Here's what the humans have to say about me:
CHASE is about 8 months old, large breed, mix puppy. He is social with other dogs and would do well in a home with another younger dog as he has grown up accompanied by a puppy his age, with whom they play all day, every day. He has loads of energy and would need a very active family who would take him out for longer walks and runs. Chase weighs around 44 pounds. When found over 4 months ago he had lost his eyesight due to tick borne diseases. Since then his eyes have healed completely. Chase loves toys and will share his willingly. But no toy lasts long with this beautiful “velociraptor”, both plastic toys and fluffy, soft ones will be chewed into pieces in no time. That said, if left alone and bored, he will find something to chew up. Chase will need a family who will take time and show him manners. He is big and strong and when he gets exited, he becomes jumpy. He needs limits and he also needs leash and potty training. He is crate trained though. Chase would do well with kids but he doesn’t understand his strength and size and could accidentally push over a smaller child.
PLEASE NOTE: Breed mix info is the best guess of ScratchMyBelly and our vets. There is no way to know for certain what any dog's breed mix is without a DNA test.
Puppies will NOT be placed in homes in which they will be left alone for several hours, puppies need socialization and attention to grow up into an amazing well adjusted pet.
Sorry no kids under the age of 8 yrs old, we believe in teaching kids responsibility however we have seen too many cases of unsupervised kids dropping puppies on the floor resulting in bad breaks.
Homes with doggie doors will not be approved, sorry we are seeing a lot of problems with unsupervised animals and wild life.
We require a Home Check to set you & our Dog up for a successful transition into his/her furever home. This is only about the safety of the dog & in no way a judgement of you or your home. Our contract states that should you not want our Dog for ANY reason we will happily take our Dog back into our Rescue.
*WE NEED AN ADOPTION APPLICATION TO START THE PROCESS*
1. Submit Application
Go to our website www.scratchmybelly.org/forms. Your application is not a guarantee of placement, our process is not first come, first serve and we have the right to refuse the application. If you “rent” please make sure you check with your Landlord you can have a pet prior to submitting your application, many landlords have weight and/or breed restrictions.
2. Interview
We endeavor to make sure we are matching you with the right dog so a phone interview helps to insure we are all on the same page.
3. Meet the Pet
We can Meet n Greet at Home Check or you meet the foster. Every situation is different. We try to accommodate each on a personal level.
4. Home Check
We check for safety for the dog. We know our dogs well & can spot a potential problem quickly. We also call this a meet n greet.
5. Sign Adoption Contract
Contracts are signed the day of adoption, we accept PayPal to the Rescue Group & the Dog goes to his new home.
Due to the hundreds of inquires we cannot guarantee anything. ALL THE APPLICATIONS ARE SENT TO THE FOSTER FOR REVIEW. IF THE FOSTER CHOOSES YOUR HOME FOR A PUPPY, SHE WILL "CALL YOU" WITHIN FIVE DAYS OF RECEIVING YOUR APPLICATION. OTHERWISE, YOU WILL NOT HEAR FROM THE FOSTER.
It does not help us if you are sending us multiple emails, texts and calls.
We are a volunteer based rescue organization.
