About

Meet Twinkie

TWINKIE HAS AN ADOPTION PENDING; THEREFORE WE ARE NOT ACCEPTING/PROCESSING ANY ADDITIONAL APPLICATIONS FOR HER.Meet Twinkie, a 7 month old, ~8-lb, spayed terrier mix.  (Age and breed mix are best assessments only; NO GUARANTEE.) What is this little girl all about, you ask??  Well, can you say social butterfly???  Twinkie is asking -- What are the neighbors doing, where are my foster siblings what are my foster mom and dad up to??  Twinkie will be your little connection to all this happening in her and your world.  She is flexible and loves playing with her foster siblings but can keep herself entertained when they are tired of playing. A toy or a sibling both will work for entertainment for this little sweetheart.  To wrap Twinkie up in a few words -- busy, active, cute and sweet.  And, as for the basics, they are a work in progress - crate training and potty training in particular; but Twinkie listens well and is food motivated. Continued positive reinforcement will need to be part of her transition to her forever home.  Twinkie is sure to reward her new family with many years of love and smiles! _____________________________________________________________________________ **If you are seriously interested, YOU NEED TO APPLY (AS DESCRIBED BELOW). Also, a follow-up email to [email protected] is strongly recommended. ______________________________________________________________________ To pursue adoption, please register on www.safeatlast.net.  (Click Register on the left-hand side of our homepage.)  When you receive your password on your email account, please log back on to our website to complete the SAFE AT LAST on-line adoption application.  (Click Forms/Application on the left-hand side of our homepage and select the Adoption Application.) Once we have your completed application, if we feel you are a good match, we will contact you by email. (So, please check your SPAM.)  Our process is straightforward but involves a phone interview, reference checks and a home assessment.  An adoption fee of $450 applies. YOU CANNOT MEET Twinkie UNTIL YOU HAVE BEEN APPROVED TO ADOPT.  WE CANNOT CONSIDER YOU UNTIL YOU HAVE SUBMITTED THE FULLY FILLED OUT SAFE AT LAST ON-LINE ADOPTION APPLICATION.  Delay in submitting your application will put you behind other potentially suitable applicants.  Ultimately, approved adopters will be required to go to the foster home to complete the adoption (in the Schoharie/Albany County area). (Also, we will not respond to generic "check the box" petfinder inquiries.)   NYS Rescue Registry No. RR 087

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.
