My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Ella, a 5 year old (dob: 10/4/19) Shih Tzu, who is a recent breeder release from Pennsylvania. She currently weighs about 12 pounds and has been fully vetted (spay, dental, vaccinations and microchipped) and is looking for her forever home.
Ella would do best in a home with a secure fenced in yard and hopefully at least 1 other dog companion.
Ella loves exploring outside and will let you know if anyone or anything breaches the perimeter!
Are you the forever this little girl is looking for?

Their adoption process

1.

Submit Application

Please fill out our adoption application at www.dutchcountryanimalrescue.org/adopt.html Please let your vet know we will call them.

2.

Interview

We will review your application and if you look like a good fit for the dog you applied for, we will call you to discuss the dog further.

3.

Home Check

Once you and we agree the dog seems like a good fit, one of our volunteers will schedule a time to come do a home check.

4.

Approve Application

After the home check is complete, we will arrange to have your new family member transported to your home.

Additional adoption info

Our organization is run by volunteers who all work full time so we ask that you apply only if you are sure you are ready to adopt a dog. For casual lookers, please visit us at one of our adoption events which are posted on our website:

www.dutchcountryanimalrescue.org

We do not have a shelter - all of our dogs are in foster homes.

Our adoption application is on our website at www.dutchcountryanimalrescue.org/adopt.html

Our adoption fees are on our application and vary by age of the dog. Since we are a public charity, we rely on the adoption fee and donations to help us cover vet bills for our rescues.

We believe in matching the family with the right dog so we do not have a checklist of requirements - some dogs need a fenced in yard where others do just fine with regular leash walking. The only general requirement we have is that adopters of our puppy mill rescues must have a fenced in yard since these dogs can be flight risks at first. Most puppy mill dogs will not do well in a home that doesn't have another dog.

It is impossible for us to answer all inquiries due to the high volume of email that we receive. However, if you apply for a dog and have not heard back within 3 days, please feel free to email us at adoptions@dutchcountryanimalrescue.org to make sure your application went through OK. We prioritize emails from applicants and adopters.

More about this rescue

We are a 501(c)(3) approved non profit organization rescuing small breed dogs with a foster network in multiple states around the country. We do not have a physical location since our dogs are in foster homes. Our mailing address is currently in Texas where we handle our administrative work, but most of our dogs are fostered on the east coast.


Our vision is for all animals to be given the opportunity to live in a peaceful environment with a warm place to rest their head, proper medical care, a full belly, and to truly know the meaning of love.

Our mission is to rescue abused or abandoned animals that otherwise would not have a chance. Most of our rescues come from puppy mills and high-kill shelters around the country.
