Critter Details

Please contact Paul Slebzak (pauls@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.handsome boy looking for his forever home! CHIQUI NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name:    Chiqui       Best Guess for Breed:    Dachshund and Chihuahua mix   Best Guess for Age:    3 years as of Aug 2024       Gender:    Male Approximate Weight:    10.4 lbs Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven’t seen Chiqui with cats or kids, but he can be tested! Currently Living At: South Carolina shelter — Chiqui needs a foster or adopter to make his way to the DC area Special Adoption Considerations: Chiqui is heartworm positive, but this Lucky Dog got extra lucky! This pup is part of a groundbreaking study we are conducting at our South Carolina Rescue Campus that has the potential to change the way shelters across the United States treat heartworm positive dogs.  All dogs in the study are placed at random in either the 2 shot or 3 shot protocol with strictly monitored protocols in place. Four weeks following their final injection, the pups are eligible to transport to the DC area for placement in foster or adoptive care.  After treatment concludes, we work with adopters to arrange a free follow up heartworm test after 6 months, followed by a second test at 9 months.  We are happy to discuss this treatment and which phase of the study this Lucky Dog is in right now! Just email the adoption coordinator – the address is at lower left! Chiqui is Looking For:  Meet Chiqui, a sweet 3-year-old Dachshund/Chihuahua mix with a gorgeous long black and tan coat that gleams in the sunlight. At 11 pounds, Chiquiis the perfect small companion, full of love and ready to fill your life with joy. He has a gentle demeanor and adores cuddling up for a cozy nap or lounging by your side as you relax.
