Silly Telly is one lucky little boy!  He now has his very own forever family which includes two four-legged fur siblings!  Happy life little one!

Hi … my name is Telly! Please take a minute to read my entire bio to find out everything you need to know about me.  

If you think I might be the perfect pup for you, go to www.allamericanmuttrescue.org/forms and complete the adoption application online.

Have you ever seen a puppy so cute that you just had to have him?  Until you lived with him a bit and realized that puppies are more work than you can handle?  Well … that is the story of how Telly ended up at AAMR.  And we have to admit – he IS a cutie.  And he is a sweet boy.  And he does have a lot of energy.  And he really loves attention.  And he is sure he is the best watch dog/alarm ever. The only real issue we have seen with Telly is that he does guard his food from other dogs, so if you have other pets, you’ll need to feed them in separate places.  Telly will eat in his crate.  He did live with two other small dogs and that was the only behavior shared by his previous owner.

We know that Telly is not pure Pekingese, and we are not sure what he is mixed with, but whatever it is, it’s cute and happy!

Approximate age/birthdate:  Jan 15 2023

Weight/size:  20 lbs 

Housebroken:  YES (as long as you do your part and get him outside often)

Crate trained:  YES (though he will protest at first … treats help!)          

Personality:  curious, energetic, happy, vigilant (and vocal when he is on watchdog duty)

Energy level:  medium with bursts of puppy energy high

Fenced yard required?:   YES – definitely preferred so he can get outside and run off some energy in a safe area

Does he/she jump fences?  NO

Leash walk with manners:  Working on it.  More practice will help him improve.  Seems he has never done a lot of walking on lead

Obedience training:  No, but he seems to learn quickly.  He would probably be a combination of ‘star’ and ‘class clown’ in an obedience class, but that would be great for structure and socialization.

Riding in vehicles:  RIDES OK   

Spayed/neutered:   YES

Up-to-date on routine vaccinations:   YES

Microchipped:   YES

Social with other dogs:  YES  … at least the ones he has lived with.  We are watching him closely as he meets new dogs

Social with cats:  Has not had close encounters with cats in foster care, but we’re pretty sure he would love to chase them if they ran from him.

Good with children:  Will probably be best with respectful, calm children ages 10 and up.  We don’t know what he is mixed with, but pekes are not noted for being tolerant of young children and their noise and activity levels.

Adoption donation: $250

We are an all-volunteer group, so please be patient and understand that it takes an average of 7-14 days to process the applications including reference checks, follow-up questions and home visits.  You can expedite the process by providing accurate email addresses for all your references.  Time to make phone calls is limited and we often have multiple applications in process.  We make every effort to move through them as quickly as possible.

When your application is approved, we will schedule a home visit/meet-and-greet to see if Telly picks you too.

If it seems that the adoption will be a good match for all, there is an adoption fee, and an adoption contract to be signed. Please feel free to email weluvpups@hotmail.com if you have additional questions.
