Story
Meet Shimmer, a super sweet 5-6 year old female chihuahua! Shimmer was rescued from a hoarding case in east TN, and she and 9 other chihuahuas (several of which were pregnant) were taken in by Paws Rescue League. They were in a TN foster home for over a month decompressing and learning to trust people. Shimmer is now in New England and ready to find her furever home!
Shimmer is a "tripawd", she is missing the lower portion of her back left leg. We don't know how she lost her leg as the came into rescue in this condition, but it does not stop her one bit! She runs and jumps around just fine and she does a cute little hop.
She is a shy girl and takes time to warm up to new people, so she will need someone who is patient and gentle with her, and who will work with her on continued socialization. Once you earn her trust, she is an absolute sweetheart and will take treats from your hand and give gentle kisses.
She is good with other dogs and cats. Due to her shyness, we recommend older kids 8+ who know to respect a dog's space.
Shimmer is medically up to date (not yet spayed - will be spayed prior to adoption), crate trained, and pee pad trained. Apply to meet this special girl today!
Adoption fees vary based on the dog and are not negotiable. As a small rescue that does not receive government funding or grants, we rely on adoption fees to stay afloat. Adoption fees help cover the following: vaccinations, wellness exams, heartworm/4DX testing, parasite prevention, spay/neuter (age-appropriate), microchipping, transport expenses, and other rescue-related overhead/administrative costs. Paws Rescue League, Inc is an all-inclusive rescue that does NOT only rescue puppies and young, healthy dogs. We make a point to also rescue seniors, dogs with special needs, moms, and other “less desirable” dogs, knowing that we will likely incur higher veterinary expenses and that these dogs may take longer to get adopted. As such, an individual adoption fee is not only reimbursing PRL for expenses directly related to that dog, but it is also helping us to continue our mission of taking in dogs that would otherwise be too much of a financial burden to save. We believe that ALL dogs deserve a second chance. Thank you for your support and understanding!
