Story
NAME: NEKO CASE AGE/GENDER: DOB 2.1.19, Female BREED: RAT TERRIER/CHIHUAHUA TEMPERAMENT: Playful and mischievous WEIGHT: 8lbs and growing! HOUSE TRAINING: Good! CRATE TRAINING: Good! OTHER DOGS: Good! She currently lives with another small chihuahua and attends daycare regularly. CATS: Good! CHILDREN: Dog-respectful children, 8 and older. ADOPTION DONATION: $500.00 HEALTH: NEKO has a heart murmur, grade 4/6. Valvular Pulmonic Stenosis: Severe Subvalvular aortic stenosis; severe. Mitral & Pulmonic regurgitation and Ventricular Septal defect. This does not inhibit her in anyway when it comes to play and activity. She was seen by a cardiologist where an echocardiogram was done, showing that she does require surgery. We have been in contact with Oregon State and cannot do the surgery until she is 8 lbs. She is currently taking atenolol for this condition. UPDATE: Neko has had another echocardiogram and was scheduled for surgery in April, but she has now been put on a wait list until the COVID-19 situation rights itself. HISTORY: Motley Zoo Animal Rescue was asked to find Neko a great forever family when she was surrendered to a shelter. NOTES FROM FOSTER HOME: Neko is a super sweet little girl. She’s outgoing and affectionate. And too cute to boot! Prior to adoption, puppies will be altered, microchipped, flea treated, and dewormed. Puppies are given vaccination boosters in our care; however, adoptive families will be responsible for the remaining vaccinations that puppies need. Your adoption donation goes toward the cost of this vet care as well as transportation and general care costs. All dogs adopted from Motley Zoo come with a leash and either a Martingale collar or a harness, depending on each dog's particular needs. ABOUT MOTLEY ZOO: Motley Zoo Animal Rescue is a volunteer run, foster based, 501(c)(3) non-profit animal rescue organization based in Redmond, WA. Motley Zoo does not have a traditional shelter location, but instead, utilizes private foster homes which care for the animals individually, in a home environment, until a "furever" home is found. Motley Zoo also runs "Rock Star Treatment" Dog Daycare & Training Studio in Redmond, WA which is a day-use facility and does not hold kennels of adoptable animals. The dogs there are owned animals who come to the facility while their families are at work and school so they can play and socialize in a safe environment. We dub this service our "Year-round" fundraising program which helps us support our rescue animals and the $15,000/ month vet bills we incur. This Studio location does have an Adoptable Cat Lounge, where cats may live until adoption, which is the exception to any aforementioned rules. Please email adopt@motleyzoo.org and request an adoption application so we can get you started on the journey to finding a new, furry friend! Once you have been approved to adopt, then we can set up a meeting with the animal you have been matched with. For more information, please visit www.motleyzoo.org. Thank you for considering adopting a dog in need! Woof, The Motley Zoo Crew
