Chichi is a 7-year-old Whippet mix who is originally from the Dominican Republic. She was found at a few weeks old and was raised in a rescue in the Dominican and was never really exposed to, or socialized with, many people. She arrived here when she was about a year and a half and was in a home for about 5 years. The family could not keep her as she was quite stressed out with the newborn infant in the home. She is so calm that she is practically like a cat and gets along with all animals.
She's very sweet, calm and loving but also nervous. Chichi can be in a home with or without with other animals. She is kind to dogs & cats. She will require a family that is patient and loving and understanding that she may never be a dog that runs up to you tail wagging to lick your face. But she is the sweetest little girl who deserves a wonderful family to appreciate her for the beautiful and good girl that she is. She absolutely requires a fully fenced yard as she is a fight risk.
Chichi is vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed and sterilized and will come with her medical booklet.
Sometimes a dog takes a little more time to open up, you may see them showing more and more of their personality over the course of the first few days, weeks or even months. We don’t know all that they’ve been through before they were rescued, but they are so forgiving and full of love and it’s worth every tough moment in the end. Developing a trusting relationship with your rescue dog is the most important thing. Stability, patience, positive reinforcement and love are the most important things!
Chichi c’est un mélange Whippet de 7 ans qui est arrivée de la République Dominicaine vers l’âge d’un an et demi. Elle a été retrouvée à l'âge de quelques semaines et a été élevée dans un refuge en République dominicaine. Elle n'a jamais été vraiment exposée, ni socialisée avec de nombreuses personnes. Elle a vécu dans un foyer pendant environ 5 ans. Sa famille n’a pas pu la garder en raison qu'elle était très stressée avec l’arrivée du nouveau-né à la maison. Elle si tranquille qu’elle est pratiquement un chat et s'entend bien avec tous les animaux.
Elle est très douce et affectueuse mais aussi nerveuse. Elle pourrait vivre dans un foyer avec ou sans autres animaux. Elle aura besoin d'une famille patiente, aimante et comprenant qu'elle ne sera peut-être jamais un chien qui court vers vous en remuant la queue pour vous lécher le visage. Chichi est délicate et elle mérite qu’une merveilleuse famille l’apprécie pour la belle et bonne fille qu’elle est. Elle a absolument besoin d'une cour entièrement clôturé car elle présente un risque de fuite.
Chichi est vaccinée, micropucée, vermifugée et stérilisée et viendra avec son livret médical.
Parfois un chien met un peu plus de temps à s'ouvrir, vous le verrez peut-être montrer de plus en plus sa personnalité au cours des premiers jours, semaines voire mois. Nous ne savons pas tout ce qu’ils ont vécu avant d’être secourus, mais ils sont tellement indulgents et pleins d’amour et chaque moment difficile en vaut finalement la peine. Développer une relation de confiance avec votre chien de sauvetage est la chose la plus importante. La stabilité, la patience, le renforcement positif et l’amour sont les choses les plus importantes.

We do regular follow ups and virtual home visits before the family meet the dog. :)

Go meet their pets
We are presently foster based so the meetings will take place where the dogs are being kept and that way the potential family can also discuss the good and bad habits of that dog to see if it's the right fit. The families need to be willing to work on a behaviour if it needs work and to provide the appropriate time and patience for the dog to accllimate to it's new home!

More about this rescue
We are a small shelter with lots of experience with dogs and rescuing. I worked for a larger shelter in the past but didn't always appreciate the way things were handled so I decided to branch out in a smaller scale but with all of the wonderful contacts and information that I've learned in the past decade + of doing rescue! Dogs are my passion and I would love to place as many as possible in their loving, furever homes!
