JACK IS NOW PENDING ADOPTION!

Hello, My name is Jack and I am the most adorable, loveable and playful dog around. I’m an approx. 15 month old Chihuahua weighing 13-14 lbs.  I get along well with other dogs, currently have a brother Xedo who has taught me a few good things.  I’m not quite sure how I would react to cats and I’m a little squirmy around young people and men.

I have been abused prior to my current home, I was malnourished and a little apprehensive of trusting my new Mom.  But I found that I love her so much, that I can’t stand for her to leave the house.  I have what’s called separation anxiety.

When Mom is home, I am such a good boy, always.  I am affectionate and love to snuggle next to Mom in her chair and follow her everywhere, sometimes I get so excited that I try to jump on her as she is walking, but she has taught me to sit, stay, we are working on down and I give her my paw when I want a treat. I love to run in circles and play with my mom and my brother in the yard. I am definitely house-trained, but you have to sometimes leave a puppy pad down, since I don’t like to wake people at night when they are sleeping.
I am looking for a new home because as hard as it is for my Mom, she feels it is not fair to me to be in a crate for 5 hours a day that I absolutely despise while she is working.  And she is fearful that I am going to really hurt myself  badly trying to escape from the crate.  Mom always takes me with her when she can, but that is not always possible and I don’t understand why.

I am up to date on all of my shots, neutered and micro-chipped.   I am currently taking Prozac which was prescribed by my Vet, but I still miss Mom terribly when she goes out.

A Note from Mom:
I am extremely heartbroken for Jack and myself.  I have so fallen in love with this little guy. He is such a little lovebug.  He has been through so much in his short life, I wish he could talk and tell me his story.  Jack needs to have someone that will be with him 24/7 and love him as much as I do.  He needs to be cuddled during day hours and sleeps very close (in the bed) at night.
