Here's what the humans have to say about me:
To MEET Nia - fill out an application. Cut and paste this link into your web browser: www.welcomehomedogrescue.org/adoption/application-to-adopt-a-companion/
Apply to FOSTER: www.welcomehomedogrescue.org/how-you-can-help/foster/
Foster parents have the first option to adopt. We will provide all you need to foster.
Weight: 9 lbs
Age: A little over a year old
Personality: She is loving, sweet and playful.
Coat: Nia has very soft hair with a puppy cut. Her non-shedding coat will require regular grooming.
Training: She knows how to sit and wait.
Potty trained: She does her business both inside on pee pads or outside.
Health: She is very heathy. Vet exam showed no known health issues, other than a very mild ear infection in one ear when she first came from Korea. She has been treated with antibacterial wax in the ear.
History: She was rescued from a high kill shelter in S. Korea. We brought her to California to find a loving forever home since mixes are very difficult to get adopted in Korea.
Fostered in: Fullerton
Type of home: Since she is pushy with other dogs, she needs to get adopted by a family who has no other current dogs, but has training experience with dogs. She is not a good match with a family with other dogs. She can be playful and happy with other dogs, but she is not consistent.
Crate trained: Yes
Good with Dogs: Not consistently
Good with Kids: No, but her owner needs to train her to be gentle with kids. She is a little too rough with kids now. She seems to be afraid of them and will lunge, although she will take treats from their hands.
Good with Cats: No
Adoption fee (non-refundable): $300
All dogs are fully vetted, tested for heartworm, microchipped, and up to date with vaccinations.
Our adoption process looks like this:
1. Adoption application review by WHDR board
2. Adoption application approval
3. Meet and greet
4. Home safety check
5. Final approval and adoption finalized
Our volunteers, donors and adopters mean the world to us! Without you, we couldn't do what we do - saving the lives of abused, neglected and abandoned dogs and providing them with a loving forever home.
