History: Cali Joy FKA Kinzey was adopted as a puppy back in 2018. She was recently returned to rescue when her family had a life change and could no longer keep her. She has been settling back into rescue and working on her confidence and trust. She went through a period upon her return of being very confused and down in the dumps :( She is officially ready to start her journey in finding her forever home soon!
A note from the foster: Cali Joy (we call her Cali) is an absolute sweetheart. She is a snuggle bug; she loves to lay on the couch with you and sleeps in her dog bed at the foot of our bed every night. She likes to just be near her people.
Cali is potty trained and crate trained. We have mostly let her have free range and she has been respectful of all furniture! She knows basic commands including sit, stay, lay down, and she loves walks and sniffing outdoors. Cali can be a silly girl and has really opened up after settling into our home. She loves treats, balls, squeaky toys, and the outdoors!
She loves all humans and has gotten along great with our cat. She gets along well with other dogs but may need a slower introduction at first. She is overall a very gentle, calm, sweet girl who is fully trained and easy to love. She deserves the best forever home and has so much love to give.
Adoption Fee: $500 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
