MEET FIONA!! NORTH NEW JERSEY

Fiona is an 8-ish yo. 11 lb. female white and cream Shih tzu – Maltese mix that is a SUPER sweet and goofy little girl that LOVES being with her people. She is the perfect lap buddy for someone that wants a pal to hang out with. She has wonderful house manners and is a very good listener. She always wants to please her people.

Her bloodwork is normal, she had a dental, was spayed and had a small hernia repair, and brought UTD. She is HW and Lyme negative, chipped, dewormed, and housebroken. She also knows how to use potty pads.

She takes 5 mg of Trilostane 1x per day (2x per day on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) to keep her cortisol levels balanced. This can be purchased on Chewy.com in the 20 mg Chew form to cut into four (about $55 for three months’ worth). https://www.chewy.com/trilostane-compounded-chew-dogs/dp/289049

She loves everyone she meets and was excellent at the vet and the groomer. She has been living with other small breed pups in her foster home and has no real interest in them except for sharing doggie beds, etc. She can be shy and does not have an aggressive bone in her body so she needs to be watched around other dogs that may try to overpower her.

Fiona's adoption fee is $450.

TO BE CONSIDERED, PLEASE EMAIL THE FOLLOWING PRELIMINARY DETAILS to:
adopt@gingerbreaddogs.org

- Name of dog(s) you are interested in adopting
- Your full name
- Full address
- Phone number
- Type home (house, condo, apt, etc.)
- Fenced-in yard details if any
- Ages of everyone living in household
- Work schedule of adults in household
- Ages of children visiting the home and frequency
- Current dogs in home: name, breed, size, and age
- If no current dogs, then your previous dogs (name, breed, age, what happened to them)
- How soon are you looking to adopt?
- How soon are you able to conduct a meet & greet in north NJ?
- Your Veterinary practice references including phone number (GIVE THEM PERMISSION TO SPEAK WITH US BEFORE SENDING THIS EMAIL)

We cannot accept phone calls and PLEASE give your vet office permission to speak with rescues if you are applying to adopt from any rescue. Ask them to mark your file. If they will not speak with me, I will move on to the next application and you will not be considered.

We consider out of area adoptions on a case-by-case basis. All meet & greets and adoptions are held in north New Jersey and we do not transport our pups. You must come to NJ. We also do not “hold” dogs. It is first qualified, first come and our expectation is you will move quickly to conduct the meet & greet if you are approved. An approved application does not guarantee adoption of any dog from our rescue.

Note: adoption fees are not negotiable. Our typical investment in our dogs is $1,200 and it goes up from there. If you cannot afford an adoption fee, you should not be adopting any dog. They are expensive, especially these little ones!
