My personality

My story

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

Spike is a 8 pound Chihuahua, approximately 7 years old, current on vaccinations, neutered, microchipped, on heartworm and flea/tick prevention, just had a recent dental, and gets along with other small dogs (but would prefer to be the only pet in the home). He is a sweetheart, loves to snuggle, and is very loyal and protective of his family and home…typical Chihuahua personality so he needs someone who is familiar with the breed.
Adoption fee $300
Must live in Brevard County or within a 45 minute drive
Home check is required
Sorry no small children
Thank you for your interest in our dogs!

Their adoption process

1.
Submit Application

Request/submit an application. Once I receive it back, I will contact you to discuss a meet and greet/sleepover.

2.
Interview

If we feel its a good fit, I will allow him/her to stay for a sleepover, so you can spend more individual time together.

3.
Home Check

If sleepover goes well, adoptions are considered final after 48 hours. I will return for a final home check to collect adoption contract

4.
Sign Adoption Contract

I like to give them 1-2 weeks to settle in and get used to new routine before returning, so they are not confused

Additional adoption info

Hello! A little bit about our rescue... We pull dogs from shelters across the US and transport them here to us in Brevard County, FL. (We do not adopt our dogs outside of Brevard, as I do my own home checks and rechecks and limit my travels to up to 45 minutes each way.)
We dont do "quick adoptions". Meaning you can not simply come and pick up a dog and adopt him/her on the spot. It is a process of about 2-3 weeks, involving the application, initial home check/ sleepover and recheck. We do this to ensure it is a good fit for both you AND our dogs.
Adoption fees are collected at the time the dog is placed in the home for a sleepover. CASH ONLY, as we have had too many checks ‘bounce’ since Biden took over…
ADOPTIONS ARE CONSIDERED FINAL AFTER 48 hours and adoption fees will not be returned if you choose to keep the dog longer than the allowed 48 hour ‘trial period’.
I will return in 1-2 weeks for a final home check and to collect the adoption contract. I like to give the dogs time to adjust to their new home and routine before returning for rechecks. Otherwise, some dogs get confused and are not sure if they are staying or coming back with me. I want them to be secure in their new home and understand that is where they belong.
We do not adopt our dogs to families with small children (Sorry! But not all children are good with dogs and my dogs are my FIRST priority).
Request an adoption application - atxcw7@yahoo.com
Please specify which dog you are interested in, as well as the county in which you live, list any other pets in the home (breed, sex and age), and any children and their ages who live in the home.
Return to us via email and we will contact you to set up a meet and greet in your home when all family members can be present
Thank you!
