NAME:  Amber
BREED:  Terrier mix
SEX:  female
COLOR:  tan
AGE:  4 yrs as of Jan 2023
WEIGHT:  9.5 lbs


FOSTERED BY:
LOCATED IN:  Arcadia


NOTES FROM FOSTER FAMILY:

Amber came to us after living outside as a street dog and was very fearful. A family was trying to befriend/rescue her, but before she could be rescued, she was attacked by a large dog. She luckily survived the attack. She will need a patient home and a fenced yard and would do well in a house with a small dog. After being at the rescue for a bit, Amber has grown much fonder of people and is very playful once she gets to know and trust you. She has met large dogs before but is still very timid around them and would prefer a home without one. Amber is an absolute sweetheart and enjoys playing with her friends when she’s outside; she would make a great addition to your family. Once she finds her forever family, she will have loads of kisses and cuddles in store, but now she is waiting for the perfect human family to come along.

AMBER IS A MIX AND WOULD NOT BE GOOD FOR SOMEONE THAT IS LOOKING FOR A NON-SHEDDING DOG OR THAT HAS DOG ALLERGIES.

Due to COVID-19 we are a little more limited on volunteers and the availability (and safety) of home visits.   Local applications are given first priority and some out of town areas will not be able to be processed.

At this time, we will only be able to process applications that have an excellent current vet history.  If you haven’t had a pet or verifiable vet history we will not be able to process your application.

Their adoption process

1.

Submit Application

Filling out an ONLINE ADOPTION APPLICATION is the first step in adopting a new furry family member.

2.

Home Check

Once your application is received, it will be forwarded to a volunteer to set up a home visit and check your references.

3.

Meet the Pet

Once you are approved, you will be invited to meet the dog at a date and time convenient to the foster family or at an adoption event.

Additional adoption info

Adopting a pet is a lifetime commitment and is a responsibility that should be taken very seriously. Our dogs may have been lost, abandoned, abused or surrendered by a previous family and may require time to adjust to a new home. Many times there will be more than one application for a dog but we strive to match each dog with the most appropriate family. At this time, adoptions are limited to within the state of Florida.

Our goal is to place healthy, well-adjusted dogs. All of our dogs are vet checked including spayed or neutered; heartworm tested (placed on preventative if negative and treatment started if positive); up to date on vaccinations; bloodwork; urinalysis; dewormed and provided with any other medical care necessary. Our dogs are also microchipped for permanent identification. Our adoption donation, which is normally $300.00 for adults and $400.00 for puppies, is to help offset these veterinary expenses. Our adoption contract allows for a dog to be returned within 7 calendar days for a full refund; otherwise, all donations are non-refundable after that time. If for any reason you decide you no longer can keep your adopted dog, the dog MUST be returned to Canine Castaways.

More about this rescue

Canine Castaways, Inc. is a non-profit, all volunteer organization dedicated to rescuing dogs in need, rehabilitating if necessary, and then adopting to approved homes where they will be loved as part of a family while also encouraging responsible pet care and striving to increase awareness of the consequences of pet overpopulation through educational programs and materials. We do not operate from a shelter but rather a network of foster homes in different areas of the state so it may not always be possible for you to meet more than one of our dogs at a time. While this can be frustrating for a prospective adopter, the foster home setting allows us to better evaluate the dogs' temperaments and help them adjust to family life. We deal primarily with dogs under 30 pounds but will also take in larger dogs if a foster home is available.
