Story
Strip is a 10-12-year-old, 9-pound male yorkshire terrier mix from Texas! Strip is a quiet, gentle, and extremely polite and sweet pup. He has adjusted very well during his time in the city. Despite his small size, city noises and crowds don't phase him, he takes it all in slow stride. Strip enjoys napping, following you around the house, and cuddles and pets (which he will thank you for with polite kisses).
Strip does not yet know any commands, though due to his gentle and sweet nature, he hasn't needed any. During his time with his foster family, he seems to be housetrained, though he will also use potty pads in the house if/when needed in a pinch.
Strip is great on a leash and likes to take his time on slow, short walks (just a block or so will do the trick). Along the way, he will gladly stop to say hi to other friendly dogs if they show interest, but he doesn't pull towards them, or in general.
His forever family will need to be okay with Strip's slower pace, and low key vibes. No long walks or active play time or dog parks needed for this guy.
Strip does well in his crate during the day, and is also completely fine being left alone. He has no separation anxiety or destructive behaviors, and has not barked once or made any other noise in his foster home. He can usually be found napping when you get home. He loves to be cozy with his foster family, and prefers that over any toys or playing.
Strip is looking for a low key home. He appreciates downtime and calm environments. He would be fine as a solo dog or with another calm, lower energy dog he can snooze by. We would recommend Strip go to a home with older or no children, due to his small size and slower pace.
Vaccinated for rabies, DA2PP, and bordetella. Heartworm negative, neutered, and microchipped. Current on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.
To apply for Strip, visit our website (www.waggytailrescue.org) for an adoption application. It is important to fill out an application as soon as possible for consideration, and we require a complete application for you to meet an animal. We are currently unable to respond to general email inquiries as an all-volunteer run rescue. If the dog is on our website, they are still available.
Waggytail Rescue CANNOT guarantee the exact age of any adoptable dog, or final size of any of our adoptable puppies. We rely on the information provided to us by veterinarians, shelters, owner surrenders and other circumstances bringing the dog into our rescue.
