History: 🧡 From Texas to Midwest 🤠—- A group of deserving dogs was recently welcomed as part of our Texas Transport Program! A program launched to make an impactful difference for our partner shelters in Texas facing the overpopulation of animals with limited resources and low adoption rates. We are excited to help these southern gems find loving forever homes to call their own!
A Note from the Foster: Ivy is doing great with us! She lives with me and my husband, our two teenagers and three dogs. She gets along with our dogs and is friendly to every new person she meets.
Ivy is definitely a lap dog. If someone is sitting, she wants to be on their lap or sleeping next to them. If you have a blanket, even better. She’s really good at burrowing under blankets.
We are home most of the day, but when we are away she stays in a wire kennel, and at night, she sleeps in a kennel in our bedroom. She would very much prefer to sleep on the bed with us.
She is not totally housetrained, but does great on a schedule.
Ivy rides great in a car and likes going with you places.
She doesn’t really play with toys but does like to chew on small puppy bones we have.
She likes going on short walks.
Once in a while she gets the zoomies and runs around the house a little bit.
Ivy is very food motivated. She knows how to sit for a treat. But we are working on her losing some weight as she is overweight for her size.
She also has a grade 3 luxating patella on both rear legs. I have noticed her limping a few times after getting up but generally they are not an issue for her right now.
Ivy is pretty quiet. Once in a while she barks when she thinks she isn’t getting her food fast enough. And sometimes she whines a little when she can’t be where you are.
She is a really sweet dog and has a lot of life left and love to give to her future family.
Adoption Fee: $510 + 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!
