About Velma

Oh, Velma! Velma was born in May of 2019 and found in a box in a parking lot. We found her what we believed would be her forever home in July but alas, we received an email from a shelter all the way down in Los Angeles County stating that she had been surrendered to them - no message from her adopters for help, nothing. Needless to say, we took her back. Her original foster spoiled her for a bit before we decided it was time for her to find a new home - this time a forever one! We believe this cutie is a Beagle/Chihuahua or Terrier mix. She's about 15 pounds. Velma is now about eight months old and is a beautiful girl with a beautiful soul. She gets along great with other dogs, is okay with cats, and gets along well with young humans (though we look for homes where children in the home are five years or older). Should you want to meet and potentially adopt this sweet girl then please read on or go directly to the Adoption Process page of our website, throwmeabonedogrescue.org. All potential adopters are expected to complete an application and provide pictures of their yard, patio, and/or balcony making sure we can see the fence line and/or railing. The application can be completed and submitted from our website - throwmeabonedogrescue.org - the link is found of the Adoption Process page. Applications will be reviewed for approval before setting an appointment to come meet and possibly adopt the dog of interest. In addition, those who live in a rental property are expected to provide proof that they are allowed to have a dog where they live. Each of our rescued dogs has been de-wormed if necessary, de-flea'd (with topical treatment if old enough, and by medicated bath if too young), spayed/neutered, microchipped, is up to date on shots, and has been fully examined by a veterinarian. In addition, each adopted dog comes with a starter baggie of the food it has been eating, a few treats for training purposes, a rawhide chew, a lead and collar, and a folder containing pertinent records.
