Ivy the Dog needs a home
Name: Ivy
Suspected Breed: Chihuahua mix
Approximate Age: 5 years
Approximate Weight: 11 lbs
Personality: Affectionate, playful, smart

Ivy is simply wonderful! She has a sweet disposition and a heart full of joy. Smart as a whip and eager to please, she already knows a few tricks she will gladly perform in return for treats!
Her foster mom reports no accidents in the house thus far, and she does beautifully with the resident cat and dog, as well as grandchildren.
Like most shelter dogs, Ivy may need a refresher on housetraining and crate training. We ask all of DC PAWS’ fosters to work on both house and crate training with their foster dog.
The adoption fee for this dog is $350. If you are interested in adopting Ivy, please submit an adoption application at https://dcpawsrescue.org/adoption-info/adoption-application-dogs/DC PAWS Rescue does our best to provide accurate and complete information about our adoptable animals. Please note that we cannot make any guarantees about age or breed; we rely upon our rescue partners and their veterinarians to make those assessments. We also cannot make any guarantees about housebreaking and animal temperament, as animals can behave differently through transition and in different environments.
Our shelter partners provide a basic vet screening for each animal we rescue, which includes necessary vaccinations, deworming, microchipping, and spay/neuter (unless the animal is too young or otherwise deemed by the vet to not be a good candidate for surgery). Please note that this is not a comprehensive medical exam and as such, may not identify any and all medical issues, though our goal is to flag any obvious health issues through the basic vet screening. We share all medical records with adopters and flag any known issues prior to adoption finalization.
