Georgie (AKA Dopey) - Chihuahua and Jack Russell Terrier Dog for Adoption in Ferndale, Michigan

Hi, I'm Georgie!

I came into rescue with my mom and my two brothers after our family could no longer care for us. My mom and brothers have all found their forever homes, but I had to stay with my foster family a little longer after giving my foster mom quite a scare.

One night, I had a seizure, so she rushed me to the emergency vet. They ran lots of tests, and all of my lab work came back normal. I even visited a veterinary neurologist (a doctor who knows all about brains!), and my exam didn't show anything out of the ordinary. Just to be safe, I'm taking medication three times a day to help prevent seizures. The neurologist thinks it may have been a one-time event, and there's a chance I won't need medication forever-but for now, it's helping me stay happy and healthy.

Now that we've gotten that out of the way, let me tell you the fun stuff!

I'm about 3 months old, weigh around 4 pounds, and I'm a tiny bundle of personality! My foster family thinks I'm a Chihuahua/Jack Russell Terrier mix, which means I've got lots of spunk packed into my little body. I love to play, and I get along wonderfully with kids, cats, and other dogs. I'm also doing a great job with my potty training!

I hope my medication doesn't scare you away. It doesn't slow me down one bit, and I promise I'm just as sweet, playful, and loving as they come. I'm looking for a family who will see how special I am and give me the forever home I've been waiting for.

I am also spayed and up to date on vaccinations.

If you think I might be the perfect little lady for your family, I'd love to meet you. Please fill out an application-I can't wait to find my happily ever after!
