Dot's Story

Dot was the alpha in a litter of 4 puppies. She is sweet and playful, and loves treats. She is head strong, but trainable. She does know sit and she is mostly housebroken. Sometimes, when she is playing, she forgets and goes on the floor, but usually she will use a doggie door and go outside. A little more encouraging work and we are there. She can be protective of her people, so she is dog that will benefit from more socialization. She should be taken out to meet as many people as possible, and, as she loves hanging with her family or her "pack" she would greatly enjoy that. She is very treat oriented so it's easy to work with her when she wants a treat. She likes to chase cats, so probably not a good idea to have her with cats. She does like other dogs, and she has been around older kids and enjoyed playing with them. However, we do not know about her with toddlers or small children as she has never been around them. She is spayed, up to date on all vaccines and microchipped.

Animal Preservation of East Texas (APET)'s Adoption Policy

We have potential adopters apply for the animal they are wishing to adopt. We try to have an indepth conversation about what kind of pet they are seeking, which ones would be the best fit for them, and do they have the necessary home environment for the animal they wish to adopt. If we feel they meet the criteria for the home, we then ask to be allowed to contact their vet to make sure any other animals on the home are spayed/nuetered and up to date on vaccines. If we have any doubts at all, we schedule a home visit. We go out to the adopter's home and check their fence, their home, and any other animals they own. All of their own animals must be spayed and neutered and up to date on vaccines or they are not allowed to adopt any of ours. If everything passes inspection, they adoption is allowed to proceed and they return to the shelter to pick up the animal. Most times however, just having a conversation is sufficient. We make a copy of their ID, we have them fill out the application, we go over the most important parts of the application that we feel they need to pay attention to, and we allow the adoption to proceed.
