FOSTER UPDATE 8/1/20:
Nikki and Gizmo are a bonded pair of chihuahuas (Nikki is Gizmo's father) and they are the absolute sweetest. They are older gentleman, but they don't act like it. Nikki and Gizmo love going for walks, and have no problem keeping up. Nikki LOVES toys! They also love snuggling and are happy to curl up on your lap for hours on end.
FOSTER UPDATE 4/14/20:
Nikki (the father) and Gizmo (the son) have similar personalities. Both are as sweet as can be, and love human companionship. They are excellent on leash, love going on walks and have no problem keeping up considering they are older gentlemen. Nikki and Gizmo get along with other dogs, I have not seen them around cats. They are not housebroken. Gizmo is getting the hang of pee pads. Nikki still marks everywhere, but now understands that he's not supposed to and won't do it while I'm watching. Both of the boys are fully vetted, full of life, and are a lot of fun to be around!
Gizmo and Nikki are a bonded pair and MUST be adopted together. Gizmo is an approximately 8 year old, white and red, long-haired Chihuahua. He is very sweet, has tolerated all people including calm, gentle children... but he doesn’t want to be carried around by them. Gizmo does growl at other dogs around his food bowl and treats and should be fed alone. He is NOT bothered by humans around his food. He doesn’t mind baths, or car rides and is neutered, vaccinated, tested, and on preventions. He had two infected teeth removed, uses puppy pads, and will go outside also :-)
If interested in adopting, please visit www.masrescue.org and click on "Adopt Here". Beginning June 30th, 2017, MAS Rescue will charge a $10 non refundable administrative application processing fee. 100% of this fee will be for our rescued animals in need. To be clear: 1. No dog application will be processed until the $10 fee is paid via PayPal link on our website: http://www.masrescue.org/helpus.html.
2. The $10 is non refundable. Should you be approved and adopt an animal through MAS Rescue, you will receive a $10 credit to your adoption fee.
3. Paying the application fee is in no way a guarantee that you will be approved to adopt an animal through MAS Rescue. All of the same standards in processing applications still apply. See our policies and procedures: http://www.masrescue.org/pnp.html
4. By submitting an application and paying the $10 application fee, you agree to the terms listed above. If you do not adopt through MAS Rescue or your application is rejected, this serves as your notice of the application fee policy. The Adoption Fee is $300.00. Please Note: 100% of all the adoption fees collected are used to care for the animals, and pay our ever increasing vet bill. We appreciate your interest in adopting from a rescue organization. We understand the desire to meet our "cuties" as soon as possible, but because we operate entirely out of foster homes, we need to limit visitation to approved applicants only. Once your completed application is submitted by you and approved by MASR, we will be glad to schedule your visit. This dog has been examined by our vet, spayed or neutered (if not previously done), vaccinations updated, heartworm negative, and has been microchipped. Breed Selection is 'Best Efforts' given by shelter staff, veterinarians and rescue volunteers. NO guarantees are implied. We do not guarantee housebreaking. Consistency and patience are key! Dogs benefit greatly from Obedience Training - and we encourage you to check out http://www.pupsdogobediencetraining.com/ . They offer a great discount for training of dogs coming from MAS Rescue! Please note that small breeds are not well designed for families with young children as everything about them is more delicate and will require careful handling. Remember adoption is a commitment for the lifetime of your new furry friend; dogs could live 15 years or more!!
