My story

Effie is a precious senior girl that is ready to find a family to call her own. Effie came to us from a horrible situation where she was one of twelve dogs that were living in a house that was beyond nasty - they had never been outside and were being fed just whatever was in the cabinets or refrigerator - Effie was so matted up when she came to the rescue that we did not even know if she was a male or female and she was not able to see until we shaved her down as her eyes were covered with matts of fur. Effie has really blossomed and is one of the more independent and confident dogs out of the group. She has decided that living the good life as a spoiled dog is pretty darn amazing and she loves to run and play outside. We estimate her age to be 7 years old- sometimes it is hard to tell as the neglect she suffered for years can make them appear normal and there was no way to tell her age from her teeth as they were in horrible shape and she had major dental work done after coming to the rescue. Effie does well with other dogs - she has not been around cats or small kids. She is doing well with her housebreaking but will require patience and consistency when going to a new home with a new schedule. Effie is spayed, has had her dental work done and remaining teeht cleaned. she has had a full workup with bloodwork and a urinalysis, heartworm tested and current on heartworm prevention and flea/tick prevention, dewormed, current on vaccines and microchipped. She weights 25 pounds and is the perfect lap dog that would love to keep your lap warm If you are interested in sweet Effie - please go to our website www.boxerbuttsandothermutts.org and fill out one of our adoption applications. We require this to be filled out and reviewed before we will set up any meet and greet - we do require vet references and and a home visit. Effie's adoption fee is $250.00 Effie said she is so ready to find a family and a home to call her own - will that be your home ?

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Effie, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
