Archie joined the rescue after being released from the commercial dog breeding industry. He has taken to the pet life like a duck to water. You’d never know he’s never been a pet! Archie loves to play! He will play with just about any toy he is given. He loves our English bulldog and gives her kisses frequently. He appears to be good with the small and large neighbor dogs and has no problem around our large parrot. He really loves to run in the yard and tolerates a fair amount of activity. He recently had surgery to correct an elongated palate and nasal stenosis, and his breathing is significantly better already! He wants to be near his human at ALL times, just like a shadow. He allows people to pick him up, but prefers just to sit near you, not on you, when it’s time to relax. His little howl is so adorable, he stands up on his hind legs to make it more dramatic! This sweet boy would love a home where he doesn’t have to be alone for long during the day, as he gets so lonely!
While in foster care, all our dogs are thoroughly vetted. Any discovered medical issues will be disclosed above. Our Lucky Bulldogs (and their smushie-faced buddies) are cleared by their vet for adoption prior to us accepting applications. All our dogs will be up to date on Rabies & DHPP vaccinations, up to date on Heartworm preventative after a negative Heartworm test, and spayed or neutered prior to being adopted out to their forever homes. Often times, our dogs are given dentals and sometimes nare-widening surgery if needed while under anesthesia. All surgical and medical history we have will be shared with adopters. Further details can be discussed with the foster volunteer during the phone interview for the applications that are chosen to proceed to the phone interview part of the adoption process.
All our dogs are crate trained unless otherwise noted on their "All About" pages.
We typically will accept applications for our available dogs for 1-2 weeks except in cases of overwhelming popularity where we may stop accepting new applicants sooner. Once we have stopped accepting applications, we will review them and proceed with a phone call with our top applications to chat about the dog being applied for, go over the adoption process, and answer any questions the potential adopter has. After phone calls take place, we will decide on our top applicant choice and proceed to contact them to schedule a home visit (in person or via video chat), and check vet and personal references before the adoption is ready to be completed. This process can take up to 6 weeks, but we do notify all applicants of the outcome.
