Chongie

My story

Chongie is a yorkie mix who is 5-1/2 years old and weighs a chubby 18 lbs. He is being fostered in Ft. Myers, FL. Chongie’ adoption fee is $295 UPDATED BIO 06/17/2019: Hi everybody – Chongie here. I’m checking in with all my people that may want to adopt me. You already know that I am a great boy. I am quiet, and the only time I may grumble is if you don't throw me the ball. I do require a kong ball and a plush toy. A boy has to have choices because sometimes you feel like a squeak and sometimes you don't. I would like a yard to frolic in but if you don’t have a fenced yard, then a few long walks everyday would be fun, too. My potty habits have improved and I still do have an accident here and there, but I am getting better and better. I enjoy being with my family whether we are playing or just watching TV. Well, that's all for now, folks. You can email my foster mom with any questions and I promise she is going to tell you the same things I did. Oh, and I’m sure she will say lots more sweet things about me. UPDATED BIO 04/13/2019: Hi, it’s Chong here, lovingly called Chongo in my foster home. It's Mr. Chongo in some circles. I am a pretty laid-back fellow. I do love to have a ball or toy to chew on and am playful as well. I like being around my people – a lot. I hang out with the other pups here too. I need to lose some weight so it would be a good idea for me to go on walks 2-3x a day to help me do that. I came into UYR with my buddy Cheech. You may remember that our previous owner dropped us both off in a church parking lot and we were in a crate together. That wasn’t very nice, was it? But we won the lottery since a very nice person found us and got in touch with UYR – and we love our Foster Mom & Dad. I love Cheech very much and it would be awesome to be adopted into the same home with him, but I would also be okay if we went to different forever homes as well. We both kinda do our own thing - he only cares about laying on the couch and watching TV and I love playing. I did have surgery to remove some bladder stones after coming to my foster home, but I am doing great now and feel so much better. I am on a special diet now and need to be on this diet for the rest of my life so that the stones don’t come back. At first, I tried the food that was called pate’ – I think that’s a fancy French word. I didn't like it at all. Foster Mom then tried the beef stew and it was a big winner with me. If you looking for a doggie companion that is game to try new things, then I would be your guy. I am very easy-to-please and even easier to love. Oh, and I sleep in the bed. The big bed that is. Don't worry, I will leave room for you, too. UPDATED BIO 01/19/2019: Chong and his brother Cheech are acclimating nicely to their foster home after being abandoned in a crate dumped in a church parking lot, along with a bag of food. Chong has seen the vet and began the process of updating his vaccinations. Thankfully both dogs are heartworm & fecal negative. Chong does need a dental badly and this will be scheduled soon. Because Chong is a chubby 18 lbs, Foster Mom has him on a weight-reduction diet so that he can be a healthier and happier weight. Stay tuned for more information on both Chong and Cheech as his foster parents get to know them better. PLEASE NOTE: Chong and Cheech are bonded and must be adopted together.
