Please contact Constance (connibouchard@gmail.com) for more information about this pet.Rescued dogImportant Information Please read! If you are interested in me after reading about me, please visit my site, http://www.breederadoptions.org and follow the instructions. The majority of the dogs we rescue, mostly breeder dogs, have lived their entire lives in less-than-ideal conditions so will need to be socialized, house and leash trained. Most have never lived in a house, walked on a leash, had a treat or sat in a lap. For many of them, their feet have never touched the ground after living for years on wire until they arrive at our main facility where they are evaluated, groomed and given vet care. Most of these dogs are not socialized and need to be cornered to be picked up, so are not suitable for people with physical disabilities or suffer from PTSD. They need folks who will make them the center of their world and help them learn to trust before even attempting to train.  Please do not apply if you do not meet the requirements of the dogs we rescue.  However, they will learn with time, love, patience and most of all, commitment. You must have an ample supply of all of these to reap the rewards of watching these very special dogs become your wonderful companion. We state any known health issues, all are altered unless there is a medical reason not to, which we will advise, any known medical issues addressed, are microchipped, are UTD on all vaccines and have been checked out by at least one veterinarian, usually two. We do not guarantee the health of any of our rescued dogs. The dogs we rescue have lived with other dogs all of their lives and most get along with other dogs. We state if they are dog aggressive. We require a permanent, full-time parent. That means you must be able to spend the majority of your time with your new companion to socialize and train. We do not, under any circumstances, place them in homes with young children as they have not been exposed to children, and we do not know how they will react. Please do not waste your time or ours if you are not prepared to adopt within 2 weeks and you are not willing to pick the dog up at its location. Hi! My name is Misty, and I am a beautiful Maltipoo was born on 12/23/19, and I weigh 6.5 pounds. I am scared of people right now and will need a quiet/patient home with a socialized dog to help me learn all about this big, new world.  If you have been waiting for a small little lady, please ask for me on your application to http://www.breederadoptions.org.

Story
Meet Abby! Abby was found in rough shape. She had been seen for days running around. She would come out late at night until early morning looking for food. One of our volunteers tried all day to locate her and get her interested in the yummy food in our humane trap. Thankfully she walked in and she hasn't looked back since! First stop was the groomer! This girl was a mess. She went along with it until she had enough. She was not having her face done lol! Thankfully she was happy to go back again and get her face all trimmed up. Now she looks so cute! Her smile says it all! Abby loves playing with the other dogs in her foster home. She is very sweet but can be a bit shy at first. Abby is spayed, UTD on vaccines, microchipped, and 4DX (tick/heartworm test) negative. Abby is approximately years old and weighs 15.5 pounds. To meet Abby, please fill out the application https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/PAWP/Dog
