MEET HAM! This sweet TINY chi/doxie mix (just a guess!) is impossibly cute and full of love 💕 Weighing just around 5lbs at 12 weeks old, Ham will be a VERY small dog—and that means special considerations for prospective families: •No small children! She is just too tiny for us to be comfortable placing her in a home with children under 10 years old. •Interested families must understand the importance of keeping their eyes out—Ham can easily get underfoot and could be stepped on! Because Ham has two luxated patellas in her back legs, she will need a little extra care: •She will likely need corrective surgery this summer, which the rescue will cover (though any adopter willing/able to contribute is always appreciated ❤️) •Her future family must be committed to helping her through surgery and recovery, which includes 6–8 weeks of rest, no stairs, and limited activity •The good news? She’s so tiny she’s easy to carry and cuddle while she heals 🥹 More info for Ham: 🐾 Loves other dogs! Would do best with small dogs, no big dogs 🐱 Does well with kitties 🧸 Loves toys 🍭 Highly food motivated—aka very trainable! 🦴 Loves chew bones ✔️ Is spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and on monthly preventions Ham is looking for a loving, committed home that will support her through her journey and give her the happy, healthy life she deserves 💗 If you are interested in meeting this sweet girl, please head to www.pettalesrescue.com and fill out an application ✍🏼
