Meet Beethoven
Beethoven is a sweet 5-year-old Shih Tzu whose owner is heartbroken to rehome him but
knows it’s the best thing for him. With a demanding schedule working and attending nursing
school, she simply can’t give him the time and attention he deserves. Beethoven is ready for a
home where he can be cherished, included, and loved the way every dog should be.
Beethoven is a pretty chill guy overall. He isn’t overly demanding and enjoys spending his time
doing whatever you’re doing—whether that’s relaxing at home, taking a stroll, or just hanging
out nearby. He is crate trained, leash trained, and potty trained, making him an easy addition to
just about any home.
He gets along with everyone he meets and does well with other dogs, cats, and kids. Beethoven
isn’t the playful type when it comes to other dogs; he prefers to quietly observe and keep to
himself while the action unfolds around him. His gentle, easygoing personality makes him a
great match for a calm household or someone looking for a low-maintenance companion.
Beethoven is the kind of dog who simply wants to be near his people and enjoy life at a relaxed,
comfortable pace. He’s affectionate, well-mannered, and ready for a home that can give him the
love, time, and presence he’s been missing.

ADOPTION PROCESS:
1.) Apply: Fill out adoption application completely and submit all necessary documents.
2.) Application Decision: approved applicants will be notified via phone call and email.
3.) Foster-to-Adopt Trial Period: after approval, you have the opportunity to do a meet and greet and bring your dog home! You get a 5-day foster-to-adopt (FTA) period to make sure its the right fit.
4.) Final Decision: By the end of the FTA period, please let us know your final decision to adopt or return the dog to our rescue.
5.) Home Visit: After the adoption process we conduct a home visit either in person or via zoom meeting to ensure that everything is going well with the transition and to answer any final questions you may have.
6.) Neuter/spay for puppies: for dogs who are not fixed at the time of adoption, we will reimburse for the procedure once we receive proof of spay/neuter. The procedure MUST be done at HAWS Snip Clinic in Waukesha, WI or Wisconsin Community Veterinarian Center in Madison, WI. If you would like to go through your veterinarian or another location, we will reimburse $150 once we receive proof of the procedure. We recommend spay/neuter around 6 months old.
**Note: Adoptions are not considered final until the dog is neutered/spayed if applicable**
