Chihuahua and Pit Bull Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Galt, California

💞 Meet Nikki! 💞

Nikki is a sweet and silly 7-week-old Chihuahua/Pit Bull mix weighing 3 lbs. 💕 She has already started her DAPP vaccines and has been treated for worms, fleas, and coccidia.

Nikki was born into our rescue along with her sister, Dahlia. ❤️ While her mother, Maia, and sister Dahlia have already found their homes, Nikki is now looking for her own forever family. 🏡

As the smallest of her litter, Nikki has developed a hernia. Our vet has evaluated her and, since she is currently too young for surgery, recommended waiting until she is 6 months old to see if it repairs itself. 🐾 The hernia is currently reducible, meaning it is not always present and does not cause her any pain. If it has not self-repaired by the time she is 6 months old, it will be fixed during her spay procedure. 💓

Because of this, we have decided to sponsor her adoption fee. Heart of Galt Rescue will cover the cost of her spay, rabies vaccine, and hernia repair by our veterinarian in addition to the medical treatment already given. 🐶

Nikki is a fun-loving and outgoing puppy who loves playing with other dogs. She may be small, but she is mighty and enjoys everything from tug-of-war to cuddles. 🐕 While she hasn't met cats yet, we believe she would do well with a proper introduction. 🐈

If you think your family would be a great fit for Nikki, please apply at HeartOfGaltRescue.com. She can’t wait to meet you! 🐾
