Please read the bio in its ENTIRETY. If you feel your family is a perfect match, please send an email to gateway4paws@gmail.com for additional information. Only complete & qualified applications will be considered or contacted for adoptions. We are a 100% foster-based rescue. Applications can be found on our website.
We do not allow shipping & do not transport. You must live within 350 miles from Maryville, IL & able to drive there for a meet and greet.
Dolores has been exceptionally sweet in her foster home; her family has spent some time working on basic training. She is very brave and rather shy. She needs time to be allowed to get used to her new surroundings, like seeing new things & meeting new people.
Dolores is comfortable with her canine foster siblings but is spooked easily with new or different things. She is trying very hard to be brave as she gets introduced so many new situations. She really looks to her foster canine siblings for ques on where to go & how to react. It isn't mandatory that another dog be in the home, but please understand that for training purposes, puppies like Dolores would do well with another canine companion.
Dolores hasn't gotten used to a leash, but her foster family is working on training. She will need a secure enclosure when she arrives at her new home. She doesn't need a big yard, just one big enough to go out and do her business. We may consider an x-pen area if it is secure enough, or a small yard area. It just needs to be secure & Dolores should NEVER EVER be left alone outside for any length of time.
House training is going well. Again, we want her to be set up for success, and that means having a physically secure area in the yard for her to be able to do her business. Her new family must be prepared to provide an environment where Dolores will have ample opportunities to continue being successful in her potty training. Changes in environment & her schedule means that new habits will have to be formed, and that takes a little bit of time.
You can find FAQ on our website regarding adopting. Please send us an email with your completed application if you think you'd be a good fit to adopt Dolores!
