**PLEASE BE SURE YOU ARE READY TO ADOPT WHEN REQUESTING AN APPLICATION, AND THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF REGULAR GROOMING FOR CHUCKY** 2-18-26: "Hello everyone, my name is CHUCKY, and I am so glad you stopped to learn about me! I am looking pretty rough right now, as I was surrendered to the local shelter when my owner could no longer afford my care. I was horribly matted, and so bad that I had areas where the matting was so wrapped around my leg, that now I have an open wound. This wound has been treated and bandaged, as you can see in my one photo! I am about 5 years old, neutered, chipped, had my vaccines and am heart worm negative! I am a Shih Tzu, and I weigh in at 9 pounds! I am good with other dogs, but cats and children I can't say. My foster Mom says that I am the sweetest baby and you will just love me--and to just wait till my fur grows back in! She is going to get me professionally cleaned up just as soon as my post neuter surgery wait is up!" "If I sound like a sweet boy you'd love to meet, just email my Mom at citizens4animals@yahoo.com for an application or any questions you may have! For fastest response, please DO NOT CALL the number on here, email, as the emails are constantly monitored!! My adoption fee is $325.00 to cover my vetting" "Till we meet" Love, CHUCKY **GOOD VERIFIABLE VET REFERENCE REQUIRED**
