About

Meet Bahr

  Oh Bahr!  What a cutie this 8 month old shitzu/Yorkie mix is. He has that adorable shitzu personality and his colors are Yorkie even if they are a little mixed up and go front to back.  He is dog friendly and people are his jam too. He needs a quick second to figure things out then what a love bug he becomes.  Canine friends are fun too. Nothing like some play time, especially if they are his size. He is still learning what larger dogs are like but has no problem co existing with them.  The back yard is the best in his world, you can run and jump and be happy. And maybe chase a squirrel or at least watch them.  When outside time is done, there are always the buckets of toys that foster mom tosses and he then does the same.  He is ok in a crate but prefers to be where his people. With a little encouraging like a yummy treat he usually settles in.  So far we are potty trained and he keeps his crate clean at night too. _____________________________________________________________________________ **If you are seriously interested, YOU NEED TO APPLY.  Also, a follow-up email to [email protected], is strongly recommended.

Adoption Process
The adoption process will begin with an extensive adoption application, accessible on our website. In addition to a series of questions (e.g., to ascertain the adopter's likes/dislikes, lifestyle, and general suitability), the application will require, among other things, a veterinary reference and two personal (non-family member) references. In lieu of a veterinary references, we will require 3 personal references. We will also require submission of digital photos of home and yard, as well as a home visit. Approved adopters will be required to take their pup or dog to the vet within 7 days of adoption. Each animal adopted from Safe At Last will go home with a medical booklet, complete with all details of vetting done prior to adoption, with explicit instructions as to the follow up required. All animals will be UTD with all age appropriate shots prior to adoption, and barring any health reasons that would preclude it, they will be placed on topical protection for fleas/ticks, and based on age, also started on heartworm preventative (or provided with the first dose). Any animals older than 4 months will be spayed/neutered before adoptions. For animals under 4 months old, the adoption contract will require spay/neuter by the time the animal is 6 months of age. We will require proof of same and will assign one of our members to have the task of following up on proof of spay and neuter. Under the contract, the adoptive family will not "own" the animal until we have received proof of spay and neuter. Failure to have the surgery performed will allow us, under the contract, to reclaim the pet.
