Shrinky Dink would like the record to show that her adopter had the audacity to take a SHOWER without her or leave to check her mail for 5 minutes. Shrinky voiced her objection at full volume shreaks. 😂
Long story short, at full fault of Shrinky Dink, she was weclomed back to foster care last night. She’s doing well and is available for adoption again.
This is actually sad for her adotper who is heartbroken and who we FULLY SUPPORT. Our hearts are with her 1000%. She had already fallen in love with Shrinky. Please know that this decision was made together because this is a shared wall, apartment situation with neighbors involved.
While going through heartworm treatment, Shrinky had two dog best friends keeping her company in a single-family foster home in a quiet neiigborhood. Moving to a noisier, urban apartment with no other dogs was a bigger adjustment than any of us expected.
While her adopter works from home, even those few minutes apart were hard on Shrinky. And when you share walls, giving a dog time to settle in gets a little more complicated when it's VOCAL and you share walls.
So, with the benefit of Shrinky’s very loud feedback, we know what she needs in her next home: at least one other dog and no shared walls. We’ve seen how happy she is with dog friends, and we want her to have time to settle in at her own pace.
If that sounds like your home and you’d love a sweet little Chihuahua who takes who loves all dogs big and small. She may adjust just fine if she has dog buddies, but if it's not a smooth transition, we at least need to know that her new home has space from neighbors to giver her some time to adjust ❤️
To her adopter, we really think you have an amazing heart and home to offer... we have dogs in mind for you when your heart heals from this. We are truly sorry this didn't work out.

And this little romance is doing Waylon a world of good.
Waylon came to us after his person passed away, from a situation where he hadn’t been getting the human attention and interaction he needed. Since meeting Olive, we’ve seen more and more of his sweet personality come through.
She has helped bring out the best in him, and the two have become incredibly close.
Waylon loves other cats, so a home with feline friends would make him very happy — and if that home happened to have room for his girlfriend too, even better. ❤️
Come meet Olive and Waylon at PetSmart Mueller and see if this love story has room for you. PetSmart Charities PetSmart
(Behind these star crossed lovers is little Oakley, who entered our care with Olive. Oakley is best friends with a handsome orange tabby named Lou - the four of them get along great! Com meet them all!)

New Hope Animal Rescue is at Petco.
Shrinky was adopted! But before she went home with her new mom, she modeled the merchandise at Petco and went home with some new winter jumpers! (Scroll the photos for her at home fashion show).
But Shrinky’s road to this happy ending was longer than it should have been. ❤️
When she entered our rescue, she tested positive for heartworms.
That meant months of treatment before she could safely move forward with adoption. Shrinky completed the American Heartworm Society-recommended three-injection treatment protocol, along with medications, monitoring and strict activity restriction.
Heartworm disease is serious but treatment is difficult too — the injections are painful, and dogs must remain very calm while the worms die and their bodies break them down.
And the frustrating part? Heartworm disease is largely preventable. Year-round, monthly prevention is far easier, safer and less expensive than treating an established infection.
Please keep your dogs on veterinarian-recommended heartworm prevention and test them as your veterinarian advises.
Shrinky made it through treatment, and now she gets to spend her days exactly where she wants to be — right next to her mom.
A big thank you to her adopter for scooping up this sweet pup and for chasing adoption! Thank you to her fosters Rosemary and Mick for safely caring for her through the long Heartworm treatment. And thank you the Petco Staff for helping us send her off in style! Petco Petco Love
