Ever wanted a small dog but felt bad when they couldn't hop over a snowbank or make it up the stairs? A dog with the grace of an antelope, the balance of a meerkat and the disposition of a baby bunny? Well it's your lucky day, meet Sticks! This chihuahua-on-stilts will win you over in a heartbeat. Whether he's using his extra long limbs to grab your hand for more pets or to hop after a toy, this genetic marvel is guaranteed to add joy and love into your daily routine. While his first 2 years of life are a bit of a mystery, Sticks finds himself at Underdog Rescue ready to meet his forever family. This little love bug just wants a family to cuddle up with on the couch after a long day of romping around the yard. Sticks can be a little cautious and shy at first but quickly comes out of his shell once he feels comfortable. Sticks would be happy with other dogs, respectful cats and older children. Weighing in at a whole 7 lbs Sticks comes to you fully vetted, neutered and up to date on all his shots. Do you have room in your heart and lap for this long legged little fella?
Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter's expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home.
