My story

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

Checkers is a male white with black chihuahua. He is age-guessed as 9-12 months old and he weighs 5 pounds. Checkers is recently neutered. He is vaccinated including rabies. Checkers is heartworm negative and on monthly heartworm preventive. Checkers is ready for adoption.

Intake picture and post surgery picture shown. More pics will be added soon.

Checkers is Valentine #5 from our group rescued on Valentine’s Day, all pulled from the same overcrowded home. We named him Checkers in memory of a family dog that he reminded us of. Checkers is the absolute sweetest, most loving little guy. He is a little timid; like he’s not used to being singled out for attention. Checkers is so friendly with other dogs and loves to play with friends and toys. He also likes people and should be fine with kids who treat him right. Checkers is kennel trained and has only had a couple of pee accidents when loose in the house (due to us learning each other). He is unsure about the leash. Checkers deserves to be important to someone and would make a great family member for a family with or without nice kids and with or without other dogs as long as he’s not left alone all the time. He would like a yard but it doesn’t have to be large.

A completed adoption application and, upon approval, an adoption contract is required. Jeff Tarpley Rescue welcomes applications from homeowners, renters, and condo or apartment dwellers. At a minimum, a phone interview will be conducted and a vet reference checked before the applicant may meet their preferred pet.
