Dale the Chihuahua
Hello World!! My name is Dale, and I am an 8-year-old golden chihuahua boy who is looking for a new home. (my old name was Gayle, but that is a girl name so we changed it!)
I used to be one of those dogs that you hear about or see on the TV commercials that live in the back yard, in a cage, with the sad music in the background, asking you to rescue them. Well, here is your chance!!
Actually, I was turned into a local animal control after living for 8 years outside, and was doing pretty well, until they decided I had heartworms, and then, because they don’t treat those, I was on the …‘gulp’… kill list. Fortunately, because I am so cute and loveable, God’s Dogs rescue decided I was a great guy and they would treat those nasty old worms and here I am!!!
I have had my worms treated and will come with 4 months of Simparica Trio monthly preventatives to make sure my worms are totally gone for good. I have gone through the shots and the waiting month after the shots and feel great now!
I am a very happy little guy. I weigh only 7.5 pounds and am housebroken. I get along with other dogs of any size, I don’t care about cats and I love people! Foster mom has a set of stairs by the bed and whenever she is in there, I am snuggled up right by her side, keeping her warm and comfy at night.
I walk well on a leash, and I can’t wait to meet you!!

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
