LULU Breed: longhair chihuahuha Age: 9 years Weight: 12 pounds Adoption Fee: $325 Vetting Status: spayed, microchipped, up-to-date on vaccines, dewormed, heartworm negative and maintained on preventatives ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ LULU is an energetic 9-year-old chihuahua mix who loves lounging with her people, when not busy securing her territory from intruders like those evil squirrels or dumb birds. If you’re looking for a dog that will be your constant companion, Lulu is the dog for you. She loves spending time with you, either at your feet or on your lap. She tolerates other dogs & even the occasional cat, but would rather be your only dog. Lap time & cuddles are a must. Large dogs or small humans are bleh & to be barked at until they go away. She is housetrained & OK on a leash, so an apartment would be acceptable to Lulu.... though she may make you carry her up any stairs (doesn't every princess?). If you think LULU is the dog for you, please fill out an adoption application today! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ LULU is available for adoption through K-9 Rescue of the Eastern Shore. An adoption process is required to include filling out an online adoption application available at the following link -- https://www.k9rescuees.org/info/adoption Veterinary and personal reference checks, and a home visit/meet-n-greet are required PRIOR to being approved to adopt. The time frame for completing this process depends largely on how quickly references respond, your vet office is able to speak to us (some want written permission first), your landlord or HOA (if applicable) confirms their approval for a pet, & how your schedule aligns with that of our volunteer(s) for the Home Visit. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PLEASE NOTE ~ All of our rescue members are volunteers with many obligations. While we may not be capable of immediate response, we will respond to all inquiries and application submissions as soon as possible. Thank you for thinking adoption!

Story
Introducing Tucker the Explorer! This wonderful boy is a loveable, cute, full of expressions dog looking to become someone's forever companion! He's very well trained - knowing how to stay in a crate, go potty outside, and even go through the doggy door! Tucker is a very chill and low energy dog who enjoys everyone. Sometimes Tucker experiences some anxiety when people leave him to go to work or run errands but that's about the extent of it. Tucker would do well in a household where there are other dogs around to bring out his playful side. Potential adopters should know that Tucker is a velcro dog and will be stuck to your side at all times during the day and night. He loves a good nap with his family! Tucker is currently heartworm positive and being treated, he will be ready for full adoption at the end of April. Don't wait, he will give you a wonderful buddy for LIFE :) Look in his eyes and ADOPT HIM!! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)

Story
Hi I'm Sadie! I am a very loving and sweet chihuahua mix when it comes to people. I am not so sweet and loving to other little dogs if they take away my time sitting on your lap or getting your attention. Then, I will try to scare them away because they are moving in on my territory. You see, when I come into your house, you are mine!! And I don't like sharing you with anyone with 4 legs!! So if you want to devote the rest of your life to my happiness and security, I will devote the rest of my life to keeping your lap warm, cleaning up things that drop on the floor, and will alert you to things that we may both need to know about! Like someone at the door! I am waiting for you!! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)

Maximus is a sweet loving chihuahua mix breed. We adopted him from the Fort Worth animal shelter while living in Texas. We have since moved and now reside in Maryland. We have had Max for about 4 years now, he will be 7 years old on April 15, 2024, sadly we cannot keep him at our new apartment complex. We are passionate about finding him a new loving home as he has been shown nothing but love and affection since living with us.

