Harvey

My story

· ptrSseodnotmfpmtA 0969t 1u1m6 it0A5cl7:3a35ma03raumaa20167M  ·  HARVEY (Sacramento, CA) 3 years old. 4.4lbs. PAINFULLY CUTE. #ouch Harvey has fallen in love with the outdoors. He absolutely loves the sun and taking a nap in its warmth. Harvey is looking for a very special foster or adopter. He is most needing someone that understands safe attachment being foundational for any training, especially potty training. With his neglect and stressful hoarding background (he came from 25 dogs!), he has not had the chance to learn any of the skills that will help him be successful... yet. Harvey is a quick learner, however, and is already showing how eager he is to grow. He is driven by affection and responds well to gentle correction and reassurance. Harvey is also looking for someone that understands the increased safety risks of dogs his size. From birds of prey to the smallest holes in your fence, being this little means the big world around him can present dangers that someone experienced with his size would understand. This is also true for his longterm veterinary care. Chihuahuas this size have an increased propensity toward certain health issues. The right adopter will be committed to his veterinary health, especially that of his teeth. Harvey just had a dental and 10 teeth removed due to the severity of the neglect he survived. Care for his oral health will be crucial to his longterm happiness. Finally, Harvey needs a family with another dog or two his size. As we've assessed what helps Harvey feel safest, it's clear that a friend his size boosts his confidence and helps him learn the ropes of training.
