Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Sorry you missed her! Shelter management has cut off applications, as so many people wanted her. We are continually getting this breed in and we encourage you to sign up to be notified for the specific breed, age, etc., you are looking for in the “Search Saver” on www.1-800-save-a-pet.com. Please keep a watch on our website for more good dogs!
CARLIE - ID# A008220
CARLIE is a female, black and tan Smooth Coated Chihuahua. The shelter thinks she was about 5 months old when she arrived on May 11, 2007.
Pups need LOTS of time, patience, and love. If you have all 3, come visit Carlie. She is sweet, but needs all the regular puppy training. Read below for the training assistance we offer with all shelter dogs. No children under the age of 6 years in the household please.
Starting the adoption process you need to be 18 years or older, complete an application http://www.petprojectfoundation.org/dogadoption.pdf, be interviewed and it is strongly recommend all members of your household and any dogs you have at home must be brought in to socialize with the dog you wish to adopt in our play yard, to make the best match for everyone, and be able to verify with your landlord that you may have a pet if you are renting. Understand we reserve the right to deny the adoption of any pet for any reason. Also any additional requirements for the specific pet you are interested in adopting needs to be met. We adopt to the best home, not necessarily the first application turned in.
Applications are only accepted by FAX (949-366-4765), mail or in person. Sorry, no applications through the Internet.
Dog adoptions are $100 and include a microchip, spay or neuter, current shots, flea treatment if required, "New Owner" folder packed full of helpful information, and one free basic health examination within 5 days of adoption from a veterinarian on our list.
Our adopted dogs come with a SPECIAL BONUS of up to $80.00 toward training expenses within 6 months of adoption. We hope to provide a smooth and lasting transition into your household. Ask for complete details at the time you adopt your new companion dog.
Please call 949-492-1617 to check if your desired pet is still available or the status of your application. We are CLOSED Tuesdays. Wednesday: 10:00 AM - 7:00 PM. Monday, Thursday, Friday, & Saturday: 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM. Sunday: Noon - 3:00 PM. We are very proud of our shelter, it is clean, welcoming, freeway close, and voted "Best Place to Adopt" by the Orange Coast Magazine!
