Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Dixie is a sweet, dainty little schnauzer girl with the biggest brown eyes. She has cropped ears, and a docked tail. Dixie is still shy, but gaining confidence daily. She likes being petted on her terms, and is edging towards being a true lap dog. Her foster mom has been doing clicker training with her, and she learns very quickly. Within a short time, she learned to sit, come, sit up, and is working on shake hands. Dixie definitely has schnauzer smarts. She loves her fur companion, and will need another dog in her new home to keep her company, and help her learn the ropes. Dixie is crate and house trained. Her foster can update you on her progress when you apply to adopt. With love and patience, Ms. Dixie will be a great companion--perhaps for you?
Dixie weighs 12 lbs, is silver in color, and 2 years young. Her adoption fee is $325, and includes a dental and all of our vetting, below. Dixie is being fostered by Haldis and family in Erie, PA. Not all our dogs are totally house trained at the time of adoption. We crate train them or potty pad train and work on potty skills. When your application is approved, you will speak with the foster Mom and can get more information about how far along the foster dog is in potty and social skills. Dogs learn quickly, and most are pretty far along or trained by the time of adoption. However, you should always expect some adjustment when moving a dog to a new home. Adopters must be prepared to continue training and socialization after adoption.
Dixie has been examined by our vet, has had a 5/1 annual shot, kennel cough vaccine, a rabies shot and tag, has been dewormed, heartworm tested and passed, and has been spayed or neutered before adoption. Our rescues are on flea/tick and heartworm monthly preventatives in season. We also do a dental if our vet deems it necessary, which is included in our adoption fee. Our adoption fee covers all vetting expenses, and a small donation to cover the dogs' food and care.
You will receive a lifetime prepaid microchip registration, and a 60-day limited trial for pet insurance from a third party. We send your new dog home with a copy of all vet paperwork, adoption papers, a small bag of the dog food they have been eating, and information on taking care of the dog. Also included is a health folder for your vet, and notes from our foster mom on the dog's schedule, habits and socialization skills. We also have a Facebook page for our adopters, and we have a volunteer who can answer questions on training your new pet.
Please note: Some of our dogs need a fenced in yard, and this is specified where required. If you do not have a fenced in yard, we require that you purchase an exercise pen so the dog can be safe when outside. These are available online for less than $60, and you must bring proof of purchase to your adoption appointment. Most of our dogs are small, and cannot be tied out.
We adopt our rescue dogs to adopters in Ohio and some other states within driving distance of the foster family. We do NOT ship our dogs--the adoptive parents must meet the dog at the foster's home. This will give the adoptive family a chance to meet the dog before they adopt. Our dogs are fostered in NE Ohio and surrounding areas. Please make sure you are willing to drive to pick up the dog within 2 weeks of being approved, and check the distance to the foster home per the location above.
Please visit our website www.ronsrescuedrascals.org to learn more about our adoption procedures and policies. From there you can also submit an adoption application, meet our volunteers and benefit from the 9+ years of rescue experience of our all-volunteer, non-profit rescue!
