Gil Located in Dalton NE Chihuahua mix 07/28/2021 Birthday Dog friendly Cat friendliness unknown but likely fine Will be fine with older children who are CALM and have dog manners, he is too WAY small to be manhandled or played with rough Not fully house trained. If you put him outside he will go but he will not usually go out on his own. This could change in a home with less dogs. Whomever adopts him needs to be willing to work with him on this. He is crate trained and as long as he is crated with Ike he's fine. He must be able to sleep under the covers in his new home as he adores it and he's slept like this for a solid majority of his life. Has learned some basic commands and has amazing recall LOTS of LOUD opinions and believes that he is a Doberman and fierce when barking if there is a strange noise, usually from under blankets. He really isn't an apartment appropriate dog, unless you're looking to get out of your lease, then he is the PERFECT dog He is VERY shy at first and will need a home that understands it may be a bit of a slower process than a usual dog, if you rush it he will never come around and will end up returned so this is a serious aspect that you as an adopter need to consider realistically and carefully. We do not want him returned so you will need to be 100% committed to the process. Needs to be adopted with his sibling Ike Likes to sleep under the covers, or in "cave" beds Fully vetted 8lbs approx These 2 boys are Ike (larger brindle) and Gilligan (smaller tan). These boys have been with us their whole lives (born 7/28/21) and while their foster absolutely LOVES them they deserve their FURever home. The issue is that they must go TOGETHER, everyone has wanted Gilligan but no one was also interested in Ike. These boys have the sweetest most healthy and delightful bond that splitting them up just isn’t in their best interest and would be cruel. Gil is more outgoing and comes around to ppl faster than Ike who is more shy. Gil is 8lbs packed with hilarious antics and loves to cuddle. Ike is also a touch mischievous but is more independent than Gil. Once both boys get to know and trust you both are crazy sweet. Together they are a perfect pair. They play perfectly together and with other dogs extremely well. Ike does watch out for Gilligan, especially around larger dogs, as Gilligan seems to have no idea he's bitty, he absolutely adores the fosters huge Saint Bernard and other large dogs but when it gets rowdy there comes Ime to make sure Gil is safe. If you’re interested in adding 2 precious little boys to your family don’t hesitate to reach out! Both boys are dog friendly. Both are likely fine with cats. Both would be fine with older non heathen kids (Gil is only 8lbs so needs children who understand “gentle”). Both are shy but not nippy at all, they will hide not fight. Both do ok with housetraining they could be more consistent but there is a lot going on in the current foster home so it's very inconsistent. Both love cuddling with each other, cuddling with their ppl, cuddling with other dogs and both are use to sleeping with their human and each other. These 2 are the most delightful pair and deserve the most amazing home. We are NOT looking for a home that really just wants Gilligan but is willing to take Ike to get him. Both dogs are precious and deserves someone who loves them both equally and as much as their foster mom does. Original Description, which is still 100% trueGil was the 3rd pup born and 100% the most needy. He is 1/3 the size of his brother but he makes up for it in pure gumption! He has no fear, he loves to snuggle he's the tiniest little man with such HUGE personality. To this peanut every day is an adventure and he is down to live every moment to its fullest! He is going to keep someone on their toes and we cannot wait to meet his people! $200.00 Adoption Fee (Which is considered a non refundable donation and being we are a 501c3 organization it is tax deductible.
