Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Sport is a handsome fellow who is looking for a new home. He looks a lot like a Yorkie mix, possibly with Maltese, given where he came from. He had to be shaved down due to having lots of mats, so now it's hard to tell what he is! He came from Louisiana and is now in a NJ foster home. Sport and several other Yorkies and Malteses and mixes were dumped at a shelter when their breeder shut down. Our partner rescue in Louisiana stepped in to help save these pups! They are all a bit shy but they are learning how to live in foster homes. Sport is a great boy who is more outgoing than some of the others, but he still can be timid at times. He is good with the other dogs in his foster home, and tends to follow their lead in terms of going outside and back in, etc. Sport would do best in a home with other dogs that can show him how to be a "real" dog. Sport vacationed with cats and seemed to like them. Sport has met children in his foster home, and he is starting to seek out pets from the kids. He does like to snuggle and to be held. He is especially cuddly in bed! Sport has started greeting visitors and even the mailman - he's been gaining confidence. Sport doing very well with his housetraining skills. He needs a home where people are around during the day who can watch him and keep him on a good schedule. He is very unhappy in a pen or crate so we're keeping him leashed so we can keep an eye on him and get him housetrained. Sport is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and has tested negative for heartworm disease. His adoption fee is $450. Adopting a dog is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training prior to adoption. After all these dogs have been through they deserve a loving, committed home. How to Adopt Me! If you are interested in learning more about me, and possibly making me part of your family, please go to wagoninn.rescuegroups.org.
