My story

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

Molly is a 3 year old 8 lbs Maltese who was previously used as a  breeder dog and recently lost the only family she had ever known.  This little girl is scared and doesn't understand what happened.

To adopt little Molly these are our MUST HAVES: (no exceptions)

1.  Fully fenced yard (privacy or chain link) she is small and could possibly fit between the rails on wrought iron fencing.

2.  Be home .. her previous owner doted on her and took her everywhere .. he was her world and she was his princess.  She wants that again and would do best as the only dog as she can be picky about her dog friends and if there is another dog they would need to be very chill and respectful of her personal space.

3.  Patience and lots of it.  We don't have a lot of background knowledge on her.  She is terrified of everything right now and needs time and space in a new home for her to be comfortable.  It will take her time to get used to a new place, new people and feel comfortable and this could take weeks or more.  If you need instant gratification, please don't apply.

We don't know about house training and she is doing better on leash but we still consider her a flight risk if she got loose.  She is spayed, heartworm negative, on preventions and current on vaccines.  She is not a fan of small children, they are scary to her and overwhelming, so 12 years old + if there are children in the home.

We know these are a lot of "must haves" but we are really trying to find her a new home where she has the best chance of being comfortable and finding that inner happiness that she had. She deserves that and that is what we are trying to accomplish for her.

So if you think you are the right person or family for Miss Molly, you will need to fill out the application on our website at www.safehaventn.com.  We will not adopt her out of state and adopters need to be within 2 hours of Cookeville, TN  Her adoption fee is $250.

Their adoption process

1.

Submit Application

First step in our process is to submit an application through our website. They are reviewed and we contact those who could be a good match

2.

Interview

Phone interview to get more information about you, your family and tell you more about the pup(s) you are interested in.

3.

Approve Application

Once we approve an application, we set the status of the pup to "Adoption Pending" and schedule a home visit and meet and greet.

4.

Home Check

We arrange a meet and greet and home visit if within distance. If all goes well we will finalize adoption at the end of this meeting.

Additional adoption info

Our adoption process starts with submitting an Adoption Application which can be found on our website at www.safehaventn.com. From there you will be contacted by one of our Adoption Coordinators. Our adoption donations are usually $150 for adult dogs and $200 - $300 for puppies - depending on the animal, breed, etc. We expect that our pets will live indoors, and will be adopted to families who have the desire to add another family member to their home. A vet reference is required.
