Story
PLEASE READ ENTIRE POST AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION - PEARL BREED - Maltese SIZE - About 10 pounds AGE - 8 years GENDER - Female MEDICAL CONCERNS - None known BEHAVIOR CONCERNS - None known SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS - Pearl is a beautiful female Maltese who came to us recently from a breeding operation in North Carolina. Understandably this sweet little lady is learning to love and trust humans since being a beloved pet has not been a part of her past life. Pearl arrived with two other females from the same household and they cling to one other for comfort, yet all are very easily handled and snuggled. Each will do well with a caring owner who has consistent time to give to them to make them feel loved and secure. Fully grown at just 10 pounds, she is a perfect size for most homes. Upon arrival Pearl had conjunctivitis in both eyes, a condition we are successfully treating. Though breeders are notorious for giving only cursory care to their dogs, Pearl appears to have been treated well. She is now spayed, microchipped and vaccinated, and she has tested negative for heart worm and placed on prevention. Her skin and coat are beautiful, and she appears in very good health. At 8 years old, she is little more than a middle aged girl for her size and breed. We are seeking a home with an adopter able to work from home or be at home the majority of the day to spend time showing Pearl consistent love and attention A home with another small, well-behaved dog may be an asset for Pearl as she acclimates. A fenced, secure yard is a must, as is a home without larger pets or small children. 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 the Pearl as well as our adoption criteria. Once determined, we will set up a private meeting for you and your family to meet Pearl 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.

Story
This is a sad post to make, but necessary for my family and Oshi. Oshi is a mix Bichon Shih Tzu that we have had for about 7 years. We believe he is between 9-12 years old. Unfortunately he doesn't get along with my Son and we need to rehome him. He would do fine in a home with pre-teens, but the erratic behavior of a toddler doesn't gel with him. To be clear, he has bitten my child after being provoked. We think he would do good in a home where he can be more the center of attention.
