AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION - ZARINA

BREED - Chihuahua
SIZE - About 8 pounds
AGE - 1-3 years
GENDER - Female
MEDICAL CONCERNS - None known
BEHAVIOR CONCERNS - None known
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS - Zarina, which means "golden", is a precious little girl who came to us from a NC shelter partner. She is very quiet and initially shy, but we are seeing her warm up more each day and that's in our kennel with new volunteers. We can only imagine how beautifully she would bloom in a loving home! Zarina is a little gal, only 8 pounds. Her pictures make her appear larger than she is. Not only is she adorable, but she is super sweet and very gentle. She loves the other small dogs here and likes the people who interact with her. Zarina is in good health. She will be spayed and microchipped in early November, so is only available for adoption locally to Richmond, VA. Once she has been spayed, we can consider out of town adoptions. Zarina is up to date on vaccines and has tested negative for heart worms. We are seeking a home with an adopter who has the ability to work from home or be at home the majority of the day to spend time with this sweet girl. The consistency of routine will help her to quickly settle in to a new home. A home without larger pets and with a fenced, secure yard will provide safety for play time and bath rooming. Zarina will fit nicely into most homes.

Our adoption process starts with your email to carerescue@aol.com or Adopt a Pet inquiry. After we receive it, we will email you our prescreening questionnaire. Your answers will help us determine that your home and lifestyle matches the needs of Zarina and our adoption criteria. Once determined, we will set up a private meeting with you and your family to meet Zarina at a park near our private kennel just east of Richmond. After meeting her and determining that she matches your preferences for a pet, we will accept your application. A home visit by one of our trained volunteers is required for all adoptions, and we will speak with your vet to ensure that you are a responsible pet owner.
