Desi's Story

AGE: 4 months<br/><br/>SEX: Male<br/><br/>BREED: Northern Mix<br/><br/>ENERGY LEVEL: Medium/High<br/><br/>DOG FRIENDLY: Yep!<br/><br/>CAT FRIENDLY?: Yep!<br/><br/>KID FRIENDLY?: Yep!<br/><br/>FOSTER IG: @paws.inprogress<br/><br/>Meet Desi! Desi is a playful, affectionate, and very enthusiastic puppy who thinks everyone is his best friend. He is curious about absolutely everything and approaches life with the goofy, adventurous energy of Kevin from Up. Desi loves exploring, playing fetch with his tennis ball, tug-of-war, and getting into whatever fun thing he can find. He is also a big snuggler who loves curling up beside his people, giving kisses, or lying at their feet while they go about their day. He is very food motivated, smart, confident, and eager to learn, and already knows sit, down, paw, and stay.<br/><br/>Desi is a very social puppy who loves meeting people and other dogs. He greets new people with lots of excitement and a constantly wagging tail, although he can become overstimulated and mouthy when he's especially excited. He is very playful with other dogs and would likely enjoy having a canine companion with a similarly playful energy and compatible play style. He has met a cat and was curious but calm and very gentle with them. Desi does have a strong interest in small animals and will chase them, although he is generally easy to redirect. He does well in a busy city environment and is confident out in the world, but can pull towards people, cyclists, or other things he finds interesting. Continued leash training will help him learn that he doesn't need to say hello to everyone he sees!<br/><br/>Like any young puppy, Desi is still working on his manners and house training. He has lots of energy and needs plenty of mental and physical enrichment to keep his busy brain occupied, otherwise he can get into some puppy mischief, particularly chewing things he shouldn't. He is also learning impulse control and can be vocal when he doesn't get what he wants, but settles with patience and the right structure. He does well in the car and is making good progress with his crate training, especially when his needs have been met. Desi will need a patient family who is ready to continue guiding his enthusiastic puppy energy, but in return they'll get an incredibly loving, goofy, and fun little companion who is always ready for the next adventure.<br/><br/>Think you might be the right fit to provide a loving home for Desi?

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.
