My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Miss LULU! a spunky, determined senior lady that will conquer someone's heart!

LULU came to a high Kill shelter in Riverside County, CA some months ago. She was found stray and was possibly kept outside tethered or on a chain.
Her social skills were logically limited the way she had to live. So, we cannot blame her for that. While she is friendly with people, she is selective with dogs, and it will take a savvy person to navigate through progress that she has made and will continue to make.
But given that she is a senior, and her former life was cruel to her, ADR.org would recommend a home where she is the only dog - just to take the stress out.
MISS LULU is spayed, microchipped and up to date with vaccination and was fully vetted with full bloodwork.
She is an excellent walker, with no pull - unless of course she sees a squirrel (but which dog would not like to chase a critter like this). She loves her walks, and on Orcas Island ADR.org can offer LULU enough green space. Possibly you have a well fenced yard and are most of the time at home. LULU is crate trained and has no problem going in or spending "time-Out" time there and in the night - if needed.

She is a good eater, possibly with lesser hearing and would really look forward to more golden years- just in a different set up than in her former life.

If you think you would like to offer this lady a home, please send an email to: ADR@animaldefenserescue.org and tell us a bit about yourself.
MISS LULU is looking forward to hearing from you!

Their adoption process

1.

Submit Application

Adopter has to email: ADR@animaldefenserescue.org

2.

Interview

a 45-60min phone call will follow once the potential adopter has emailed the application back.

3.

Meet the Pet

People have to be willing to travel to Orcas Island, WA- an 90min drive from Seattle, and a 60min ferry drive.

Additional adoption info

Adopters will request an application by sending an email to : ADR@animalDefenserescue.org

Each prospective owner fills out an adoption application. All applicants must live in WA (exceptions are possible), and we ask that children in your home are at least ten years old. We usually have limited information of history of our rescue dogs and are therefore very careful about placing them in households with children.
We require that everyone in the immediate family, including your current dog (if you have one) come to the appointment to meet your potential new dog. Adopting a dog is a big family decision and requires a commitment from everyone.
At the appointment, we will help you assess whether the dog is a good match for you and family or not.


Before you bring your new dog home, you must sign an Adoption agreement with Animal Defense Rescue. In addition, a $ 375$ adoption fee is requested. The adoption donation is non-refundable.
Please remember that adoption contributions barely cover our expenses and only defray the costs. Additional donations are greatly appreciated and will help us continue our life-saving work.
Step 4: Post Adoption Follow Up
Our goal is to help you enjoy life with your new dog to the fullest extent possible. If issues arise, or you just need some good advice, we are happy to do follow-up counseling by telephone or in person. We can also suggest local dog trainers.

More about this rescue

AnimalDefense Rescue is a small non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing primarily dogs from high-kill shelters in mostly CA, as well as homeless, lost and abandoned animals in WA , and rehoming from owners who can no longer care for them for important reasons. By building and working with the rescued dogs at her home, the founder and president assures asessment, training and rehabilitation . ADR.org works with local veterinarians to make sure future adoption homes will have a clean and complete health record for the adopted dog, ADR.org finds well-matched, and carefully screened adopters and adoption homes to ensure the dog will NEVER be returned to a shelter again in his lifetime.
AnimalDefense Rescue will serve as a resource to pet owners by providing education and information on responsible pet ownership, including the importance of spay/neuter, positive behavior training, and good nutrition.
