Nitro: 2/26/08: Nitro's new name fits him to a T. He's full of energy. Nitro streaks across the backyard like a rocket. He was rather quiet and shy at first, but it sure didn't take him long to overcome that. He has a wonderful personality and is just full of himself. Nitro was left homeless, through no fault of his own, when his owner passed away. All he wants and needs is a new home with someone to love him and play with him. Nitro has a very unusual coat color. He is black with some white hair mixed in here and there. If you look close, you can see some on his muzzle. He looks like he might be an older boy, but he isn't. Nitro is neutered, on heartworm preventive and current on his vaccinations. He is house trained and crate trained. We require that a home visit by a volunteer be done prior to adoption. The purpose of the home visit is to ensure that the information given during the adoption process is correct and that the home is the right match for the dog being adopted. The home visit also gives adopters a chance to ask questions about the adoption process. The adoption fee for Nitro is $225. This helps to offset his medical bills.

Please visit Tennessee Shar-pei Rescue for more information about adopting Nitro. As of 5/07/08, this rescue group has a total of 21 dogs available for adoption.
