Wattson

The _____ transport came to us from Niagara Falls! Joyful Rescues feels strongly that, because of the drastic dog overpopulation problem that resulted due to human behavior during the pandemic, that we must do the responsible thing and focus our efforts in our own western NY region. The population problem has also created an environment ripe for increased animal hoarding when good hearted humans take on more than they have the resources to care for them which is the case for the 9 dogs and 3 cats that arrived here in pretty rough shape. A few of the dogs have no teeth and the others will need a dental, which we will do for them, and with this much neglect they will likely need a second dental in the near future so we want to be sure, if you choose to open your home to one of them, that you will be prepared for this cost. Everyone's nails were overgrown, and the longer haired ones were terribly matted and even had some twigs embedded in the mats. Any donations toward their care would surely be appreciated. Some of them are a bit shy at first, but they've been through a lot and we feel given a bit of time they will be the loves of your life! Wattson was born about July 1, 2012 and weighs about ____ lbs. Wattson is terribly sweet and is loving the human attention. He is extremely good with the other dogs and the cats and did very well on the two-hour car ride here. We don't know about house training and until we can update with that information, we want to let you know there will likely be some work in that area and potty floor pads are always a good idea for these tiny dogs. This funny little guy is absolutely sure that no matter what happens or where he is - life is just the best! He has a sunny disposition, and he does enjoy telling you how he feels in a very odd way - but not by barking. He really wants to talk to us and tries so hard. Wattson has something a bit off with his back legs, likely luxating patellas that are so common with these small breeds. He has probably been like this for a very long time and he manages to get around - it's just a bit different. He's delightful and we are SO glad he is with us and you will be too! He should be fine with children. The Adoption Fee for this dog is $_300.00_. Adoptions fees vary based on adoptability.
