Adopt a Chihuahua / Mixed (medium coat)

Chihuahua / Mixed (medium coat) Dog

PHOEBE the Dog needs a home

Cute little Phoebe weighs in at a mere five pounds, which is lucky because she frequently ends up carrying that weight around on her two front legs like a circus performer. Phoebe has fused hind legs due to some unknown birth defect or past injury and walks oddly when using all four legs. She tends to use all four legs indoors and just the front two outdoors. She doesn''t appear to be in any pain but doesn''t love going up and down long flights of stairs. Phoebe is housetrained and gets along with other mellow dogs of all sizes and cats but is snappy and defensive around high energy and young dogs and cats. She needs a home without young children (12+) as well. Phoebe is very snuggly and likes to sleep under the covers with you, and if you give her a couple weeks to settle in you will see what a joyful, happy little dog she is!

For more information or to meet Phoebe, contact Cheryl at 801-261-2919 x295. She is in a foster home and available to meet by appointment. Phoebe''s adoption fee is $150 which includes one set of vaccinations, deworming, spay, microchip, a certificate for a free exam with a participating local veterinarian, and a slip leash to take her home.
