Meet your New Best Friend at an Adoption Event near you! Pablo is thinking about coming to an adoption event near you very soon. If you’d like to learn more about this pup and their fluffy friends who are looking for their furever homes, check out our website: https://amazingdogs.org/available-dogs/ If you would like to reserve this doggie and have us bring them to the event of your choice for you to meet first, you can do so by paying a non-refundable deposit of $50 to our Venmo or Zelle account (619-918 2142 in the name of Amazing Dogs; pls indicate your telephone number). This deposit will go towards the adoption fee. After receipt of your deposit, we will confirm your reservation and list the doggie on our website as ‘Pending Adoption’. If you decide not to adopt one of our Amazing Dogs, the $50 is considered a compensation for the transportation costs. All our doggies come with their health record and have received all necessary medical care, which includes (but is not limited to) all vaccines, de-wormer, anti-flea/tick medication, microchip and of course spay/neuter surgery. Our adoption fee is $500. Only in California, the fee for babies under a year old is $600. Please consider this not as a price you pay for the doggie, but as a (tax-deductible) donation to our charity, so we can continue our work and take care of the 250+ dogs in our shelter. Read more about why we charge adoption fees here: https://amazingdogs.org/adoption-fees/ If you have any additional inquiries, please don't hesitate to reach out to us via call or text. We are excited to meet you at our upcoming adoption event! Contact before event: Sandra Garcia T (408) 477-0553. Contact at event or after adoption: Patrick Lepere T (619) 918-2142 Copy/paste this link to your browser to apply: https://amazingdogs.org/dog/pablo-2/

She has the perfect medium size which is unusual to find with a dog with wired hair. She has such a cute beard:) Beth has been around children, dogs and cats. Beth is crate trained as well and she loves her crate. Beth and sisters were kept in small spaces and with no food. They had a tough beginning but now they are ready to find their forever home. As with all rescued pets, we need to give them few days to adjust to their new environment - they all have a story behind them and sometimes we don't know what it is - therefore, the art of adopting a rescued pet is to change their lives and they need that special person/family to make it happen. The art and best asset to provide to a rescued creature is to understand them and work with them in changing their lives forever:) they will give you their unconditional and loyal love in return furrever:) Beth has a cute face with that unique wired hair that makes her look so cute!! Their donation adoption fee includes their 3 core puppy vaccines, spayed/neutered. And dewormed, and a free health check up through a local participating vet clinic is included in the adoption fee.

