Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.This may be premature as he hasn’t had much time to decompress since arriving but I’d say this dog, while a mix breed, is mostly Shih Tzu just from the way he attaches. From the moment I picked him up all he’s wanted to do is cuddle. On the car ride home - on my shoulder. Being put down on the kitchen floor -climbing my leg back to a safe cradle position. While I was his first safe space and therefore hold a slight advantage, he will gladly snuggle onto anyone’s lap, including my 8 year olds (when she’s calm enough to be considered an available lap). As we work on his potty training he trots after me across the yard. He will need an owner ready to play some catch up on training, including potty training, but it shouldn’t be too insurmountable a task with this chill, happy, cuddly little boy. Again with the possibly premature judgement but from what I’ve seen so far he’s tentative but accepting of all humans big and small, dogs big and small, and cats. Calm creatures of all species would be his preference so far. Update: He was diagnosed with Lyme and after a week+ of antibiotics I can safely say that while I can see a little puppy in there now (chewing, a bit more pep) he is most definitely as expected for a 9m/o shih tzu and will make a great snuggle buddy. *This dog's adoption fee is $325.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Interested in this animal? The first step is an application, which can be completed at www.cvrrescue.org/adoption-applications/. The adoption fee helps cover a portion of the care provided for our animals, including spay/neuter, microchip, heartworm testing for dogs, FeLV/FIV combo testing for cats, deworming, age-appropriate vaccines (including rabies vaccine), and any medical care received while in our care. All cats and dogs are on flea/tick and parasite prevention for the duration of foster care. Notes about puppies: Adopters can expect a new puppy to have accidents, chew things they shouldn't, and have other normal, energetic puppy issues until they are trained, including jumping, mouthing, and general youthful naughtiness. If you experience puppy issues, please feel free to contact us; we’re happy to offer guidance. Also, if a puppy is a mixed breed, we cannot guarantee an adult weight. If your residence has weight restrictions or if you’re looking for a specific adult weight, we don't recommend applying for a mixed-breed puppy. We also offer rehoming services for pets currently owned by individuals. In these cases, we list the animal as a courtesy to the owner, and the animal is not currently in the care of CVRR, such that we can make no representation or guarantee of the animal’s behavior, demeanor, or health assessment. All information listed for a courtesy-posted animal is provided by the current owner and should be verified by any potential adopter. CVRR is a nonprofit organization. We have no paid staff, and all applications are reviewed and processed by our volunteers. Please be patient and understand that it may take 7-14 days to process your application, check your references, and gather follow-up info. You can expedite the process by providing accurate phone numbers and email addresses for your vet and landlord references, and by answering each question fully. Once your application is approved, we will schedule a meet-and-greet to see if the animal picks you, too. If it seems the adoption will be a good match for all, we will collect the adoption fee and complete the adoption contract. CVRR is a NO KILL rescue organization, and we have a LIFETIME COMMITMENT to all of our animals. If for any reason the adoption does not work out, the animal must be returned to CVRR. We will reevaluate the animal and choose a new home based on the best fit for it. December 30, 2024, 8:49 pm
