Adoption Fee: $175
Australian Kelpie / Rat Terrier
Age: Puppy
Sex: Female

Told her friends she didn't want them to plan anything for her bday but obvi didn't mean it. Can't believe people this it's acceptable to write 'hbd' on her FB wall. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Intake Date: 21 Feb 2020 - Adopted: 18 Apr 2020 - Returned to Rescue: 21 July 2020----- Age at intake: 10 months ----- Breed: chihuahua/terrier mix guess----- Size: 20 lbs ----- Status: owner surrender, hoarding case ----- Compatible with: dogs, cats, children potentially once we make progress ----- Suitable for: home with fenced yard. ----- Medical/Behavioral Needs: none major noted medically. Shy, hoarding victim. ----- Additional Notes: She is very shy and timid with new things but thrives in a home with another dog and LOVES to do zoomies. She has a blast at our home. An adopter needs to be prepared to challenge her fears and give her time to adjust, but not allow her to sit in a corner and experience nothing. We force her into situations and she thrives. This sweet little girl came from a hoarding situation. Those are always difficult for dogs. She does however do wonderfully when pushed and has made extreme progress. She originally came to us cowering in a cage and defecated herself when approached or touched. Now, she is smiley, tail up, and loves our attention. She barks for affection and loves to stretch her legs in the fenced yard. We recommend a home with another dog so she has someone to 'follow' to get comfortable. She was returned to rescue because she wasn't adjusting. She wasn't being pushed to do new things, to include even going outside. She NEEDS to be challenged in situations. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If interested in meeting and potentially adopting, please read the adoption requirements and complete the adoption application located at forbellessake.org. Once processed and approved a meet and greet can be scheduled and if a match an adoption can be finalized at that time. FBS standard adoption fee is $175. All residents are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and treated for any known medical needs. Breeds are best guess. Housetraining is not guaranteed but crate training is worked on with all residents. If a yard is present a secure physical fence is required. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spay/neuter = $170; Vaccinations = $20.00; Microchip = $18.00; Deworming = $20.00; Total vetting = $225.35 + food, bedding etc; Adoption fee = $175; Loss = +$50 ----- Without support, we cannot continue to rescue dogs. Unfortunately many are hesitant to pay the minimal adoption fee when dogs can be found free anywhere. What they aren't prepared for is the vetting expense required and then the animals are not fixed and the reproduction surplus continues. Sponsoring a dog's adoption fee allows us to find them a home after being fully vetted, continue intaking and vetting, and continue baby steps towards 'fixing companion animal overpopulation'. To sponsor, send your donation via PayPal at [email protected] with the name of the dog you would like to sponsor in the note! As always, we appreciate your support and cannot do this without you. You are unsung heroes!!