***Please read all the way down to the bottom so you can learn all about our sweet pet and about the requirements as well as the organization*** Hi!! My name is "Bruce" . I am very sweet boy if you give me the chance to get to know me. My current mama is pregnant again, expecting her 5 baby; and she is only 23 years old. She loves me but she wants me to find another home where I can get the time and love that I deserve. I have 4 other human brothers and a sister. The baby that is coming is another boy; and I talk to him when mama lets me hear him on her belly:) I get so excited, but I am very gentle when I get close to her. I am really good with kids; and with other dogs and cats:) At first I will be very afraid, as my human dad is not too nice with me, but once I know you are there to protect me and love me I will be the best buddy to you. If you have kids, I will very happy to play with them and hang out with them on the couch as you can see on my last picture here in my profile. I have the perfect size to be a medium to large size pup with a hypoallergenic, low shedding coat, as I have some wired hair of the Border terrier, some soft hair of the Labradoodle and the blue eyes of the husky or Australian Cattle. I am ready to give you love and go home with you - please review below for more details in how to meet me:) did I said I have beautiful blue eyes??? ....I do!!! :) He is currently being fostered with other dogs of all sizes; therefore, he will be great with a multi-family home with other pets. He is also very good with cats:) He will be great with a very active family, to take him along for walks, runs, hiking, camping, or just taking it easy and having a cup of coffee:) As a new family addition, he will need guidance as he gets a little shy in the 1st hours you meet him:) If you are ready for this commitment and open your heart to any of our adorable pups, please don't wait no longer. Please text at 619-576-0747 as 1st choice of contact or email veronica.aaofusa@gmail.com or visit our website at www.aaofus.org and complete our application at the following link: http://aaofus.org/adoption-application.html . Due to high volume of calls; NO PHONE calls are accepted at this time - therefore, please text us or email us.- Please do not leave voice messages - If approved, the adoption coordinator will reach out to you to schedule a Meet-and-Greet appointment. No appointments will be made unless we have received an application; therefore, we can match you with the best fit for you. Please check donation adoption fees below at our organization description. Follow us on Instagram @aaofus where you can see more pics. Please allow 48 hours to process applications and respond back to set up appointments. Unfortunately, responses back to those who do not qualify are not possible due to high volume of applications. Donation Adoption fee includes up-to-date his yearly DHLPP vaccinations, spaying or neutering, deworming, flea medication, and a complementary health check up by a participating clinic near you. Please consider adopting one (or more!) of these fur babies! *****A minute of conscious - Please read:) ***** We ask you Please to be SERIOUS adopters; as there have been so many people that are not ready. We set up meet & greet appointments, do a home visit or send them the address for some meet & greet locations, paperwork and suddenly they said they are not ready or spouse is not ready, etc. These fur kids have a very hard day the day of their appointment. Due to travelling we hold their food, so they won't get car sick. We bath them, some of them are schedule for grooming as you know it is stressful for them; then they have to travel with us picking up other rescued fur kids, and so on, it is a very stressful hard day for them for people to just cancel at last minute or not show up or do show up and just say they are not ready. Our time as well as your time is valuable. Please don't waste valuable time that is so precious for a rescued pet. Every single wasted time is a time that an animal will die because we didn't get to them on time to help them. In addition, of wasting gas and grooming fees which are paid by volunteers. Please take the time to put your shoes in the shoes of the volunteer and most of it to put your shoes on our rescued fur kids!! Please take a minute to tell yourself if you are ready to adopt and for this commitment. LIVE!! LOVE!! LAUGH!! ADOPT A RESCUED HOMELESS PET AND SAVE A LIFE!!

Story
Remember that HORRIBLE 100 degree, two week long heat wave? This beautiful, LOVING little doggy dragged himself into the open garage door of a wonderful family- and it SAVED HIS LIFE! He was dehydrated, starving, lost and just dragging! Fortunately, Dad was home and working in the garage. He quickly scooped the young Prince up, brought him inside to the cool air conditioning. The family worked hard to stablize the pup- rehydrate, fed, etc. After he recovered, they searched mightily for his home, placed hundreds of posters throughout the neighborhood, checked for microchip, took him to the shelter, etc, to no avail. They already have the maximum number of pets and, very reluctantly, asked us to find the PERFECT FUREVER home for this VERY GOOD DOGGY! This little terrier is calm, amazingly well behaved, LOVES to play with other dogs in his size range, LOVES people, LEARNS quickly, is HOUSETRAINED and is an ABSOLUTE DELIGHT! Are YOU the LUCKY FAMILY that might qualify to adopt this PRINCE OF NORWITCH??? The IDEAL home for Buddy will have: - one or more adults home throughout the day, (Retired/work at home folks preferred!) - a small, active, playful, trained companion doggy - experience raising and training small terriers - no small children at home ( well-behaved 12yo and up humans, please) - highly secure, fenced large yard - no coyotes or hawks or predators in the neighborhood Do YOU have a HUGE HEART and want everyone in your family to be LOVE LOVE LOVED all day long with the love that only tiny terriers can give? Do you have several of the above "ideal home" qualifications? Do you LOVE SNUGGLING with your doggy? QUICK! Send your phone number AND schedule the BEST TIME / DAY to have an adoption counselor to call you ASAP! We are anxious to place Buddy into his permanent FUREVER home before he bonds with this wonderful foster family! IF YOU ARE THE RIGHT FAMILY: LETS MAKE THIS HAPPEN ASAP! This Young Prince of Norwick has had enough hardship, he now deserves ony the BEST! IS THAT YOU?
