Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Dear Forever Family,
Do you know what a Kelpie is? It’s meeee! I’m a Kelpie mix, and that means I’m super smart, a little stubborn, loyal and friendly. Basically, a bunch of awesome all wrapped up in a big eared dog.
I’m graduating from the PAWS program on 12/4, and I would love to find my forever home right away so that I can be settled in before Christmas comes! I want to make sure I’m HOME for Santa, you know?
I know all the good stuff- sit, shake, down, how to be a good girl on the leash, I am house and crate trained and I love other pups. Playtime is my favorite time.
I need a home with taller fences because rumor has it I’m a nosy girl and I might like to be nosy about what’s going on at the neighbors. I’ve been told that this is quite rude and not safe, but I just can’t help it! What if they’re having fun without me over there?
So, what do you say? Want to meet me after graduation?! Fill out an adoption application: www.viva-nm.org ASAP so we can make some plans. My adoption fee is $250 and that includes all my vet care and training I received in the program!
I cannot waaaaait to meet you!
Xoxo,
Echo
Viva! NM Rural Animal Rescue is a foster based rescue therefore we do not have a shelter facility. Meet & Greets can be arranged by appointment only or if the animal is at an adoption event. Our adoption process begins with an adoption application. Once the application is submitted and approved, Viva conducts a meet & greet, and then a home visit. Once the application, meet & greet & home visit are successfully completed we complete our adoptions with an adoption contract and payment of the adoption fee. Each contract includes a 10 day trial adoption period. We do NOT do out of state adoptions.
The adoption fee includes current vaccinations, Rabies vaccination, Spay/Neuter, heartworm test and Microchip.
