RUTABAGA (Cairn Terrier/Yorkie mix) - Only $95 adoption! We just rescued this sweetheart from the euthanasia list. The picture posted was taken at the shelter. New pictures & a more detailed adoption profile will be posted in the future as we get to know this pet if it is not adopted beforehand. PLEASE NOTE: All of the pets at Safe Haven receive basic training when they come to us. Adopters will be given a list of words that your new pet knows at the time of adoption. What each pet learns depends on how much time I have had to work with them, & if that pet has any additional issues that need to be focused on first. Additional notes: - Sweet and loving - Hand shy & submissive - This pet is recovering from spay/neuter surgery - This pet has an upper respiratory infection (URI). I would say that 8 out of 10 dogs that come from the big shelters have one when they come to us. A URI is the same as you or I having a common cold. It is not serious at all, & they just need extra time to recover from it. It is not contagious to humans, only to other dogs. - Please see comments on his/her post in our Facebook group to see his/her progress. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1405138936478168/ Weight: 12 lbs. Adoption fee is only $95 & includes: - Initial Vet check - Spay/Neuter surgery - Up to date on Vaccinations - Microchip - Voucher for a future Free office visit to the Vet - 50% off any Optimum Wellness Plan - 30 days of free pet insurance (in case something comes up after adoption) - Collar with ID - Harness * - Leash - Other surprise goodies from Safe Haven - Other coupons from Partners - Available Paperwork: Spay/Neuter records, Vaccination records, Vet records, Micro records, Recommendation list, etc... - Continued Support: Safe Haven will be there for the lifetime of your new adopted pet. If you ever have questions or concerns, we will always be there to help. Our goal is for you & your pet to live happily ever after! FROM THE SHELTER: Cairn Terrier mix; Brown; Male; 1 YR/6 MOS 13.50 LBS I came to the shelter as a stray. BEHAVIOR EVALUATION: When evaluated, he was lying down and shaking in the kennel, eyes wide, tolerated leashing but would not walk. Tolerated being picked up with a towel and carried, body stiff. He did not explore the room or eat treats, allowed petting, frozen in place with skin crawling, facing away. Two days later when re-evaluated, he tolerated leashing, slightly puckering his mouth but did walk out with encouragement. He took treats in the room but was avoidant of handlers, would lean away when handlers would reach toward him. Though he has shown some improvement since arriving at the shelter 3 days ago, he may improve much more quickly in a quiet home environment. MEDICAL: No medical exam has been performed due to behavior. Pet appears stable on visual exam. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Rutabaga was found as a stray and was fearful when he was being examined and snapped with some handling.

ADOPTING A CAT OR DOG IS UP TO A 20 YEAR COMMITMENT! THEY ARE NOT OBJECTS THAT YOU CAN GET RID OF WHEN THEY BECOME INCONVENIENT. THEY ARE INNOCENT LIVING, BREATHING ANIMALS WITH FEELINGS THAT DEPEND ON YOU TO TAKE CARE OF THEM. IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO TAKE CARE OF, LOVE, & PAY FOR EVERYTHING THIS PET NEEDS FOR UP TO 20 YEARS, THEN PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR AN APPLICATION. * Safe Haven STRONGLY believes that collars should only be used to hold their ID or as decoration. A dog can slip out of collar. Which becomes a problem if you are trying to restrain your dog, & it comes off. Also, attaching a leash to a collar puts pressure on the neck, which is one of the most sensitive areas of the body, & could hurt them. For these reasons, Safe Haven includes a harness with every dog adoption to ensure the safety of the dog. A harness distributes the weight on the chest & shoulders. It also has a handle on the back that you can grab if need be, without hurting your pet (EX: Dog falls off your boat, just grab the handle & pull your pet back in with no harm done. With a collar, you would have to strangle your dog when pulling your dog in). Also a dog cannot slip out of a harness if it is fitted correctly, so it is much easier to restrain them. FAQ: Q: Is this pet still available? A: Status is posted in the original post on the Facebook page for Safe Haven Animal Rescue of AZ at https://www.facebook.com/groups/1405138936478168/ . It will say the status in all caps at the very top of the pets post. Once on the Facebook page, type the pets name in the search box to easily pull up all the posts on that pet. Q: I don't see a phone #. Will someone please call me? A: Everything needed is online. I have found that online is the most efficient way to get all the work done. In the past, when I posted my #, my phone rang off t
