Description:
Who's that girl? It's Stiletto! Stiletto is estimated to be about 1.5 years old and is little miss personality. She has legs for days and is a goofy girl who always finds a way to make you smile. She is the perfect mix of playful and sweet and can't wait to find her fur-ever family. Stiletto weighs about 8lbs, but is a little underweight and needs to gain more weight. Stiletto came to us from a local shelter after she was found wandering the streets as a stray. She was never claimed by an owner and was very stressed at the shelter with all the chaos. She has been thriving in foster care and has shown she is a mellow gal once away from the craziness. Stiletto is a true lovebug who loves cuddles and being with her people. She will never turn down an opportunity to snuggle up with her foster parents. She enjoys her daily walks and has just enough energy to encourage you to get out and about every day. She is very food-motivated and needs a family committed to continuing her training. She is a well-mannered girl but doesn't seem to have been taught basic commands yet. Stiletto loves other small dogs and became instant BFFs with her foster brother. She can sometimes get intimidated by large dogs but could do well with a slow introduction. We haven't seen Stiletto around cats, but she could do well with a slow introduction and proper supervision. Stiletto could do well with a family with kids 10 years and older. Stiletto has been doing very well with her housetraining, but her new family should be patient with her while she is adjusting to a new routine and environment and expect a few accidents at first. She has been doing well being crated and does well in her crate when home alone and overnight. Stiletto has mild luxating patellas in both knees. She hasn't shown to be in any pain and doesn't require any treatment at this time. She may need joint support as she ages but is a happy and healthy girl now. Stiletto is such a happy and loving girl and she deserves a family just as great as her. If you think that might just be you, submit an adoption application today! Stiletto's adoption fee is $250.
