Loves Park, IL

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Not good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Mary is a sweet girl who was acquired in Stockton, CA in 2015 by my grandparents who is her owner. They have asked me to find her a new forever home as they are unable to provider her the proper care she needs. She loves belly rubs and running around outside. She is easily trainable and is very food motivated. She is in need of seeing a vet ASAP due to a possible UTI and hip issues. There is no adoption fee so that her new owner will give her the care that we are unable to provide. She does not get along with our other dog (who is almost 3 times her size to be fair) and they bicker constantly. However has been neutral with our cat even when he tries to swipe at her. Ideally she will go to an affectionate home that has the time for a loving senior dog in need of medical attention.
