Chief was born around September 22, 2011 and weighs about 8 pounds.  Chief and his brother Odie are with us because his human passed away unexpectedly at a very young age.  We spoke with Chief and Odie's foster mom recently, and after some careful consideration, we've decided that they need to be adopted together. While we don't typically do this, we feel strongly that it's in the best interest of both dogs. They have a very strong bond, and separating them at this stage could be detrimental to their well-being. We understand this may present a unique adoption situation, but we're hopeful that these two deserving brothers will find the perfect home. Chief does well with all the other dogs here, and we have been told he is fine with cats and children.  Chief rides well in the car and walks nicely on a leash. Chief will also stick with you when you are outside doing chores.   You will have some potty training work to do but he has the basics down he just needs routine.  Chief received a much-needed dental on arrival and he has some age-related arthritis that would benefit from a Rimadyl type product from your vet.  He's rather active for a 13-year-old pup and gets around wonderfully!    Chief & Odie would like their next home to be their last.  A home that will cherish these boys for however long they have left and never let them feel heartbreak again.   The Adoption Fee for this dog is $250.00 Adoptions fees vary based on adoptability. In general our fees include spay/neuter, all age appropriate vaccines, Home Again micro-chipping & registration, worming & flea control - a "complete" pet. We accept CASH or Visa/Mastercard ONLY.    Joyful Rescues has no funding except for our adoption fees and miscellaneous donations. Pet care and vet bills are expensive - you must be ready to take on this financial (as well as emotional) responsibility. YOU MUST BE AT LEAST 25 YEARS OF AGE TO ADOPT A DOG FROM JOYFUL RESCUES   We keep our pet list as up-to-date as possible. As soon as a pet is adopted, it is removed from the list. If a pet is still showing, it is still available for adoption.   Can't Adopt Me?  SPONSOR ME Look for the Link "Special Instructions to Seller" if you want to note a particular pet
