Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
🐾 SASHA is a new owner surrender who came to us with 3 other littles and whose owner could no longer care for them. She's 3 years old and we've got her spayed and vetted, and now looking for her forever home. She's maybe some kind of shih tzu mix, an adorable little 9 lb pup! She's sweet and a little shy at first but is a lover once she's relaxes. 👉 Adoption fee INCLUDES: all vetting to age (including deworming, flea & tick etc), spay/neuter and microchip (if the dog is under 6 months, alter and chip will occur after they're 6 months, covered in full at our clinic or reimbursed partially at a vet of your choosing). If the dog is older than 6 months and not yet altered, we will schedule ASAP (normally within 30 days) at our clinic . We also provide as an incentive a $60 rebate for completion of positive-based training classes. Adoption also includes lifetime support of the rescue. 💜 Please click PURPLE BUTTON above to apply or go to www.secondhanddogrescue.com/apply ! ✍ APPLICATION PROCESSING: We do most application processing virtually and dog meets will be individually by appointment with ONLY APPROVED APPLICANTS. We are not a shelter and are completely volunteer foster-based, so there is no central place to come see all of the dogs available. 📌IMPORTANT NOTES: ** Housetraining with rescues is sometimes a work in progress and even if a dog is 100% in a foster's home, it should be expected there will be an adjustment period as a dog adapts to a new environment. This is even more true if the dog has not by chance had their altering appointment at time of adoption. ** Also, we highly recommend some form of 2-week shutdown and decompression for dogs going to a new home for best results. --> Lastly, breed guesses in rescue are just that (GUESSES!!) 99.9% of the time. We do not do DNA testing and our breed guesses are based on appearance and sometimes other traits, but we know the dog breed guessing game is a fool's errand even for those with LOTS of experience. 🗺 ADOPTION AREA: several hour radius of Rochester, NY (Canada within 3 hours IS allowed, except that young puppies need to be old enough to have gotten their rabies vaccination to cross the border - usually around 16 weeks)

Story
Adoption Application: https://www.cognitoforms.com/New2URescues/AdoptionApplication ********If dog/pup is showing as available it is available. Please do not email asking if it is. Submit application to meet dog if interested - yes an application is required******** Meet Gigi Bardot! This sweet lady is a 5.5 year old Papillon mix who weighs in around 20 pounds. She came to us from a puppy mill where she was used to have puppies until they didn't want her any longer. Due to her past, she is very fearful of new people and will require a patient adopter who is willing to help her continue to grow and give her the wonderful life she deserves. She does love other dogs, so she will do best in a home where there is another dog around her size and age. This will help her become more confident and have a safe space. She has been with her current foster mom for quite some time, and has not been around children or men. Gigi knows to go potty outside, but she does have occasional accidents still. We want to be completely transparent that Gigi does not walk well on a leash, and she is not likely to be a cuddly lap dog. She has so much potential in her sweet soul to just want to be with someone who will appreciate her for who she is. We would recommend that her potential family have a fenced in yard for her to exercise and potty safely. As a mill dog she is considered a flight risk, and a fence will help provide extra security (including the fact that she does not do well on a leash). Gigi Bardot is truly a beautiful girl, and hopes that someone is out there who is willing to give her all the love she deserves. If you would like to meet this adorable dog an application must be filled out https://www.cognitoforms.com/New2URescues/AdoptionApplication We are in Rochester, NY, we adopt to people who live in the Rochester area. We do not ship our dogs and require home visits. Must live in area to adopt, will not respond to out of area/country requests. Additionally we require physically fenced yard for dog/pup to play in safely. Exceptions are sometimes made to this requirement but is up to the foster and more often done for the small breed dogs. All our dogs have been treated with de-wormer; heartworm tested (if age appropriate -7 months or older); treated for fleas/ticks; microchipped; and examined by veterinarian plus given age appropriate vaccinations. We take every effort to ensure the health of the animal and you will receive a copy of all vet work performed at time of adoption. Dogs will be spayed/neutered thru us prior to finalizing any adoption. We provide information on dogs age and breed based on what we are told by person surrendering dog or vet's best guess. While we try our best we cannot guarantee that this information is 100% accurate and can often be best guess in case of our lovable mutts. You can learn more about our rescue and process at www.new2urescue.org or find us on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/New2Urescue. You must be 25 yrs of age or older to adopt through us. We are in the Rochester NY area and adopt dogs out to area residents. We are registered in NY State with the Dept of Agriculture RR #033 and a registered 501c3 Non-Profit.
