*FOSTER HOME 

 

This pet is in foster, you won't find them at the shelter

Here's what you need to know about me:

I can be shy in new spaces. I need a family who will let me take things at my own pace as I learn about new things. Once I come out of my shell, I have lots of love to give.

I'm easy going. Wanna go for a walk? Okay. Hang out in the yard? No problem. Just relax on the couch? I can do that. I'm pretty happy to go at your pace and I don't really need much more than most dogs do. If you're looking for a steady companion, I'm all yours.

It's recommended I meet any dogs or kids living in my new home before I'm adopted. I just want to make sure we all get along.

"PETER" little *TRI_POD* CHIHUAHUA "STUMPTOWN STRAYS"

 

   Stumptown Strays" is a wonderful local Rescue that helps shelter dogs in need of medical assistance.

"PETER"Available for adoption with STUMPTOWN STRAYS

PETER plus video adoption $400  Breed: CHIHUAHUA

2 yrs 9 lbs neutered male  Housetrained: Yes

ok with Dogs - YES, Cats -YES,  Kids- unknown

adoption application

Personality: Affectionate, Friendly, Playful, Loves Kisses

 

Peter, our 2 year old 9 pound chihuahua mix, won Best Smile when we put together our Stumptown Strays yearbook. It was no contest, really. He’s keen to show off his pearly whites when he’s happy, which is all of the time. We can’t wait to see his smile when we tell him we found him a home.
 
Found stray, Peter was likely hit by a car. His rear leg was badly damaged and, sadly, could not be saved. We took him in to amputate his leg and get him ready for adoption. Now that he’s healed, Peter is learning that tripods can do anything 4 legged dogs can do.
We would be hard pressed to find a negative thing to say about Peter. The closest we can come up with is that he periodically marks a chair that other dogs in his foster home have marked. But, really, that’s just Peter trying to fit in! Otherwise Peter is perfectly potty and crate trained. He loves greeting his foster family in the morning and always showcases his award winning grin. 
 
At home, Peter has been great with other dogs and respectfully ignores cats. He is generally very quiet. Peter is energetic and playful, and loves a game of fetch. He also requires chew toys; otherwise Peter may make a chew toy out of the tassels on your pillow. Peter has never met a stranger and is remarkably friendly and cuddly.
Peter is heartworm negative and current on his preventatives. His adoption fee is $400.
Want to be the one to give Peter that reason to smile? Apply to adopt on our website today! https://www.stumptownstrays.org/adoption-application 💙

"FETTUCCINI" loving little senior CHIHUAHUA "STUMPTOWN STRAYS"

   Stumptown Strays" is a wonderful local Rescue that helps shelter dogs in need of medical assistance.

"FETTUCCINI"Available for adoption with STUMPTOWN STRAYS

FETTUCCINI adoption $150  Breed: CHIHUAHUA

10 yrs 10 lbs  spayed female  Housetrained: Yes

ok with Dogs - YES, Cats- unknown,YES,  Kids- unknown

adoption application

Personality: Affectionate, Curious, Dignified, Friendly, Funny

Fettuccine, our 10 pound 10 year old chihuahua, loves when her people come home. She wiggles her whole body and brings them a stuffed animal - just in case they need one after a long day at work. Then, Fettuccine settles in to her favorite place to be - in her person's arms. Fettuccine is finally healthy enough to find her own family to carry her around.

Found stray, Fettuccine had terrible dental disease. She was also very thin and had two mammary masses that needed to be removed. After weeks of regular meals, Fettuccine was healthy enough for surgery. We spayed her, extracted several painfully infected teeth, and removed her masses. Although one of the masses came back as a low grade carcinoma (cancer), we are hopeful the surgery was curative. Like any dog that has to wait until she's 10 to be spayed, Fettuccine may be prone to more mammary masses in the future.

Fettuccine loves people. She is remarkably cuddly and would prefer to live with someone who wants a chihuahua in their lap every time they sit down. Fettuccine is great on a leash and loves to greet other dogs when out and about.

At home, Fettuccine is tolerant of her dog roommates. However, likely due to her previous starvation, Fettuccine resource guards her food from other dogs. Until she's very comfortable, she also guards people's laps from other dogs. For this reason, Fettuccine may prefer to be the only pet or should live with patient dogs as she decompresses.

Fettuccine is heartworm negative and is current on her flea and heartworm preventatives.

Is there room on your lap for a very deserving chihuahua? Would your day be better if someone handed you a stuffed animal when you got home?

  • I will need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted.
