*PitBoss Vegas the Dog needs a home

Umbrella of Hope "Be Our Pet"


7 yr old, 7 lb Chihuahua NEUTERED MALE for ADOPTION

 



Meet Mr PitBoss



 



Pit Boss is a 7 yr old, 7 lb Chihuahua NEUTERED MALE. He is also vaccinated, microchipped, free of parasites and has had senior labwork and a dental cleaning.



 



PitBoss joins us from Antioch Animal Services where he was owner-surrendered because the "other dogs were picking on him"



 



Alllllll PitBoss wants is another friendly dog to play with him but he does not have the awareness to know when to back off. He wants to interact with his friends ALL OF THE TIME and it probably gets on their nerves. We can guess this is what the owner thought was him getting picked on. The other dogs would tell him "ENOUGH" and he would not listen and so they had to escalate it. He really just wants a friend.



 



PitBoss has deformed ears by being made to live outside and having what is called "fly strike". It is a cosmetic issue only and will not cause him any issues.



 



PitBoss also has hypothyroidism that had gone untreated for a long time which caused some skin issues. Now that he has been properly treated, his skin issues have gone away. The pill is super cheap ($5/month) and we are hoping to get donations from our supporters in order to send him home with a year's supply (the most we can send per the law).



 



If you would like to donate towards PitBoss's thyroid meds, please do so at www.paypal.me/UOH



 



As with all animals aged 5+, PitBoss can be adopted to someone aged 55+ for a $5 adoption fee.

Umbrella of Hope does not have any strict rules on ages of children because all children are different, but our best approximation is that this animal would do best with children over the age of 5


Umbrella of Hope is a non-profit animal rescue based out of Pittsburg, CA that rescues animals off death row from local shelters. We offer rebates of adoption fees after completion of obedience classes and CGC titles. 


Also, ask us about our seniors for seniors program, where we adopt animals 5 years or older to qualified homes with a $5 donation as an adoption fee. All animals are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, treated for parasites and given any additional treatments (dental work, bloodwork etc) as recommended by our vet. Some of our senior animals have sponsorships for their food/vet care/medicine for the rest of their life at our vet in Pittsburg, CA (94565)
