Chinese Crested

I was thinking about posting about him myself! Very unusual to see that breed in a shelter, probably a pet store baby.

hey Jude...

Hey! That's the first time HSI has recieved a crested I believe. Mom and the other staff, vets included, were always on the lookout, but they never came in. Probably not a good sign if they start showing up in shelters more. This dog would be better off in breed rescue--Hairless Cresteds have special skin needs that require someone with research knowledge or experience which I'm sure no one at HSI has with the breed. They also wouldn't make a good shelter dog. I doubt that he'll be there long, and hopefully, he'll get adopted by someone who knows something about the breed--otherwise he could end up there again. He's beautiful with all those spots!!!! $400!!!!! Wow, that's pricey for a rescue.

Beautiful little baby! I hope he gets a good home, not just anyone would pay $400 for a doggie, so hopefully that person will be a big lover!

My person sister has a Chinese Crested so she called IHS and checked on that little boy and was told he has already been picked up by rescue/foster. What a cute little Crestie, but he looked miserable and lonely in that picture.I am so glad he "escaped."

Thanks for relaying that, Buster! I'm so glad he's in the care of a rescue that will understand his special needs.

The news is even better! When sis checked the message board, the little guy has a real, forever home. We wish the same for every pet.

Good news. We checked out his profile and he was really pretty.