Story
DISCLOSURE: The adoptable pets in our program are still in the care and custody of owners who wish to re-home their pet. Owners have enlisted Rescue Well to provide marketing and screening of applicants as a service, free of charge. All fees and adoption conditions are determined by the owner. We advise that adopters do not send payment or deposits for pets prior to adopting.  ***** Marge is 2yo, weighs 15lbs, is spayed, is up to date on her vaccines, and is microchipped.  She graduated a basic obedience class in January 2024 and knows 'sit', 'stay', 'down', 'go to your bed', and 'touch'.  Marge's guardian adds:   "We have had marge for 6 months. The shelter did not know much about her past. She seems to have experienced trauma by her fearful/reactive behavior.  However, she is very special and sweet and we love her dearly so this has been a heartbreaking decision. She does pretty well with our other dog but it seems like she would prefer to be an only dog.  They coexist sometimes but get into scary fights and seem tense often. She is very afraid of new people but warms up quickly when the environment is calm and cozy.  New people should not attempt to pick her up or reach towards her as she will nip.  She HATES car rides more than anything.  Our vet recommended that she see a behaviorist alongside medication (She is currently on Prozac.), however we can't afford a behaviorist so we hope she can go to her forever home that will be able to afford to give her the care and stress free environment that she needs and deserves to find peace. She is happiest when she is in a quiet room, cuddled up with you or chasing her favorite ball.  She is a HUGE cuddle bug and will lay in your lap for hours.  She graduated a basic obedience class and is crate trained." Marge's guardian explains why she has made the difficult decision to rehome her:  Marge is VERY anxious and afraid of basically everything.  She's quite triggered by sound and will bark non stop. We live in an old apartment building where sound carries throughout the entire building, so its noisy (our neighbors can also hear HER, not great).  We've tried pretty much everything we can afford and nothing changes it, so unfortunately it feels like this environment isn't great for her and she would prefer to be an only dog with a mostly sedentary and calm person/family."   Bite/scratch incident:  On 13 March 2024, Marge bit and scratched her guardian's partner; the bite broke the skin, but animal control was not involved.  Mzrge's guardian explains:  "Our dogs were fighting and my partner reached to split it up and she redirected her bite at him.  No medical attention required." Marge's guardian offers a brief a medical history:  "She is on 10mg Prozac." Marge's guardian states the following regarding children:  Marge hasn't lived with children, and has never been around young children, but her guardian recommends her living with older children, stating "She has never been around young children but is unpredictable sometimes.  She LOVES our teenage niece and nephew and is incredibly gentle and kind with them". Marge's guardian states the following regarding dogs:  Although Marge lives with a dog, her guardian doesn't recommend her living with dogs, stating "Marge is unpredictable with other dogs.  Sometimes she is very excited, sometimes she's aggressive". Marge's guardian states the following regarding cats:  Marge hasn't lived with or otherwise been around cats, so her guardian doesn't recommend her living with cats. Marge's guardian describes her as: Couch potato Barks alot Playful Shy Likes to be touched Affectionate Fearful Always at your side Indoor dog Nervous House-Trained Crate-Trained                                                                                                        Likes men and women Marge's guardian describes her ideal future home: "Marge's ideal home is not an apartment.  It's quiet and calm with a fenced in yard for her to fetch her favorite ball in.  Her ideal family is one person or a couple who spends a decent amount of time at home.  She is happiest when she's cuddled up in your lap or under a blanket.  She also feels very safe in her crate. Ideally her forever home is able to invest in a behaviorist and her anxiety medication if these issues persist." Rehoming Fee:  $25 Location:  Baltimore, MD***** ADOPTION PROCESS  1.

PLEASE NOTE- AN APPLICATION FROM THE WEBSITE ALMOSTHOMEDOGS.ORG IS REQUIRED prior to any meet and greet. Calling, emailing and using the “contact us” link is not useful and will delay your consideration in the adoption of the dog. Petfinder inquires are not sent to us. Edgar and siblings are about 9 weeks old, just little babies and expected to stay pretty small. The sweetest things, very playful. Mama has the most incredible temperment, hoping she has passed it along. APPLY AT ALMOSTHOMEDOGS.ORG (click on the word "Adopt" at top of page to find the dropdown menu with application) The adoption fee is $425, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including age appropriate vaccinations, worming, flea/tick preventative and spay/neuter.

Adopters who choose to adopt a puppy that has not yet been spayed/neutered are subject to an additional deposit of $100 (refundable upon proof of spay/neuter prior to the contracted date.) Included in the adoption fee, the rescue will arrange spay/neuter by a partner vet at a predetermined appointment when the puppy is between 7-9 months of age. It is the responsibility of the adopter to bring the adopted puppy back to the rescue vet for spaying/neutering or, if they choose, to send verification from their own vet (at the adopter's own cost) that the puppy had been spayed/neutered. All of our dogs will be microchipped. Because our dogs are in foster homes, applications are required prior to setting up any appointments. Calling or emailing may delay your consideration.
