About Cotton Puff/Adopted!! | |
|
|
Puff is our new tiny little girl (11 lbs full grown) who is looking for her very own family. She is the cutest little one. When you talk to her she tilts her head from side to side like she is trying to really understand what you're saying. That's one of my favorite traits of a dog, that and froggy legs. When she finds the smallest piece of a former toy she is thrilled, everything is a true treasure to her. We want to find the perfect family who will now treasure her.
She looks like a Mini-lemon beagle and her body looks like a Mini-doxie. Now that she is well from a severe case of mange and out of pain, she has turned into a fun-loving, high spirited little one who runs around the house like her tail is on fire. She plays well with the big dogs and the other little dog Kay. We took her to her first event on Sunday and she greeted everyone with kisses and snuggles - that's what she wants - to be someone's little baby. She is very very very sweet, affectionate and a real lap warmer.
Puff came from WV after being held captive in a horrible hoarding situation. She had the worse case of mange I've had so far, and we've had many cases. I've enclosed one shot of her below when she first arrived - so sad for her to have been in this much pain. She has one more treatment and she's ready to go home. Since this has been such a difficult treatment we did incur an extra $125 in medication costs to get her well. We will need to add those costs to her adoption donation cost of $200.
NOTE: We will not place her in a home with children - after the life she has had, she deserves to be someone's little baby for the rest of her life. She also needs to be adopted into a home with another dog since she LOVES to play with her foster sisters. She would not be happy being an "only child" so please do not apply if you do not have a playmate for her.
PLEASE NOTE: A fence is always mandatory - no exceptions. Be sure to read ALL our adoption policies prior to applying for a puppy/dog.
** If you do NOT agree with our adoption policies - please feel free to apply at a rescue that you do agree with.
If qualified by our adoption policies and you would like to apply online - you must first register on the website and await an e-mailed passcode. Once you have this info, you will be able to access our application.
Our adoption donation is $200 which is (1/2) of what we've actually spent to properly vet & spay/neuter each of our dogs. Adoption donation for any dog 5 years and up is $100.

Any dog/pup adopted from us must have a fenced in property either Physical or Petstop Electric Fence. We do not accept any other brand due to the high failure rate. The fence must be installed prior to us completing an adoption application. If you need an electric fence contact the company Petstop @ www.petstop.com
We abide by the Humane Association's recommendation. For ANY DOG adoption to have a relatively good chance of success, we believe a child should be 8 years old & up. We only adopt what we call our "BONA-FIDE Kid Lovers to families with children." Many dogs do not want to live with children. You should only adopt a dog who LOVES kids to be sure you are able to make a lifetime commitment to a dog.
We also expect that if no one is home all day, arrangements will be made to provide the dog with at least (1) "potty break" daily. This can be through a family member, neighbor, or Petsitting service. We know that it is impossible for us humans to "hold it" for 8-10 hours, so we do not want our "shelter kids" to be expected to do so.
We have several Petsitting service companies that we can recommend:
