Say Hello to Archie!
Archie is a wonderful 1 1/2-year-old pup currently searching for his very unique forever family.
Archie is a special needs dog who is visually impaired; he has no sight in one eye and very limited sight in the other. However, he has successfully navigated his world since birth, and his limited vision hasn’t slowed him down one bit. While he may bark if he is unsure of where his person is, a soft voice and a moment in your arms helps him orient himself.
Archie is incredibly playful and loves to run in the yard once he is familiar with the perimeter. Because of this, a fenced yard is a requirement for his new home. Once he finds your lap, he is a world-class cuddler who is generous with his kisses and loves to be caressed. He currently enjoys playing with his foster dog and loves to shake his soft toys to entice others to chase him.
Archie has proven he would be excellent at blind dog agility classes, as he is always up for an adventure. He would do best in a focused and determined household with children aged 10 years and older. Are you Archie’s forever home?
Your Next Steps
1. Complete an Adoption Application form.
2. Applicants are screened and reviewed together with the dog’s foster. If your application is selected, you will receive an invitation to meet with CHEW by video or phone call. If all looks like you are a good match for the dog, next comes the Meet & Greet.
3. Bring anyone who will live with the dog to the Meet & Greet, including any other dogs in the household. Typically, these meetings are held in a public park or pet store in Gig Harbor, WA.
4. CHEW’s adoption coordinator will conduct reference checks. CHEW will also conduct a home safety check.
5. If approved, you’ll meet again to sign the adoption paperwork, pay any fees, and take home your new furry friend!
Most of the dogs have been spayed or neutered (unless under the age of 6 months), vaccinated, checked for other health issues and microchipped. Adoption fee for Archie is $400.
