Story
This is Misha. She is a 7 to 8 year old Shih Tzu. Misha weighs 13 pounds but it would not hurt if she lost a pound! Misha came to us VERY neglected. 2 weeks earlier, we took in a dog from the same house Misha came from who was VERY neglected as well. Poor poor little dogs. Misha is very friendly and she has a great personality. We could tell that she would just love to curl up in your arms or on your lap. She is longing for that. She sure would be happy and you would be happy too! Misha is trained on a Wee-Wee Pad and also on a leash outside. Misha is one very nice little dog. In Misha's new home, children must be 6 years old or older. You MUST own your own home. You MUST own your own condo. Absolutely no apartments. Misha is spayed. She had her 2 vaccinations, she tested negative for heartworm and she had 2 teeth pulled. To adopt from us, you MUST have a veterinarian reference in your own name. We will not place any animal without a veterinarian reference. We get a veterinarian reference from your veterinarian which is a history of medical care administered by your veterinarian to your present or previous pet or pets. Please do not contact us if you cannot abide by our adoption rules. The adoption fee for Misha is $450.00. No credit cards. If you are interested in Misha, please email us at feline55keeper@gmail.com. You can meet Misha on Saturday at Petco located at 201 Union Street in Waterbury during our adoption hours from 12:00 to 2:45. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE STRESS THAT IN ORDER TO ADOPT FROM US, YOU MUST HAVE A VETERINARIAN REFERENCE...NO EXCEPTIONS!

After you submit your application please allow a few days for a volunteer to review your application. During this time your vet reference will be checked and a volunteer with determine if it is the best match for you and the animal. Applications are not approved on a first come, first serve basis. We match up the best home for the animal, so even if the pet has other applications, this does not mean he/she will be adopted to that home. Once your application has been approved a volunteer with contact you to set up a phone interview. This is the perfect time for you to ask any questions you have about the adoption process and the animal you are interested in.
