Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi, my name is Alton Brown, but you can call me Alton for short. I am a well-behaved 2 year old, 13 lb Chihuahua. Not only am I crate trained and leash trained, but I can also use potty pads AND go outside. I am good with dogs, cats and OLDER kids. I would prefer a home with older kids because I am shy, sweet and loving. Also, since I love other doggies so much, I’d prefer to be in a home with another doggie.
Want to adopt me? Fill out our online adoption application by visiting our website: http://www.friendswithfourpaws.org/adoption-form.html
**Please note that our dogs may be located in foster homes around NJ and the NYC area. It would be a great help to us if you can pick up your dog from transport, (which is located in Astoria) or foster home.**
**PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR PHONE NUMBER IN YOUR INQUIRY** We put a lot of time and energy into processing our adoptions to find our babies the best fit home for them. Please do not submit an inquiry if you are not serious about adopting. We are so excited to work with you to find you a new forever friend, and appreciate you working with us. For immediate consideration, please attach your application to the initial inquiry to help us expedite the process.
Our adoption fee is $475. This includes their spay/neuter surgery, full (age appropriate) vaccinations, microchip insertion and registration, deworming, heartworm testing and prevention, flea and tick prevention and travel expenses.
All of our dogs are rescued from local shelters and the general public. Each dog is then placed in a foster home where he/she is kept for a minimum of 2 weeks for quarantine, to ensure if the dog gets sick it can receive proper treatment. After the 2 week quarantine time they are spayed/neutered and fully vetted. They are then placed on the website. We have foster homes in the NJ/NY area waiting to receive their fosters. Once an animal has received an application or there's an adopter interested, we make arrangements with the waiting foster to pick the animal up from transport. If a dog is already in foster care in NYC/NJ, an adopter will be put in touch with the foster home once an application is being processed.
Thank you in advance for your patience with our process and for making adoption YOUR option!
