Dorothy
Dorothy is a 12 year old, 11 lb very sweet, quiet and calm chiweenie who came to us in an emaciated state. She has gained weight, but is still a very thin senior. She loves lap-sitting, following family members around the house and napping. A bonus is that Dorothy does not bark. Dorothy also loves going for morning walks and stroller rides. Dorothy has a grade 6/6 heart murmur and is on medication for that. She also some senior dog visual impairment. Dorothy's adoption fee has been sponsored. There is a $15 rabies registration fee for McLean County residents. She has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives. To be considered for adoption, you must first submit the application found at: http://fs16.formsite.com/WishBoneCanineRescue/adoptionapplication/index.html For information about this dog's breed(s), visit: http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/abc.htm
