Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Cricket, the happy go lucky, goofy puppy we cannot get enough of! This handsome little dude gets along amazingly with EVERYONE, cats, dogs, kids, you name it! Though, he's occasionally a little shy with strangers, he warms up within a couple minutes with some treats, and extra lovin's! Other than Cricket's gentle, loving nature, his adorable looks, and silly ears, he's got THE cutest little wiggle butt! He wags his miniature little tail all around anytime you've got treats, talk to him like he's just a little baby (he is!), or give him all the belly rubs! He is one lucky pooch, too! His foster family taught him all the basics of family-doggy living, making him that PERFECT, well rounded puppy you've been looking for! & well, if you're not looking for the most perfect puppy on earth, then we suggest you keep on looking, as Cricket is by far, the best little man, EVER!
My adoption fee is only $310! This fee covers all of my vaccines, microchip, nex/heartguard, heartworm test, AND my spay/neuter!
Think I might be the perfect fit for your home? You can apply for me here https://animalwelfarefriends.org/adopt/application/ OR you can apply in person when you come visit me any day during business hours! You can even adopt me that same day once approved!!
Please Note: All adoptions are on a first-come first served basis with approved adoption applicants. We do not hold animals unless the adoption is out-of-state, and fees apply. The animal's welfare is our first and only priority, in doing so, they are moved from the shelter into their respective homes as quickly, & humanely as possible to remove the risk of undergoing extreme stress, immune system compromisation, & behavioral concerns.
DISCLAIMER: Genetic Breed accuracy is NOT guaranteed; we assess by the following:
Interview with or paperwork from with the previous owner
Intake evaluation observations (behavior, physical appearance, and energy level)
Source documents from which to analyze characteristics
Consultation with other staff
