Please don't call the shelter's number. ***

Right after Helene hit our area, a woman found a litter of puppies all alone in a ditch. How or why they ended up in the ditch is a mystery to the woman, but she knew that she couldn't't leave them there. After getting them to her home, she noticed that the smallest of the puppies, Chance, appeared to have been bitten by a larger dog. The woman asked for our help in caring for and placing the pups and we were more than glad to help.

Chico is definitely the alpha of this litter but is still very sweet, playful and affectionate. Oddly, at such a young age, he doesn't seem to be too fond of cats, but simply loves people and other dogs. His very friendly personality makes him a great candidate as a family companion.

Chico has had 2 of 3 first year "puppy vaccines, de-wormings and other such care. He should receive another vaccine on Nov. 22 to complete his regiment of first year vaccines. He will need additional house and leash training. His adopter must agree to having Chico neutered once he reaches 6 months of age and provide verification of such to our rescue.
