About this Dog
Look at this little nugget! Oh my, how far this young man has come since arriving from California! Teeter (aka Shasta) has gone from a frightened and untrusting pooch to a pup that wants nothing but love. Teeter was scared of crates… now he sleeps in one (however he would love to sleep with his human - and does so very well). Teeter wouldn’t allow us to use a leash. Now he sits and waits for me to attach his leash for our daily walks! Teeter is a great walker! He’s not a fan of young men, so it seems. But he gets along well with my husband! And our dog! He is a barker - so if you want to feel protected, he’s your guyMeet Shasta AKA Teeter!! This little guy has made progress since his arrival from the fires in California. He is house trained- but will not tell you if he has to go outside… we just take our potty breaks through the day. HE HATES the Cold. He is a snuggler and wants to sleep with his human. He barks and growls when he hears noises unfamiliar to him. He is attached to me - and now loves my husband. He is scared of attaching a leash to him - but allows me to do so when he is next to me. He has become quite a good walker on the leash! He would not walk in one originally. He loves treats and his belly to be rubbed. He gets along with our dog and chases our cats (which they hate). He is okay with the crate. I have to put him in it and reward with treats but he does fine!He is 3-5 years old and 12 pounds, a chihuahua mix!This little guy is so darn cute!

Adopt Shasta (Teeter) ~ and Receive Shasta (Teeter) ~'s Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Shasta (Teeter) ~'s new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Shasta (Teeter) ~'s current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Shasta (Teeter) ~, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Shasta (Teeter) ~'s contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Shasta (Teeter) ~ was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Shasta (Teeter) ~’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Shasta (Teeter) ~’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Shasta (Teeter) ~’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
