This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped.

Geronimo is proof that good things come in small packages! This pint sized sweetie has been in his foster home for a month and has gotten along with the adults, kids, dogs and (dog savvy) cats so far. He is described as a great house guest. Geronimo enjoys playgroup with other pups and a romp around the yard and then is happy to chill and cuddle up in your lap. He rides well in a car in his crate. Geronimo is still young and is working on his house training and walking on the leash. He is described as intelligent and eager to please his people which may help with that training. His foster family remarked about Geronimo's striking good looks. He is tan with a white chest and he has some adorable little white toes. Did we mention those ears? What a cutie!

Gentle Geronimo is healthy now but was treated in February for an umbilical hernia which was repaired when he was neutered. He is not expected to need further treatment. Due to his small size, Geronimo would do best in a home with older children. Geronimo is ready for his family, his next adventure and his forever home.

An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see HERE for more information about this.

**Additional info you should know - For most of our dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each of our dogs as an individual and do our best to describe and place them based on personality not breed label. Some dogs may not yet be in New England, nor ready for immediate adoption. There may be additional vetting, quarantine, waiting periods and/or fees depending upon your state of residence. If you have questions or concerns on any of this, you can discuss this with your Adoption Counselor.

They come in a variety of coat colors and patterns, with both long and short coats, making them a diverse and adorable addition to any family.
