About this Dog
Animal Profile: Aragorn is an estimated 2-year-old, 11 lb Chihuahua mix. He was rescued from Stanislaus Animal Services, where he was at risk for euthanasia due to space. Aragorn was nervous in the kennel, but was easily handled. He will do so much better outside of a noisy, stressful shelter. He was brought in with several other small Chihuahuas (Frodo and Pippin) and is dog friendly. Foster Update: Aragorn is a timid little cutie that is looking for a mellow home with another playful dog. Aragorn will need a patient and confident adopter who can show him the world is not so scary and provide the security he needs as he gains confidence. Aragorn needs a secure and quiet environment with a fully fenced yard; he does enjoy climbing trees so adopters should be mindful of their landscaping. He loves playing with the resident dogs in his foster home. We are only considering homes with another playful resident dog (or two) to help him feel comfortable. Aragorn uses the doggie door in his foster home and has been doing great going potty outside; no accidents inside. He loves being in his crate. He is wagging his tail, chewing on chew toys, and running around the house with the resident dogs. He still runs away from humans if we approach him, even with food or treats. He will sit next to us on the couch and let us pet him. Any potential adopter would, as we said, need to be very committed and very patient, and understand that he may never be a "people" dog. He's extremely sweet though, and would make a great companion for someone's lonely dog! Out in the world, Aragorn walks nicely on leash. Though uncertain about the environment, he will look to his foster humans for cues and confidence. He is nervous, but he did well walking through the Edmonds Farmer's Market. He's getting more relaxed around us and strangers. He loves his toys and collecting them in little piles, especially outside. He's great on the leash and in the car. He's really smart, having learned his temporary name and some other words without any particular training from us. He's still standoffish and prefers to be left to his own devices, or left to play with his foster brothers, but he's really sweet. He'll make a great companion for someone and their resident dog(s)! Adopter profile: experienced dog owner, resident dog (or two), fenced yard, no kids, willing to continue crate training. Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $550 which includes spay/neuter, core vaccinations per AVMA standards, heartworm test if applicable, microchip with registration, and health certificate.

Adopt Aragorn and Receive Aragorn'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, Aragorn's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Aragorn's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Aragorn, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Aragorn'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 Aragorn was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Aragorn’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Aragorn’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, Aragorn’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!
