Here's what the humans have to say about me:
If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website www.wiseanimalrescue.org/adoption-application!
*PLEASE READ BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH AN ADOPTION APPLICATION*
Due to factors beyond our control, transport costs for our Puppy Mill survivors are much higher than what we have been accustomed to - costs for health certificates and medical + transport for each dog with no allowances for shared crates. With these factors taken into account, as well as the care needs for all of the animals in our adoption program, we need to request a donation above our normal request. Depending which dog you are applying for, we are looking for adopters to support our program with a donation in the range of $450- $850 from each adopter. $250 of that donation will be used toward the cost of transport. We appreciate the understanding of our potential adopters. Please keep this in mind prior to applying.
- ONE application per household. We will only consider your family for one of our available puppies so please apply for only one.
Name: Tempest
Breed: Rat Terrier x Yorkie mix
Age: 12 weeks
Gender: female
Home Recommendation: Tempest is very young and is looking for an home who is home more often than not to spend time playing and training her. We'd prefer she go into a home with another adult dog to show her the ropes. She will be active as an adult so she will need a home that will be able to give her daily exercise!
Personality: Tempest is a social butterfly and brings the party wherever she goes! She is active and loves to play with people and other dogs. Rope and squeaky toys are her favorite! She loves to explore and go on adventures. After a long day of play, she will tucker out next to you on the couch for a nice long nap!
Kids: 10+ due to her small size
Dogs: Yes! She would love doggy friends who are small in size
Cats: Yes
Crate Trained: Working on it and doing well!
House Trained: Working on it and doing well! While she has the occasional accident, she uses the wee wee pads and is learning to go outside
Training: As she is very young, her forever home must be experienced and ready to put her through training so she can become the well-behaved adult we know she can be!
Why did she come to WISE? Puppy mills overbreed to the point where they produce more dogs than they can sell. Dogs like Tempest were rejected for reasons ranging from birth defects, being born with the wrong color fur or eyes, or just simply because no one wanted to purchase them. When the dogs are not sold, the puppy mills destroy them, and it is legal to do so. WISE has recently partnered with a group to save these unwanted dogs - healthy, unhealthy, and/or with birth defects - who are destined to be killed for no reason.
