ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS:
-Primary applicants must be 21 or older and provide photo ID upon adoption
-Please read through a dogs entire bio before applying so you know that you fit the specific needs and requirements for that dogs new home,-Dogs living in the home currently that are over 8 months old must be spayed/neutered unless medically unable.-Please do not apply for a dog if you are unable to adopt within a week. We are unable to hold dogs due to our small size. Dogs coming into us are coming from local shelters that are euthanizing for space so holding a dog for an extended period does not allow another dog to be saved.
Animals may not be adopted as a "gift" for someone unless all family members are aware of the adoption and meet the animal before the adoption takes place
Dogs must not be left crated for more than 8 hours.
If you have a current pet, they must be up to date on vaccinations and spayed/neutered. This includes cats. Dogs must have annual vet exams.
If renting, approval from the landlord is required to keep the dog on the premises.If you have a current dog, your pet must meet the new pet before the adoption is finalized to make sure they will be compatible to live together. You will bring your dog to our facility for the meet. We cannot travel to you.If you adopt from Fetch A Friend Rescue and you cannot keep the pet for any reason, you must return the animal to Fetch A Friend Rescue. There is no guarantee that because you apply for the dog that you are going to adopt that dog. We seriously consider all applications but if we should suggest another dog for your home, it is because we truly know these dogs and possibly there is another dog that is a better fit. We strive for as best of a match as possible. Proper placement takes into consideration many things, including size, male/female, activity level, children and ages of the children, fencing or lack of, amount of time dog will spend home alone, and many other considerations. When a dog is posted we may receive up to 50 applications in a matter of hours. You will receive an email if selected to come and meet this dog.

When no one came looking for them they were transferred to us to find their forever homes. These girls are bonded but also do well with other dogs! They REALLY love toys! Jen loves durable rubber toys and squeaky toys, while Judy loves to chew on nylabones! These girls are the sweetest and love to cuddle up with each other and with you. They are energetic and large and would therefore benefit from a home with a large yard to run around in and play. They even love the water! They would not be well suited for apartment living or a home without a yard. These girls are housebroken, and eager to find a fresh start!

ABOUT: Peanut was born in our rescue just over a year ago as part of a cruelty case. His mom was seized from a home that had over 50 dogs stacked n crates full of feces surrounded by cockroaches and rats. These dogs were used solely for breeding purposes. His mom came to us to stay and await trial. He was born here on 4/8/20 and waited over a year for a court case to be heard due to Covid. The trial did not happen as the owners finally signed the dogs over to us! The dogs were then free to be vetted and find their forever homes. These dogs will require very patient owners who can help them adjust to life in a home and not in a kennel environment. Peanut does not know how to walk on a leash and will need to learn. He and his siblings do best with a harness and cannot wear collars. They get them stuck in their mouths and easily choke on them. Harnesses only for these pups! A securely fenced yard is a must and not just a suggestion. These dogs would not be suitable apartment dogs and can be very vocal when excited.
Peanut is NOT house trained and will need a home that understands this and is patient with him while he learns. Belly Bands work wonders until they learn. Due to the nature of the case he could not be seen by people other than the rescue employees. He essentially spent his whole life in a kennel with his siblings and could not go to a foster home. Peanut loves toys, playing with other dogs, LOVES to swim in our kiddie pools since he was baby, and does very well with kids 8 and up. Peanut has long fluffy hair that requires regular grooming. His hair mats very easily on her belly, back end and behind his ears. We are not ideal dogs for seniors as we are major trip hazards. We constantly get under feet and jump a lot for attention. Once comfortable in our homes we will benefit highly from positive reinforced obedience classes.
HEALTH: I am neutered, heart worm negative, microchipped, current on vaccinations, dewormed, and current on parasite preventions! True to my breed I have luxating patellas and need to remain on an inexpensive monthly joint chew ($12 for 150 day supply) this will help prevent early onset arthritis! I will require dentals regularly as I age to prevent tooth and gum decay.
ADOPTION FEE: $350

ABOUT ME!: Sweet Sabrina came to us from our partner rescue in South Carolina after she was found as a stray roaming the streets. She appeared to have some trauma to her face from blunt force causing the scar on her lip. It causes her no issues and definitely adds to her charm! She was also heart worm positive when she was found but has since been treated and is good to go! This adorable pint sized pitty is such a small little girl! She is the sweetest happiest, quietest girl ever. Sabrinas favorite things to do are snuggle on the couch with her humans and canine companions. She is literally the best sleeper and cuddle partner. She would do well living with larger dogs preferably males. She wants to chase small dogs and cats when they run. Sabrina is clean in her kennel and housebroken with a good routine. She loves going for walks as long as another pup is with her. They definitely boost her confidence!
