Adopt a Chihuahua / Whippet / Mixed
Fred (f.k.a. Yoyo) the Dog needs a home
Name: Fred (f.k.a. Yoyo)
Breed: Chihuahua Whippet mix
Approximate Age: 5 years old
Approximate Weight: 15 lbs
Currently Living at: DC area foster home
**Fred's rescue was generously sponsored by Karen Schaufeld in honor of her husband, who dearly loves animals and appreciates the efforts of animal rescues.**
Fred used to live in a home with a family, but found himself in an overcrowded lonely shelter. He is a lively chi mix who likes to play with other dogs, playing with good kids, and taking walks to burn off all of the holiday feasting. Consider starting your holidays with a friend as well as a work out buddy. Fred is perfectly sized for apartment living and is past all that crazy puppy energy.
Like most shelter dogs, Fred may need a refresher on house training 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 Fred, please submit an adoption application at http://dcpawsrescue.org/adoption-info/.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.
About DC PAWS Rescue
Our rescue is an all-volunteer, foster-based dog and cat rescue in the DC area. We rescue from rural areas in the south, as well as local DC area shelters, such as Prince Georges County, MD and Wicomico County, MD.
