Chihuahua | Born: Jan 01, 1998 | Weight: 11 lbs. | Gender: Male
Pedro was rescued along with many other Chihuahuas from a very poor breeder in Oklahoma. The dogs lived in filthy cages in the basement. They never got out of the cages and never saw sunlight. Some of them were in serious medical condition. They are all recovering and learning that life can be good. Pedro was born in 1998. He weighs about 11 pounds. He is timid around people but will give kisses and play once he knows a person. He has been neutered and is current on health care. Pedro has a heart condition that is kept under control well with some inexpensive daily medication.
His Buddy, Monica Dorenkamp, from New York, NY, sent him this message: "Hi pedro! Now that your friend Mocassin has moved out, time for you to find a home too! I wish it could be in the big apple with me, but my cats kind of run things and they've voted "no dogs" for the time being. I say "Vote for Pedro!" but they don't listen. I know you'll find a home soon!" Pedro sends Monica and her lovely cats many grateful kisses.
His Buddy, Allison Hunter, from Beatrice, Nebraska, sent him this message: "Pedro, thanks for letting me hold you, even though you were scared. You are cute and sweet. I'll visit every month with hugs and love and sometimes treats. See you soon!" Pedro sends Allison many grateful kisses and thanks her very much for all the love she shows him when she visits.

Hearts United for Animals is a national no-kill shelter, sanctuary and animal welfare organization. Hearts United for Animals does long distance adoptions if there are safe flights and we have volunteers in the area to do a home visit. We require an application, references and a home visit to adopt one of our dogs. Our dogs are all spayed or neutered and are current on health care. We can cat test a dog if requested. If you are interested in adopting a dog, we can give you more information on each dog if you click the Adoption Info & Application link above. Buddies are people who support the dog and send them love while they are waiting for their new home. The dog does not live with the buddy.
