ADOPTED ON 12-20-14 - Macy was adopted from the pens, along with her sister, ironically, a rescue volunteer passed by the adoptive home (previously unaware of the adoptive location) and saw the two puppies playing beside a busy highway!!! She immediately pulled over, to find that nobody was outside supervising the pups! After a short conversation, Macy was surrendered to the volunteer on the spot. Macy is a female Chihuahua mix who is approximately 6lbs and 6 months old. She is spayed and up to date on all vaccinations and heartworm negative. Macy was picked up by animal control with her brother and sister on Sept 10, 2014. Macy has been in foster care down south since 10/18/14, she is scheduled to arrive in Connecticut on 11/15/14.
Macy is a bit reserved and the exact opposite of her brother Freddie. She is shy, cautious and submissive upon initially greeting, but once she has had a few minutes she will readily curl up in your lap. She is good with cats, and is currently in a foster home with a mother cat and two half grown kittens, she does not seem to notice they are even there. Macy has only been around a few other dogs besides her siblings and has done very well. She has been around a ten year old child and has been on supervised leash walks with children a few years younger and did very well. She was nervous in the car at first, but settled down once she was able to sit in someone's lap. She does okay in a crate, and "tries to hold it “until she is let out to potty. Macy is still working on perfecting her housetraining skills. Macy does excellent on leash.
Macy has a very low activity level and her ideal new home should be a quiet environment. She is a bit shy at first and approaches new experiences and people with caution, but it does not take her long at all to quickly become a snuggle buddy. Macy would do well in a home with cats and has done well with other dogs. It would be wonderful if she could be placed with her brother Freddie as she enjoys playing with him so much, but this is not a deal breaker. Another great thing about Macy is she will not eat you out of house and home. She is quite the little lady and only eats a little bit at a time. If her new home were to include children it is recommended that they be over the age of 10, as Macy is very tiny and fine boned. A small child may not understand how fragile she is and could unintentionally injure her when attempting to hold her. She would make a wonderful companion for and elderly person and would be perfectly content to curl up in their lap while they read the newspaper or while they watched afternoon soaps. Please fill out an application if you are interested in adopting Macy.

About Our Rescue
These dogs deserve all of our attention, and in Rescue Dog Village, we are committed to our adopters and our dogs equally. We offer full disclosure and hope to make the best matches possible. Please know our adoption fees never cover our expenses. We rely on the generosity of our adopters and supporters to help us help the dogs.
Our rescue is ONLY in the business of offering FULL DISCLOSURE to adopters, and expects and hopes to engage your questions and concerns fully. We owe it to the dogs we rescue and all the wonderful families/adopters who might consider welcoming our charges into their hearts and home. Our dogs are waiting for that ideal forever home where they will be cherished as deserving family members. It's sad these second chances are even necessary for these dogs, but we are committed to them and will devote the time and energy to their rehoming, and not just MOVE them to save more dogs. We diligently and responsibly seek good matches as we don't want to re-home the dog again. These animals have already endured more than they should have, and through no fault of their own. It behooves us to be honest and forthright, and we appreciate the same in return from applicants. It's that winning combination of reciprocal trust and respect that allows for successful placements to be made. Happy adopters translate to happy dogs, and that's our goal!
Our rescue volunteers will be more than honored to be in touch with you directly and promptly, after receiving your application and conducting a mandatory a veterinarian check. If you have never owned a dog before, please submit your application regardless, and we will be in touch with you as soon as possible. TAKE NOTE YOU SHOULD CHECK YOUR SPAM AS SOME RESPONSES FROM US WIND UP THERE WE'VE DISCOVERED. Also, take care to contact your veterinarian to let them know a member of rescue will be inquiring about your pet history!
Thank you for respecting that we all donate our time to saving these animals, and understand we value your philanthropic and compassionate desire to help be part of the rescue team. That said, you'll understand why we are committed to the well-being of our charges and consider this veterinarian check mandatory. If you are a first-time dog owner, we will work with you every step of the way! ADVOCACY AND EDUCATION ARE AS MUCH A PART OF RESPONSIBLE RESCUE AS ADOPTION! And it takes a RESCUE VILLAGE to help the most dogs possible in a thorough manner to ensure success on all fronts, and then some! It is an awful feeling to fail a dog, and we can't continue rescue if we don't do everything we can to ensure good matches for the dogs and tender families who might adopt them. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING.
Although we are an extremely small rescue group, we understand and respect your family's eagerness to be in touch and learn as much as you can about the dogs you are considering adopting. Our very experienced and devoted trainer will be happy to share all aspects of OUR RESCUE DOGS to determine compatibility once you've submitted your application, and another of our volunteers will explain the whole process of our rescue and answer any questions you might have as well
