Smidgen's Story...
Senior, Moderate Energy, No Small Children, Good With Other Small Dogs
Hello There, my name is Smidgen. I am a 14 year old, 12 pound female Lhasa Apso/Rat Terrier mix. How did an old gal like me end up in rescue you might ask? My mom lost her job and home so she could not care for me any longer. But don’t let my age fool you; I have some pep left in my step! I love short daily walks, car rides, and bone chewing. My dream adopters would take me on a couple of shorter walks a day, have a yard I can sniff around in, and take me for some outings now and then. I am a pretty quite gal, I do not bark much. I know it’s hard to think about adopting a senior because you worry that you will not have much time with me, but I promise to reward you with lots of tail wags and wiggles for giving me a great home for the time I have left. My adoption fee is $50 and includes recent blood work, my spay, a dental cleaning, micro chipping, and heart worm test. If you have room in your heart and home for a loveable senior like myself, please visit www.softplacetoland.org to fill out our online application.

About Our Rescue Group...
A Soft Place To Land, Inc. was founded in 2010 by two dog lovers and best friends. We are a small foster home-based rescue, so we do not have a shelter facility. As former breeders of English Springer Spaniels, we realized there were too many dogs out there without homes - why breed more dogs?! So we decided to rescue retired breeders so they would not be euthanized. Our hope is that eventually, through awareness of the plight of puppy mill dogs, more people will choose to adopt a pet instead of purchasing a pet through a pet store - making puppy mills a thing of the past!

We Serve the Following Cities, Towns, and/or Counties...
We prefer to adopt in the state of Colorado as our resources are limited and generally we are not able to perform home visits further away than 6 hours. The dogs we rescue are primarily retired commercial breeding dogs and we like to make sure the dog will be comfortable in your home before we complete the adoption. If the adopter lives further away, it is difficult to know how the dogs will react to the new environment. If there is a problem, we require that the dog be returned to the rescue to re-home and the distance to transport could be an issue. However, if you are willing to come meet the dog and are willing to send us pictures of your home, we will consider it. (In state applicants would be considered first if multiple applications were received on the same dog.)
