My family couldn't keep me anymore and I came to DDR with lots of issues, fleas, bad teeth and need to be spay. It's a lot for a girl my age. Once I get back on track I will be ready for a new furever home. Can you sponsor me while I work through all my medical needs? Fleas are now taken care of but I still need to be spay and have a dental. I am 12 yrs young, I weigh 8 pounds, my adoption fee is $250 plus sales tax $11.25=$261.25     My adoption fee helps cover all of my vetting needs such as HW test, rabies, DHPPL, Bordetella, spay, dental and microchipping.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 20, 2024, 8:55 pm

Hey! You got toys? I love toys. You got a couch? I love a couch! You got a smaller dog needing a buddy? I've played well with smaller dogs needing buddies. I don't want to live with any cats though, they smell like a good lunch to me! The tip of curly tail gave me the name Piglet, or Piggy, but I'm really just a cool dude looking to snuggle. Let's meet!

I came from a home where I helped raised a litter of puppies and I enjoyed playing with them. I've spent a lot of time outside but I behave well indoors, too. The team at HHS is still learning about me so give them a call!

Hello world! I'm here with my siblings and taking up snuggy space until you adopt me. My needs post adoption will include a trip to vet for my rabies vaccine and one booster vaccine. Plus, you have to neuter me when I'm grown up and ready! You'll be able to get some of your adoption fee back when that happens! Want to house train a puppy in the winter? let's meet!
