Story
Please contact Valerie (valerin81871@verizon.net) for more information about this pet. Adoption Donation $ TBD Located: Rhode Island Age: approx 14 years old Weight: 8 lbs Meet Sawyer — A Smart, Sweet 6.5 lb Senior Yorkie Sawyer is a tiny, active, and clever senior Yorkie who just wants to stay close to his person. Though he’s blind, he navigates well with a steady routine and learns his surroundings quickly. He has tracheal collapse, so he needs a calm home and someone patient who can give him supportive care when he has episodes. In return, he’s endlessly affectionate, loyal, and happiest curled up right beside you. If you’re looking for a small, smart, loving companion who thrives on togetherness, Sawyer is ready for his forever person. If you are interested in adopting me, please fill out an application on our website www.fohari.org and email my foster parent for more information: valeri.nihill@gmail.com Please verify the location and readiness of this dog with us. Because we save lives from various locations through out the United States, some dogs may not be in New England yet, nor ready for immediate adoption. Our adoption application can be found here: https://fohari.org/application/ Our Adoption Process: Go to our website and select the animal you are interested in. ALL animals are in foster homes as we do NOT have a shelter where you can visit. Some animals are in foster care in New England, and some are located in other states. If the initials following the animals name are a state, then that is the state where the animal is located. If initials are not a state, then those are the initials of the foster home outside of New England and you will not be able to meet the animal ahead of time. Complete our online application You will be contacted by phone or email by the foster parent or a member of our adoption team and will have the opportunity to find out more about the animal, and ask any questions that you have to ensure the animal is a good fit for your household. If the animal is local, you can meet the animal, but you would not be able to take the dog home until you are approved to adopt. From our end, we will check references and schedule a home visit. If you live in an apartment, or a condo, we will need to verify permission to own the animal from your landlord or condo board. Please let your vet’s office and references know we will be contacting them. If your references are positive, we will schedule a home visit by a volunteer. Please try to accommodate the home visit volunteer as most have busy schedules. Delays in the visit will result in a delay in the adoption. Once you are approved, you will receive an e-mail with your adoption contract attached. This e-mail will have details about pick up, the balance of the adoption fee that is owed, etc. Please email your signed & witnessed contract and pay your adoption fee in full, and for any animals located out of state, you will be contacted for details about transport to New England. Once you have paid your adoption fee in full and sent back your contract, you can make arrangement to pick up your animal from the foster home or from transport depending on where the animal is located. Please bring a harness, collar, ID tag and leash when you are picking up the dog unless otherwise instructed by the foster parent. Our extensive approval process is intended to ensure the best fit between our animals and adopters.
