SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS - Cotton is a perfect dog! Not only is he adorable, but he is super sweet and very loving. Found as a stray and never claimed, we were super happy to spring him from the shelter, get him groomed, provide him with veterinary care and help him to begin a new life. This little guy is quiet and calm and would be best suited to a home that is the same. We require a home without larger pets or small children, and because Cotton is a young dog, we are seeking a home with an adopter young enough to provide him a stable lifetime in a home with securely fenced yard for safe play time. We are looking hard to find a home with an adopter who is at home a good bit of each day, or who works from home. This young fellow thrives on consistent companionship! Fully grown at just 10 pounds, Cotton is a perfect size for most laps! He is in good health, neutered, microchipped, and fully vaccinated.
Our adoption process starts with your email to carerescue@aol.com or Adopt a Pet inquiry. After we receive it, we will email you our prescreening questionnaire. Your answers will help us determine that your home and lifestyle matches the needs of the dog and our adoption criteria. Once determined, we will set up a private meeting with you and the dog at a park near our private kennel just east of Richmond. After meeting the dog and determining that it matches your preferences for a pet, we will accept your application. A home visit by one of our trained volunteers is required for all adoptions, and we will speak with your vet to ensure that you are a responsible pet owner.
