CHECK OUT CHICCO THE CHARMER We don't know where he came from, but we're pretty sure about where he's going. Chicco was a stray so his breeding (Chihuahua-Dachshund mix) and age (18 months) are educated guesses. Despite his time as a wanderer, this little guy is in excellent health. He's also an affectionate snuggler who likes to follow his foster mom around the house, play with toys and his canine foster siblings. He's already responding to his name. Chicco weighs about 10.5 pounds and is a quiet, gentle and even-tempered fellow. He's still a puppy in some ways. He's learning (or re-learning, perhaps) house- and leash training. Right now, he's a busy marker but he is scheduled to be neutered very soon, and he's also gotten used to wearing belly bands. Chicco is a flight risk so he needs a home with a secure, fenced-in yard. Like many Chis, he sometimes trembles, especially if he is in a new place or with new people. He is comfortable in a crate but might cry a little the first few minutes. He is being assessed for his behavior around children and cats. Chicco is heartworm negative, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations. Available through Tired Dog Rescue, Gulfport, MS.

We at Tired Dog Rescue strive to find homes for dogs in need, build quality relationships with responsible owners, and preserve current dog-family homes by seeking solutions to financial, behavioral, and situational dog problems. We believe the lives of homeless, abandoned and abused dogs are just as precious as dogs that currently have a loving home. We believe that all dogs deserve a loving home despite their age, medical condition and/or disabilities. We provide whatever medical care is needed regardless of cost. All dogs are spayed/neutered, heartworm negative and current on vaccinations before being placed.
