**Please scroll down and read the entire bio before emailing with questions. We will not respond to emails that ask questions already in the bio of the pet or generic questions of 'how old is it?', 'can I get more information?', 'oh it's so cute', etc. You must fill out an application in order to schedule an appointment. **Here is a link to our online application https://almosthomenm.rescueivey.com/apply/adopt The application can also be found and downloaded from our main website https://almosthomenm.org/available-for-adoption Once you have filled out an application please watch your emails to schedule an appointment. We typically respond within 24 hours if you do not hear from us after completing the application please send us an email adopt@almosthmenm.org Approximate DOB 2/24/2024 – 13 lbs History: The momma and her 4 babies were surrendered to the local shelter as strays. Momma was very protective of her puppies and threatening to bite so they requested rescue. We agreed and momma has shown what a sweet girl she is and the babies have thrived and are now ready to find their happily ever afters. Momma is Lola and babies are Locket, Curio, Trinket, and Bauble. Current Behavior: Very smart, independent but loving, very very sweet and learning to play with toys. Lola was very protective of her puppies at the shelter- growling, threatening- but never actually bit anyone. She took a few days to get to know me and now loves nothing more than sitting in my lap all the time. She has met some volunteers and family and is warming up to strangers better but she is still one of those dogs who doesn't trust strangers easily. She is learning to have fun and play with toys and she loves guarding the yard against anything and anyone. Housetraining- perfect with a dog door and has learned not to go potty in the house and is on a schedule. She is also crate trained. Her ideal home is loving, active, and can give her lots of attention and outdoor activities but give her some space and treats to get to bond. She will do best with older children who can give her space until she gets to know them. However, she would do best in a home with no small children. She is such an amazing little girl full of energy and love. She follows me around like a tiny shadow always wanting to keep an eye on me. When we relax she sits in my lap and just enjoys her ears and back being pet. She has met several dogs here and is not a fan- so will do best as a one and only. She is a sweet girl who just wants love and her own family who won't let her end up in the situation she was found in - she was so matted they had to sedate her just to give her some relief. She will need a lot of future grooming so if you are not prepared to pay a groomer every 4-6 weeks then I do not recommend getting her. Spayed, microchipped, and current on all vaccinations Adoption Fee $250 We do welcome out-of-state adoptions. Adopters must make arrangements to come out to meet and complete the adoption.
