Razzle Dazzle is quite the handsome boy. He was at a shelter for some reason, was adopted, but brought back because he growled at the kids so he will not be considered for homes with children. He is the sweetest boy ever, 99.9% of the time, but he was not too pleased with our vet when he went in to get vaccinations shortly after being pulled from the shelter, so he did not have the best behavior there either. This could be due to his having had so much stress in his life for the past few weeks. His foster mom has no problems with him at all so we know that he will do quite well with someone that has experience with dogs. He is neutered now and no longer shows any tendency to mark. Razzle Dazzle weighed 16 pounds on 8/15/23. He is up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative and being kept on heartworm and flea and tick prevention to maintain his good health. He walks well on a leash, rides well in a car and gets along well with other dogs even though he is a little intimidated by them. Razzle Dazzle’s adoption donation is $250. A fenced yard is required. The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an online adoption application.
You can find a copy of that application here.
An application does not obligate you to adopt from us, but it does show that you are serious about the adoption process. Please remember our organization is staffed completely by volunteers.
Please Note: All applications are processed in the order received, but an adoption is made to the best application received for each of our animals. All applicants must provide a vet reference on the adoption application. If you are adopting a dog from ARFA, a fenced in yard for the dog will be required. Home visits often occur with each adoption. ARFA has the right to deny adoption to any applicant for any reason without explanation. Please remember that the adoption donation is not for purchase of a dog, but rather to cover the medical cost of all dogs in our care.
THE FINE PRINT
1. Animal Rescue Fund Arkansas reserves the right to deny any application, for any reason without explanation to the applicant.
2. You understand that we often take many applications on the same animal and that they are processed in the order that they come in. An application is in no way a reservation for any animal or a guarantee that you will be selected to adopt the animal.
3. If your application Is approved, you will be asked to sign a separate adoption contract.
4. Once the trial period is over, usually 1 week unless there are special circumstances, the adoption donation cannot be returned to you for any reason. It will have been used to help rescue another homeless animal and is no longer available therefore, if you return the dog to us for any reason, you will not be refunded your donation.
5. If the animal you want to adopt is placed in another home, you can transfer your application to another A.R.F.A. animal without completing additional paperwork.
6. You understand that this is a rescued pet. We rarely have any information about their past life circumstances. We have all animals examined by a vet, brought up to date on shots, given their rabies vaccine, spayed/neutered (If old enough), wormed and checked for heartworms and if positive begin treatment. We do our best to ensure that we are placing healthy pets but can make no guarantee to the health or temperament of this pet, and vet expenses are the responsibility of the adoptive family from the date of the adoption. We require that you take the pet to a vet within one week of adoption for a check-up and to allow your vet to get a baseline for your new pet’s health.
