Tramp, a 1 year old, man about town, silver/tan yorkie was recently rescued from the streets of a small Arkansas town. Everyone knew Tramp, as he wandered the streets, but no one knew who he belonged to. After diligently trying to find out who owned him, a good Samaritan, could stand it no longer, scooped him up and got him into rescue so he can, at long last, find a home of his own. Due to no one really taking care of him, he did test positive for heartworms and is now on the “slow kill” doxycycline protocol to take care of that problem. Tramp is on the larger size for a Yorkie, weighing in around 14 pounds. He is good on a leash, rides well in a car, and is very social, getting along well with everyone, both two and four legged acquaintances. Tramp is so ready to bond with his new family and become their best friend for life. Tramp has been neutered, microchipped and is up to date on vaccinations. His adoption donation is $350. A fenced yard is required. If you would like to adopt this spectacular little boy and give him a well-deserved, loving forever home of his own, please complete the first step in the adoption process by filling out an online adoption application.
You can find a copy of that application here.
An application does not obligate you to adopt from us, but it does show that you are serious about the adoption process. Please remember our organization is staffed completely by volunteers.
Please Note: All applications are processed in the order received, but an adoption is made to the best application received for each of our animals. All applicants must provide a vet reference on the adoption application. If you are adopting a dog from ARFA, a fenced in yard for the dog will be required. Home visits often occur with each adoption. ARFA has the right to deny adoption to any applicant for any reason without explanation. Please remember that the adoption donation is not for purchase of a dog, but rather to cover the medical cost of all dogs in our care.
THE FINE PRINT
1. Animal Rescue Fund Arkansas reserves the right to deny any application, for any reason without explanation to the applicant.
2. You understand that we often take many applications on the same animal and that they are processed in the order that they come in. An application is in no way a reservation for any animal or a guarantee that you will be selected to adopt the animal.
3. If your application Is approved, you will be asked to sign a separate adoption contract.
4. Once the trial period is over, usually 1 week unless there are special circumstances, the adoption donation cannot be returned to you for any reason. It will have been used to help rescue another homeless animal and is no longer available therefore, if you return the dog to us for any reason, you will not be refunded your donation.
5. If the animal you want to adopt is placed in another home, you can transfer your application to another A.R.F.A. animal without completing additional paperwork.
6. You understand that this is a rescued pet. We rarely have any information about their past life circumstances. We have all animals examined by a vet, brought up to date on shots, given their rabies vaccine, spayed/neutered (If old enough), wormed and checked for heartworms and if positive begin treatment. We do our best to ensure that we are placing healthy pets but can make no guarantee to the health or temperament of this pet, and vet expenses are the responsibility of the adoptive family from the date of the adoption. We require that you take the pet to a vet within one week of adoption for a check-up and to allow your vet to get a baseline for your new pet’s health.
