new CL post- Chloe



Hello! I'm fostering Chloe, a 3-4 month old pit bull mix that needs a loving forever home. She's the one on the left with the funny ears in the above picture :)

She needs a home with structure and firm guidance. Chloe is very timid and scared at first, but warms up immediately to you. She walks better on the leash, but is scared easily by cars or taller, bigger people. Sometimes she gets brave and barks a few times :). Chloe is not yet potty trained, but is slowly and surely progressing in the right direction! She eats like a cow, but isn't food aggressive. She's been around cats and hasn't paid any attention to them, and she is scared but friendly around children. Chloe should not be placed in a home with a female dog.




To adopt Chloe, you MUST:
- Sign up for obedience classes with Chloe (and obviously go to them).
- Be patient and willing to work through anything with her as she grows up into a fabulous woman dog- ie. if she develops food aggression, dog aggression, toy aggression, separation anxiety, potty training, etc. I have a great list of dog trainers, and I do not want Chloe to go to a home where her new mom/dad will drop her off at a shelter or (god forbid) on the street when she's not a 'cute little puppy' anymore.
- Have previous experience with dogs.
- Have a schedule that is puppy-friendly. She should be let out to go to the bathroom at LEAST every 3 hours.
- Own your house, or have a written letter from your landlord stating you are allowed to have a dog (specifying breed restrictions if possible).

Once again, I stress that when you adopt a puppy, whether it be Chloe or someone else, they WILL not stay a puppy forever. There are many many instances where dogs have been surrendered to the shelter simply because they were not properly trained and their owners claimed their dogs were 'out of control.' Structure and firm guidance are essential when raising a puppy into a wonderful, loving dog.

Chloe is being fostered through PAWS and the adoption fee is $110 for puppies 12mo and younger. This adoption fee includes a 30-day pet insurance trial period, spaying, and all of her shots to date.

If you are interested, please email me with a statement as to how you would be the perfect home for cute little Chloe. I will not return emails that read 'Whn can i git ur puppie?' or 'i am perfect for her, how much is she cost?' or 'I wanna surprise my girlfriend with a puppy, can i pick her up today?'

Also- Chloe's sister Gracie is also up for adoption. She is currently very very sick and needs a lot of TLC, but will soon be a healthy and happy puppy as well.

Thanks for reading :)
