burying himself in blankets, and cuddling. 



 



DISLIKES: Being outside alone. 



 



POTTY TRAINING STATUS: Work in progress but doing great with treat motivation. 



 



CRATE TRAINING STATUS: Whines initially but settles down. He will get agitated if he can see you or other pets, and does better in isolation. 



 



EXTRAS/MISC.: KING has been great with older kids (7+) and teens and is not recommended for younger children due to jumping and energy. He is happy to be a lap dog or play with other dogs of any size (even 85+ lbs dogs). He’s not intimidated at all! He can be a little guarded about sharing food and treats, and does best when eats alone. Will sleep in crate, but much prefers under the covers at the end of your bed. He would benefit from obedience training to help him control his body in exciting situations a bit more.



 



To further inquire about KING, submit an online application via our website. 



https://wigglytails.org 



 



Tell us about yourself, family, other pets, and how KING will mesh with your lifestyle. Qualifying applicants will be contacted by our Adoption Coordinator with next steps and an opportunity to set up a Meet & Greet. 



 



Our process is NOT a “first come, first served” process. (We DO NOT hold pets for later consideration.) Our team carefully reviews and interviews applicants for the best possible fit for each adoptable pet, and potential family. 



 



We look forward to facilitating a positive and solid adoption for KING, as well as his future family.



  *Fostered in Eugene/Springfield, Oregon

Qualifying applicants will be contacted by our Adoption Coordinator with information about the next steps and setting up a Meet and Greet. Our process is not a “first come, first served” process. Our team carefully reviews and interviews applicants to find the best fit for each adoptable dog and potential family. Filling out an application in no way guarantees you a dog or a response email as we get hundreds of applications and choose the best home for the dog.



Distemper/Parvo boosters,  and rabies shot, microchip, and spay/neuter surgery are included with the adoption fee.  You will also receive a PetSmart puppy packet with hundreds of dollars of savings, a FREE bag of food, 30 minute private training session with a certified dog trainer, and a free checkup at Banfield. 



Potential adopters must live within 30 miles of Eugene, Oregon. If you live outside the 30 mile radius, still send us an email, as we will can make exceptions if the circumstances are optimal for the dog or puppy.

Additional adoption info

The process for adoption through our rescue begins with the adoption application. Once accepted, a meet and greet with the dogs is arranged and includes everyone in the family including other pets. If the dog seems like a good fit, he/she is brought to the home where the dog will be living to make sure it is an appropriate home....ie. dog friendly, fenced yard, etc. Finally, an adoption agreement is signed to insure that the adopter understands what is expected of them.

Go meet their pets

All our dogs are in foster homes prior to finding their forever homes. Please contact us if you see a dog you'd like to meet. We also participate in adoption events at local pet stores.
