Dorothy's Story

AGE: 3 months<br/><br/>SEX: Female<br/><br/>BREED: Northern Mix<br/><br/>ENERGY LEVEL: Medium<br/><br/>DOG FRIENDLY: Yep!<br/><br/>CAT FRIENDLY?: Yep!<br/><br/>KID FRIENDLY?: Yep!<br/><br/>Meet Dorothy! This confident, happy puppy is always ready for her next adventure. Dorothy loves exploring the world around her, playing with her foster puppy friend Keesha, and spending time with her people. She's already discovered a love for fetch and would happily chase a ball over and over again. When playtime is over, Dorothy is just as happy soaking up cuddles, pets, and affection from anyone willing to give them. It's safe to say Dorothy has found her way off the Yellow Brick Road and onto the runway - this little fashionista looks adorable in her crochet hats and bows. Friendly, social, and full of puppy charm, she has a wonderful balance of curiosity, confidence, and sweetness that makes her a joy to be around.<br/><br/>Dorothy is wonderfully social and has done great meeting both people and other dogs. Given her young age, she would likely adapt well to a home with cats, dogs, and children. She currently lives in a suburban neighbourhood but has the confidence and easygoing nature to do well in a variety of environments, including a busier city. Dorothy is already showing how smart she is - she already knows sit and is learning her name. Like any young puppy, she's currently working on potty training, crate training, and learning how to walk nicely on a leash, and she's sure to continue thriving with positive reinforcement and consistency.<br/><br/>As Dorothy continues to grow, she'll benefit from a family committed to helping her learn all the important puppy life skills. She can be somewhat vocal, occasionally crying or barking to let you know how she's feeling. She has also shown some resource guarding around food and special toys with other dogs, so feeding separately and managing high-value items will help set her up for success in a multi-dog home. With her playful spirit, loving personality, and eagerness to learn, Dorothy is sure to grow into a wonderful companion. If you're looking for a fun-loving puppy to share your adventures and your couch, Dorothy may be the perfect addition to your family!<br/><br/>Think you might be the right fit to provide a loving home for Dorothy?

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.
