About Festus

Festus (meaning joyful) is truly a joy. This boy (who the shelter said is five years old but is probably younger) is fun, loving, and pocket and a very small bundle of love. Festus is everything his name says and more. He gets along with the small dogs in his foster home and is okay with cats. He will most likely enjoy respectful children who aren't too noisy or loud as well. His favorite activity? Snuggling up with his people and winning their hearts. If you need a festival covered in fur in your life then you need to meet Festus. 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.
