About

Meet Blizzard

Meet Blizzard!Blizzard was found as a stray in Rocky Mount NC.  Best guess, no guarantees - we THINK, Blizzard is a Jack Russell/Shar Pei mix (maybe Basset Hound as well), as of 4/7 he is 15lbs - as an adult he may end up anywhere from 25-45lbs???.  Estimated DOB is Dec 2024, which makes him about 16-18 weeks old. His personality?  Well hilarious, mischievous, daring, bold, loving and a work in progress. He loves to do right and lives for a "good boy".   He can come off a little bossy with his fur foster siblings. But, takes the correction they give him. He currently is fostered with littles and medium size pups.    People are his favorite and he gets so excited to see them. Wiggles and kisses and maybe a play bite, which is improving the more exercise and structure he gets - because of this, for now, best suited with no small children, dog savvy older kids would probably be fine. As with any puppy, they will need families committed to begin and continue training in their new adoptive homes. And, as with all of our puppies, we recommend taking a basic group training class for exposure, a bonding experience with their new families, and of course continuing paths to becoming lovely, trained, well-behaved & well-adjusted adult canine citizens.He is crate trained, potty training is coming along. Blizzard is neutered, up-to-date on core vaccines, dewormed, current on flea/tick/heartworm preventative, and is microchipped!____________________________________________________________________ **If you are 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.
