My story

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

Age: 1 year

Size: 14 lbs

Estimated breed: Chihuahua/Pug mix

 

Olaf was confiscated from a home with over 40 chihuahuas living in terrible conditions. Rescuers found dogs living under the home, feces completely covering the floor, and newborn and nursing babies living in couch cushions and under furniture. Several dogs had began leaving the house out of an open window in search of help. Help came just in time, and all 40 surviving dogs were taken to the shelter and checked out by a vet. Along with several other rescues, we agreed to get the whole group out of the shelter and into rescues and foster care! 

 

Olaf is thriving in foster care and learning what it's like to be a beloved family member. He's a shy boy who bonds quickly to his people. He does great with all eight of his doggie foster siblings of various shapes and sizes. We haven't seen him with cats or kids but can test her out for an approved adopter. He sleeps quietly through the night in his crate and has not had any accidents in it. He's picking up on house training and currently weighs a belly band to prevent marking inside since he was only just recently neutered. This behavior should subside or end entirely once his male hormones calm down a few weeks post neuter! Olaf is unfamiliar with the leash and does his business in his foster's fenced in yard. He's slowly getting acclimated to the leash but will need time and patience to learn how to walk on it. Olaf is the absolute sweetest boy with the goofiest underbite and snaggle tooth, you can't help but fall in love with him.

Thank you for your interest in adopting a dog from Nirvana Animal Rescue! Our adoption process is in place to ensure we find you the perfect match. The process includes the following steps:

Volunteer review of your application, including a background check on all adults living in the home, checking personal references, contacting your landlord if you rent, and contacting your veterinarian if you have current pets.

Phone interview with a volunteer to discuss the answers on your online application, share more information about Nirvana Animal Rescue, and answer any questions you have.

Virtual home visit with a volunteer to review your home and yard and ensure it is a safe environment for a dog.

If your application passes the above steps, the final step is arranging a time for your entire family, including resident dogs, to meet the dog you’d like to adopt! We require that everyone in the family meet the new dog before fully approving the adoption.
