Bug's Story

AGE: 3 Year<br/><br/>SEX: Male<br/><br/>BREED: Chihuahua Mix<br/><br/>ENERGY LEVEL: Low<br/><br/>DOG FRIENDLY: Yep!<br/><br/>CAT FRIENDLY?: Yep!<br/><br/>KID FRIENDLY?: Untested<br/><br/>Meet Bug! This tiny, playful little guy is full of love and would happily spend his days following his people around the house, chasing them from room to room, and curling up for a nap. He loves being snuggled and petted, and while he doesn’t always seek out affection, he’s more than happy to enjoy it when it’s offered. At his size, he may just be the best purse dog in the world!<br/><br/>Bug is a friendly, playful boy who currently lives with two dogs and a cat. He gets along wonderfully with his furry housemates and enjoys playing with the dogs, while his interactions with the resident cat are friendly. He has no apparent prey drive and doesn’t react to traffic on walks or in the home. Bug is still working on his house training, and he’s doing well with his crate, sleeping through the night and settling in for short daytime periods. He can be a little zig-zaggy and pull on leash, but he hasn’t shown any reactivity on walks. He’s also a bit of a velcro pup and loves being wherever his people are.<br/><br/>Bug is friendly when meeting new people and has happily greeted and accepted pets from new friends. He can be generally shy and jumpy, but he settles with time and once he’s comfortable, his playful personality shines through. He may cry for about 10 minutes when one foster leaves while another person remains home, but otherwise he settles well and will curl up once he’s tired. Bug is a friendly little guy looking for love, companionship, and a warm lap to call his own. If you’re looking for a tiny, sweet companion who wants to be by your side, Bug may be your perfect match!<br/><br/>Think you might be the right fit to provide a loving home for Bug?

New Collar Collective's Adoption Policy
ADOPTION PROCESS 1. Complete and submit an adoption application. All applications will be screened, and applicants will receive an email response letting you know whether your application has been approved to move to the next step in our process or not. If you have not received a response from us, first check your spam/junk folder before sending us an email. 2. You will be asked to submit two personal references, and a vet reference where applicable, as part of our process. Please make sure to let them know that they may be contacted by one of our volunteers. Veterinarian clinics will require your permission to share any information with our team. 3. A phone interview will be scheduled with one of our adoption coordinators via email or phone. 4. Your adoption coordinator will connect with one of our volunteers to schedule a home visit. Home visits will be completed virtually or in-person depending on available resources. If a virtual home visit is completed and there are any outstanding questions or concerns, New Collar Collective reserves the right to do a follow up (in person) home visit. Volunteers conducting virtual home visits will be required to direct the home visit so we are assured they have seen all areas of the home. Volunteers conducting in-person home visits will be encouraged to bring a friend along for their safety. In this case, you will be notified in advance. 5. A meet & greet will be coordinated with the animal’s foster. All members of the household (including dogs) will be required to attend the meet and greet. 6. Post meet & greet If there are no further questions or concerns, applicants will contact their adoption’s coordinator to let them know if they would like to move forward with the adoption. Adopters will be contacted to provide all contract requirements. ADOPTION POLICIES The policies outlined below are guidelines and there may be instances where an exception can be made upon the agreement of the adoption management/Board of Directors. Periodically, New Collar Collective will revisit these guidance policies to ensure they still meet the intended needs of the rescue. We do not adopt to applicants who live outside of our adoption radius. We do not ship dogs. Adopters are responsible for picking up their newly adopted pet. All pets in your household must be spayed and neutered. All pets in your household must be up to date with mandatory vaccinations. We do not allow applicants to test out a cat/dog before adoption. We expect that applicants will take the necessary time to meet with the dog or cat, talk with the foster, and ask lots of questions. Our rescues have already been through so much, we feel it is in their best interest that trials do not occur. *Exception for Foster-to-Adopt applicants All members of the household must be present during the Home Visit and the Meet and Greet. We do not adopt to families with children under the age of 4. The full adoption fee is due at the time of adoption. We do not offer payment plans.
