ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://elmorehumane.org/adoption-application-online-form2.html . We respond via email to your apps so please make sure you have either added our email, hselco@bellsouth.net , to your contact list or that you check your SPAM folder for our response. If we do not receive a timely response we simply move on to another applicant. And please wait for our response as we schedule appointments to meet our pets. Below is info about our pet & adoption cost/detail information below that – please read all. PET DESCRIPTION: Chip is a five-year-old male Rat Terrier mix, about 15 lbs. He was surrendered to us for not getting along with another dog in the home and they said older children only, no children say under 10 years old. Now we have had Chip in our office with four other male dogs and only had one minor altercation between him and another dog smaller than him. They have all gotten along fine but we can tell Chip very much wants HIS person and is likely one that won't like to share his person with another dog so best as an only dog. He loves attention but does NOT like being picked up. And you absolutely must have a well-fenced yard as he is a runner and thinks playing keep-away is the best game in town. As he can be nervous at first until comfortable with you, if he were to get away from a new owner it is unlikely you could catch him. He is fine with the cats in our office. Can be a bit of a piranha when grabbing treats so another reason for no small children. He is actually very needy for attention. Does NOT do crating but no need as he was good in their house and also good in our office, even overnight. Chip does not kennel either - he really freaked out being in our kennels at first so why we brought him to our office so not a good candidate for someone who travels a lot needing to board him in a boarding kennel - he will be best at home with a pet sitter. DOG ADOPTION FEE is $100. This Adoption fee includes: mandatory spay/neuter which will be done before you can take your dog or puppy home with you; basic canine immunizations (DHPP-CPV & Bordatella Intranasal); de-wormings; one-year rabies vaccination if old enough; heartworm test if over five months old; microchip from 24-Pet Watch; certificate for free health examination at your participating veterinarian; and a goodie bag chocked full of information, toys, and more. (If a dog is sponsored or has a waived or lower fee, that info will be provided at the point of adoption to the approved adopter).
