My story

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

We are located in Southern California but we adopt all over the map no matter what state you are in and will happily drive/fly to you if you are unable to come to us as long as transport is covered.

Meet Niko! He is a purebred yorkie. He is 4 years of age. He weighs right around the 7 lb mark, and yes he is fully grown and at a very healthy weight. He is neutered, micorchipped, current on all vaccines, and has been cleared by our vet to find a home all his own.

He is house trained, and has been introduced to pads if needed in his next home. He will go outside to use the restroom about 3 times a day. He is crate trained, and has no issue going into a crate if his new adopting family wishes to have him sleep there. He however, LOVES being in bed with his humans, so if you are looking for a snuggle buddy at bedtime, he will happily oblige. He is your true definition of a lap dog, and loves to be near his human as often as he can. We would love to find him a home where his new humans are either retired, or work from home, so that he can remain his happiest little self every day moving forward as he is HAPPIEST when they are around. He is a great traveling partner, so if you take any type of road trips, long or short, he sits in his booster seat and is always ready for wherever the road takes him even if just to run errands around town.

He is good with all the dogs we have here, big or small; but doesn't need to have dog friends in his new home as long as he has his person. He is also very good with cats, so that won't be an issue if you have any cat friends at home.

He is a very sweet, loving, beautiful little boy patiently waiting for a family to call his own again so if that's you reach out to us and tell us all about yourself, the home you would be providing, and your breed experience andd from there we will be in contact!

Their adoption process

1.

Interview

Since we adopt all over the US and Hawaii we are unable to visit all adopters homes due to distance, so we initially do phone interviews.

2.

Home Check

Due to us adopting all over the US and Hawaii we are unable to do in person home checks so we schedule FaceTime calls, request photos/videos

3.

Approve Application

We don't have "generic applications" but instead do phone interviews going over all questions needed to move forward with an adopting family

4.

Sign Adoption Contract

Due to distance, we will either handle contracts via email, or in person if we are able to meet in person.

5.

Pay Fee

Adoption fees are paid at time of adoption when the adopting pet is officially with the adopting family unless otherwise agreed upon.

6.

Take the Pet Home

Adoption is complete when all steps above are done.

Additional adoption info

Any additional questions please email us or visit our website at breadoflifek9refuge.org where you will learn all about who we are, the work we do, and our adoption process along with how our out of state adoptions work along with travel cost information.
