Cherish (wa), Rat Terrier For Adoption In Seattle, Washington

Price:

$200

Location:

Seattle, WA

Description:

Found as a stray with her sister and her presumed mom, 6-lb. Cherish may look like a puppy, but her adult teeth suggest that she's likely to be 1-2 years old. She'll also remind you of a puppy in other ways. For example, she's dependent on being near humans or other dogs. In her foster home, if she's not trailing her foster mom, she's probably with her sister, Charmy. Like a baby duckling, Cherish will clamor to catch up if she loses sight of you, and she may not be happy if you have to leave, but she'll eventually calm down. A pretty sound sleeper, Cherish loves sleeping under the covers with her person, but be careful not to roll on her! (Needless to say, her size precludes her living with small children or anyone who can't handle her gently.) Her favorite activities? Cuddling in a lap and eating! In fact, she 'cherishes' both to the point of growling and snapping at any dog who comes too close when she's enjoying either one. Cherish is also like a puppy when she's walking on leash. She loves her walks, but the leash tries to entangle her legs, forcing her to give a pitiful look that means, 'Pick me up please!' Nevertheless, she's friendly towards new people and dogs she meets, and like Spider-Man she can climb human bodies vertically to reach their kissing zone, i.e. their face. (She also uses those Spidey skills to climb any mesh or perforated gates you might use to contain her.) Her friendliness doesn't extend to the cats and other small creatures she may encounter, however, so she would probably do best in a home without cats. Cherish is doing well with her house-training, but she'll sometimes have accidents if she can't get outdoors in time. Her other house manners are good; she doesn't chew on furniture or dig holes into the couch. However, when driving, if you don't have Cherish crated or securely tethered, the little scamp will end up in your lap! Sure, it may take a little work to turn this puppy wannabe into a princess, but you'll cherish the result.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 7, 2024, 11:46 amAdoption 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.
