ADOPTED! APRIL 28, 2014
Roots is a two year old Chorkie (our best guess….Yorkshire Terrier mixed with Chihuahua), but he could have some Pomeranian or Maltese in there. He’s a terrier mixed mutt plain and simple. He was surrendered to a local by his former owners for being “too hyper” and “not house trained”. He was not doing well in the shelter environment so we agreed to see how he did in our cage-free environment. He had a great evaluation day, loved all the dogs he met and he’s now a Secondhand Mutt looking for a home.
Roots has now been in a foster home and we are happy to report he IS house trained! Roots can be a little ornery on the grooming table so if you plan to take him to a grooming shop please give them warning. We have not tested him with cats or kids but can do this upon request. Roots is an active little guy, he LOVES belly rubs and will fall over on his back to get one. He enjoys the company of big dogs!
We are not a traditional shelter, we are a cage-free facility. All dogs are temperament tested and must get along with other dogs to stay here. Appointments must be made in advance to meet our Secondhand Mutts. Please call 216-664-9660 or email rescue@secondhandmutts.org to set up a time. We are closed on Sundays. We prefer to adopt to local families but will consider long distance adoptions.
Adoption Fee $200
