Chirp! Chirp!  Hi!  I'm Cricket!  My foster mommy gave me that name because I'm no bigger than one.  I think that's funny, because crickets are really small.  Sometimes she calls me Princess, too, because I'm such a little diva.  I'm looking for a new home now that my owner went to a nursing home and her family didn't want me. 

I am current on all my shots and heartworm negative.  But I was told I am a "special" girl.  You see, a lot of us toy-sized dogs have heart conditions.  I was diagnosed in Nov 2010 with Pulmonary Valve Dysplasia.  My foster mommy tells me there's no surgery and I guess I don't have any symptoms, so I don't need any medication right now.  But I will need someone who understands that I can't get overly excited a lot, stressed out or anything like that.  I need a quiet home. 

My foster mommy calls me a "pocket pet."  I don't know how to walk on a leash and I'm not reliably house-trained, so I could REALLY use a fenced-yard.  I've gotten really good about going potty outside, but I still have accidents.  Hopefully I'll get the hang of it, but just in case- you need to know.

Because of my heart condition, I'm not allowed to do a lot of traveling, so people who live within a two-hour's drive of Rockford, IL will only be considered.  I really don't like to ride in the car, I get really stressed out.  If you're not close enough to adopt me, please consider the LOTS of other eskies who need homes, too! 

If you're interested in me and would like more information, please contact Deborah: deborah@eskierescuers.org. You can also visit our website You can also visit our website and sign-up to fill out an adoption application and learn more about our adoption process. Thank you and WOOF! CRICKET

Good with Dogs

Special Needs: Pulmonary Valve Dysplasia

Whenever possible Eskie Rescuers United tries to adopt out its dogs locally (or at least to adopters in adjoining states to where I'm being fostered). Please note that ERU processes LOCAL adoption applications before considering those from out of state.

If I'm not local to you, as explained above, and you really have your heart set on me, you will have to make special arrangements so ERU can get me to you safely (for example, flying me to you at your own expense, or paying a transport group to drive me to you). Note: We may ask that you to make a donation to cover transport costs if the distance is great and we have trouble finding transport drivers.

There is an adoption fee required; and, please be aware, Eskie Rescuers United will not adopt out its dogs as outdoor dogs.

Eskie Rescuers United American Eskimo Dog Rescue, Inc. is an IRS-approved 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Please click the donation button below to make a tax-deductible donation through PayPal and help make a difference to even one American Eskimo dog!
