Here's what the humans have to say about me:
**PLEASE BE SURE YOU ARE READY TO ADOPT WHEN REQUESTING AN APPLICATION!!**
9-9-25: "My brother got his new home/family already, and while I am happy for him, I can't help but be a little sad for me, as no one is asking to meet me. You will love me once you meet me! Please contact the rescue so we can make that happen!"
8-19-25: "Hello everyone, my name is SHERLOCK, and I am going to tell you all about me! I came to this great rescue when my Foster Mom got the plea from the local County Shelter to possibly take my brother and me in. You see, we ended up at the shelter when our owner surrendered us, due to less than desirable living conditions in our home. I was just 1 of about 39 other dogs, and we all ended up at the shelter. Now, I am the handsomest Chihuahua mix you will find, and I weigh in at 12 pounds, am about 5 years old, neutered, micro chipped, HW negative and had all my vaccines! I do love other dogs, and to explore/play outside, so a fenced yard would be perfect for me! Mom does not know how I would be with cats or children, as there are none of those in my temporary home. My house and leash manners are great considering my previous life! My crate was wet the first morning with my new Mom, but in my defense, everything was new to me but going forward I have been dry!!"
"Well, I hope that I have intrigued you to want to meet me--I will be standoffish at first, but I do warm up after a short bit. So, please understand I may not take right to you, but trust me, once I feel safe and secure, I'm your pal! Let my Mom know if you have any questions, or would like an application to meet me!"
"Until we meet, have a PAWSome day!"
Love,
SHERLOCK

We ask all potential adopters to fill out an application for adoption which is sent to them as soon as an inquiry is received. The application is reviewed, and the applicant's vet reference is checked by phone. If the applicant does not have a good vet record, the application is denied. If the applicant is renting a home, we ask for his landlord's name and phone # and check to make certain the applicant is allowed to have a pet. If there are any concerns regarding the application, we bring them to the applicant's attention and ask for clarification. This is done before the applicant meets the pet. We then set up a meeting at a mutually convenient time and place. If the applicant wants the pet, we ask for a check made payable to CFAW at the time the applicant takes the pet. The adoption donation is held for 3-5 days during which the potential adopter can decide whether (or not) he wants to permanently adopt the pet. If he decides not to adopt and returns the pet to us, his check is returned at that time. There is also a Pet Adoption Contract which basically states that the adopter will take good care of the pet. This is signed by both parties.
