WHIPPET

Description

[please note-there has been some Craigslist email issues lately. So check junk/spam folder for email responses, as Craigslist emails may end up there] Looking for a forever home for my sweet whippet. About Maximus: Maximus is a medium sized (39 lbs) neutered male, purebred whippet, who just turned 2 years old this month. He is fully grown at this size, and is microchipped. He is a beautiful boy, full of play and love, and is great with kids of all ages. Maximus is house trained, and is very quiet. He loves to play fetch, go for walks, and if you let him-he will be your second shadow. He absolutely loves his people and attention. He sleeps in his crate at night, and when I run small errands he will rest in his crate as well. Though please keep in mind, Maximus needs to be with someone who will not be leaving him at home alone often, as he will stress when your not around, and can scratch at his crate. Maximus NEEDS a home with a fully fenced backyard so he can run and play. Feeding Maximus: Maximus can be a picky eater with plain dry food. So I mix half a can of wet food with half dry, and periodically change his food so he does not get bored with it. If unfamiliar with the whippet breed, please understand they are an INDOOR dog only. They love cozy warm blankets and soft-cushy things to lounge on. They love to be spoiled:) So if you are not up to the task, this is not a good breed for you. Whippets are also a sight hound, so cats, and other small animals in the home will not work with him as he may want to chase them. The reason I am having to re-home Maximus is due to new changes at home. My mother and her service dog are now living with me, and Maximus is unable to adapt to her dog. Though we have gone to great lengths to try and make this work. Please know that Maximus means the world to me, so I will be choosy as to who gives him an amazing home. I want to make sure he goes to the best person/family suited for him. There is a re-homing fee of $100. If you feel you are a good fit for Maximus and can give him a loving home, please email me/reply to this ad. As noted above…. I am very prompt with checking my emails, so if you have not heard back from me, PLEASE check your spam/Junk folder as many Craigslist emails end up in there. Thank so much [ PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT ME FOR ANY OTHER REASON OTHER THAN EXPRESSING YOUR INTEREST IN GIVING MAXIMUS AN AMAZING HOME. NO PERSONAL OPINIONS OR SUGGESTIONS, ECT]
