All About Xyla

I now present to you, Xyla!! I am a super big fan of getting ALL the loves. Petting is very welcomed and I'll even sneak some kisses in there too. My life may have started by living outside, but learning this inside stuff has been amazing. Cuddling on the couch is awesome, though I might try and lay on your face while doing so. HEHE!! I just like to be really close to my humans. Big or small, I love them all. Sometimes my size gets the best of me though, so if you're really little, I might need some help. I promise I won't bite or try to hurt you, I just forget how big I am. 

So far, my foster family has me sleeping in my kennel. I really don't mind though, as I can snore anywhere. It isn't too loud though, just a little hum. All night long you say?? Doesn't bother me. I won't even wake you up in the morning, I'll just wait for you to come let me out and go potty. Just remember to feed me after, food is yummy!! A couple times a day is preferred.

Winter has been cold this year, so lets snuggle up and be warm together. If you're ready to pet and love me, LET'S DO IT!!!! Can't wait to win your heart.

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.
