Dot (va), Rat Terrier For Adoption In Virginia Beach, Virginia

Price:

$200

Location:

Virginia Beach, VA

Description:

Beauty's only skin deep? Not with Dot! Her uniquely colored coat is just an extra layer of charm on this delightful 2-year-old rat terrier, who is a beautiful blend of sweetness and energy. Dot's playful nature will have you laughing as she runs after a ball. In fact, as long as you're home most of the time and always ready to throw that ball, Dot would be delighted to be an only dog. But if you're not, she would enjoy having a canine companion close to her size (12 lbs.) as a playmate. Although she has the stamina for a 2-mile walk, she's happy with shorter, more frequent outdoor explorations (which also help her earn top marks in house-training). On those walks, Dot's busy neighborhood can offer distractions, but she's fine-tuning her leash skills and learning to take things in stride. Any children she meets are OK, but their small dogs? WAY better! Dot's sweet, serene side is equally impressive. She loves to cuddle and fits perfectly into any lap, making her the consummate companion for quiet nights at home. At bedtime, she'll sleep through the night in her crate or with you if allowed, and during the day, she can be crated for short periods with little fuss. Dot also rides well in a car inside her crate, even for long drives. Highly food motivated and an eager student, she has learned 'sit' and how to use a sandpapered board to file her nails. Curious, gentle, and funny, Dot is ready to learn more, explore new surroundings, and fill your home with love, laughter, and endless cuddles. Adopt Dot and experience the special love that only a pet like her can provide. For more insight into her amazing personality, take a look at Dot's photo album https://imageevent.com/newrattitude/dot .Our adoption fee is $200 for adult dogs or $250 for puppies under 6 months old. If you are interested in adopting this dog, PLEASE READ THE DETAILED ADOPTION PROCESS information on our website at www. NewRattitude.org/adopt/ From there, you can access our adoption application or contact our Adoption Team for more info. May 17, 2024, 3:48 pmAdoption processWe go through a very careful adoption process because our mission is to place dogs in loving homes that will last the rest of their lives. We evaluate each home's overall suitability and safety, and we also consider whether a particular dog is right for you and whether you are right for that dog—because we know that a great lasting relationship depends on the right match. This process will usually take several days. Your patience and understanding are appreciated. To learn more about our adoption process, please visit our website by clicking here! The fastest way to indicate your interest in a particular dog and to find out more about him/her is to SUBMIT AN ADOPTION APPLICATION. After you submit an application, we will confirm receipt and notify the foster parent of the dog you are interested in. The foster parent will contact you with more details about the dog to help you get to know him or her better. Please ask questions so that you can be sure that this dog meets your hopes and expectations. In the meantime, our Adoption volunteers will be reviewing your application, checking your references, and arranging for a home visit to verify that your physical environment is safe and suitable. You will also receive a phone call from an Adoption Coordinator for an interview to help us better understand your household situation and your reasons and expectations for adoption. Assuming all goes well and that you are approved for adoption, we will send you an adoption contract to read, sign, and return to us with your adoption fee ($175 for adult dogs; $225 for puppies under 6 months). Once we receive your contract and fee, your new dog can come HOME to you! If the distance from your home to the dog's foster home and is less than 100 miles, we would normally expect you to go pick up the dog. If the distance is 100-600 miles, we would usually arrange a ground transport, using a network of volunteer drivers, to get the dog to you (and expect you to drive at least the last leg of the transport). If the distance is greater than 600 miles, the dog must usually be flown by air, and the costs of the flight (usually around $250) are the responsibility of the adopter. If you have questions about adoption that aren't answered on our website, you may CONTACT OUR ADOPTION TEAM at XXXX@NewRattitude.org. The Adoption Team will know the status of any pending applications and can help you submit an adoption application.Shelter locationNew Rattitude operates through a network of volunteers, and the dogs are housed in private foster homes rather than in a shelter. Because of that, we do not own a location where the public can come to visit dogs. The fastest way to get acquainted with any of our dogs is to submit an adoption application. After your application is received, you'll be put in touch with the dog's foster parent, who is the one to answer specific questions you may have about the dog. You may also contact our Adoption Team to verify the dog doesn't already have multiple other applications or with questions about our process.
