Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This dog is being fostered in Charlotte until he can find his forever home.
No Phone Calls: Please fill out an application and email it back to us to be approved. This nice 8 month to just over a year old boy will be a great companion for someone to love as long as you are willing to work on house training issues. We suggest a securely fenced yard as he is a very active, happy, happy cocker boy. He loves people, does well with other dogs and is a sweet boy.
My name is Rufus. I am a smaller blonde, very active Cocker Spaniel boy with a natural tail that was never docked. The shelter told these folks that I am about 2 years old, but the rescue vet says I am only about 8 months to just over a year old by looking at my teeth. I was found as a stray wondering the streets by a good Samaritan who was driving here in NC. To keep me safe, I was taken to a local shelter to see if my owner was looking for me. After several days of being on hold and no owner showed up, the staff asked for rescue help.
I am heartworm negative, updated on shots and I am now neutered. I am a very active, friendly, loving cocker boy. At the shelter I was in a temporary foster home where I did well with a poodle and an 8 year old child, so a family with children 8 and older is okay. I will need a home where I can get lots and lots of love and attention and I will do well with an active family who would love a nice companion with a great disposition. I will need your help with house training, I guess the folks in my past just didn't teach me or maybe I was kept outside. This said, please give me time to adjust to a new environment and be willing to help me with my house training issues. To help me with this issue a foster home opened up and they will start working with me to help me adjust better to a forever home. I will be a wonderful companion for you to love. A fenced yard is suggested because I am a happy, very busy youngster. If not, you will always need to keep me on a leash hooked to a harness when I go outside so that I don't get loose. I will be a great addition to your family and I will do well with a playful doggie companion who can be my pal. I am a loving, playful, active guy who would enjoy being your new best friend and indoor house companion. I like to be held and loved on, I do well at the vet and I am a good boy when taken to a groomer. One big added plus is a fenced yard to keep me safe when I am put outside to play and do my business. Hang on tight, maybe you and I can be walking partners to get our exercise and explore the great outdoors. Please, please be patient with me on house training, I need to learn what is expected to be a good indoor dog.
My adoption fee is: $400. Please fill out an application to be approved.
Please send an email to: larrydonnacarp@aol.com for an adoption application to fill out and send back to us if you are interested. Our dogs are fully vetted and you will receive copies of all vetting papers while in our care if you are approved to adopt this dog.
