Rex, Silky Terrier For Adoption In Sandston, Virginia
Location:
Sandston, VA
Description:
PLEASE READ ENTIRE POST AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION - REX BREED - Silky Terrier mixSIZE - About 15 poundsAGE - 2 yearsGENDER - MaleMEDICAL CONCERNS - None knownBEHAVIOR CONCERNS - None knownSPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS - Rex is a precious little fellow who came to us from rural Davidson County, NC after being dumped from a car in the country. This sugar sweet boy is a wonderful dog and we cannot imagine what would cause someone to do something so horrible as to abandon him. We are grateful that he was seen and taken in, and that we have the opportunity to help him to find a wonderful new home and family. Our vet has examined this healthy guy and thinks he is about 2 years old. He is fully grown at just under 15 pounds. Rex has gotten his first round of vaccines, has tested negative for heart worms and is scheduled to be neutered on December 16. Until after his neuter, we will only adopt him locally to Richmond, VA. We are seeking a knowledgable and experienced adopter who can help to train Rex to be an indoor dog, and to understand that he is secure in their home. A home with a structured fence is a must as this little guy is looking for escape. Clearly he is missing his prior home. We are seeking a home with an adopter able to work from home or be at home the majority of the day to spend time with Rex. A home without larger pets or small children is in his best interest. This beautiful boy is a true diamond in the rough. Our adoption process starts with your email to XXXX@aol.com or Adopt a Pet inquiry. After we receive it, we will email you our prescreening questionnaire. Your answers will help us determine that your home and lifestyle matches the needs of Rex and our adoption criteria. Once determined, we will set up a private meeting with you and your family to meet Rex at a park near our private kennel just east of Richmond. After meeting him and determining that he matches your preferences for a pet, we will accept your application. A home visit by one of our trained volunteers is required for all adoptions, and we will speak with your vet to ensure that you are a responsible pet owner. More information on our website at www.carerva.com.Adoption processCARE Rescue is a private, non-profit, all volunteer organization. We do not have a public facility for you to visit, so the only opportunity to meet our adoptable animals is at a private appointment. We update our Adopt a Pet listing daily, so animals advertised as available are available for adoption! Our adoption process begins with meeting the animal via appointment. We do NOT have an online application, but will offer you one after you have met the animal(s) you are interested in adopting and have determined that it is a good fit for your home. We are happy to discuss, at length, available information on our animals in person. Because we are a volunteer organization, we cannot always answer and respond to telephone calls and emails. After the potential adopters meet an animal and complete an application, our adoption committee meets to determine which applications it has that meet our adoption criteria. Our adoption criteria is thoroughly discussed on Page 1 of the application. We reserve the right to deny an adoption to any one for any reason. Please understand that we know these animals and their needs well and our goal is to place them in the very best situation for each one individually. We do not place our animals in homes with preschool aged children and are careful with size differences in animals. A constructed fenced yard will be required for most adoptions. We will request, and rely heavily upon, a veterinary reference. Your veterinarian can give us the information we need to determine that you are a responsible pet owner. We will check to see if your previous and/or current animals were spayed or neutered, kept up to date with vaccines, kept on monthly PRESCRIBED heart worm medication, and if you gave your animal the care your veterinarian recommended. This is the first step to our process A home visit is required for all adoptions. Generally we require that this visit be done by one of our volunteers, so often it is difficult to place animals more than 100 miles of Richmond in any direction, although sometimes it is possible. The purpose of the home visit is to ensure that the home is safe for the animal being considered for adoption. We prefer to have all family members present for the home visit. Most adoptions take place within 7 days. We ask that you not seek adoption just before a major life change (job change, wedding, divorce, relocation) or just before a planned vacation. Our goal is that our animals have several weeks to decompress and learn their place in their new families without additional stress.Shelter locationCapital Area Rescue Effort (CARE) is a foster-based rescue in Richmond, VA. All our dogs are housed in private homes and kennels and are not available to the public except via appointment.
