Fireplug Rescue

Our Adoptable Pet List

Our Featured Pet...

Venus is a friendly, but shy pup who is about 10 months old, and is mostly made of Labrador Retriever. We are unsure about the other breed but it could be Australian Shepherd judging by her size, and the texture and color of her coat. Her coat is very soft, shiny and predominantly a rich, dark chocolate brown. Her coat will be short to medium in length. She has a very kind face. Our precious Venus has not had the opportunities that other puppies have had to meet lots of people yet, so she is shy at first meetings. That is maybe where you come into play. She spent her early puppy days on a backporch, along with her littermates. She didn't get the chance to experience the world. We have already started working with her to build her social skills by taking her to adoption events where she seems to enjoy meeting with people. However, she is still a bit shy. She needs to find a home where someone is willing to to continue her socialization skill building by taking her on frequent walks where she can meet more people. She is already crate trained, an important first step for house training. She is well on the way, because she is a smart little pup! What she needs is a gentle handler who will show her love, patience and understanding as she experiences all that life has to offer! These next few months are very key for her in her development - won't you give her a chance? Her life is an open book waiting for you to write her story! Venus's best placement would be with a couple or individual with time to enjoy a pup from start to finish! She would not be a good first pet for a young family with small children, since she is still a young pup herself! However, older children should be fine if they are accustomed to handling a pet and have all the doggie leadership skills down pat! She is already spayed, crate trained, vaccinated, de-wormed, started on heartworm prevention and she is even microchipped! You can't ask for more! Send an e-mail to srich@flash.net to inquire about Venus today! You can also ask for an application, and information on how to sneak a peek at her this weekend.

Who We Are

Fireplug Rescue is a limited rescue effort that works almost exclusively with dogs - so we named ourselves Fireplug Rescue. We believe that given the right opportunity, most dogs can lead safe and happy lives that will benefit the lives of their owners. It is also believed that birth control in the pet population by euthanasia must be stopped, and that the only way to do this is to spay and neuter pets. Therefore, all pets offered for adoption through Fireplug Rescue are spayed and neutered prior to adoption. The only exception is when the current health condition of the pet causes the delay of spaying and neutering surgery. In these rare cases, the adopter will sign a spaying and neutering agreement prior to adoption.

Stray Dogs, Owner Surrendered Dogs and Courtesy Listings

Fireplug Rescue does not accept found (stray) pets and those who are being given up by their owners. Please refer to www.metroporthumanesociety.org if you do not find what you are looking for on our web page.

Adopting a friend

All pets are offered for adoption through an application process. The adoption fee ranges from $85 - $200 for dogs and includes basic medical medical care listed below. Some of our animals receive much more care than others, because of their medical conditions when they come into our program. The adoption fee for dogs and puppies includes these basic services: spaying/neutering, vet visit before adoption, worming, heartworm testing (for dogs over 6 months old), application of heartworm and flea preventative medicine, collar, leash, rescue ID tag, and all vaccinations including distemper, parvo, parainfluenza, bordetella and rabies. Fireplug Rescue reserves the right to refuse the adoption of any pet for any reason. Because Fireplug Rescue pets are in private homes and have been examined by a vet prior to adoption, we usually have a pretty good idea about the health and overall condition of the pet. We will do our best to communicate our understanding about the pet's health and condition prior to adoption.

Let Us Come Visit You

Our pets are living in private homes, not shelters. Because of this, we can often bring the pet to you for the first meeting. Home visits allow us to see the pet interact in the new environment and meet the other pets in the family. We can all get a better idea how the pet might accept the new setting.
