Meet Gonzo

This armload of muppets arrived to entertain and delight everyone with their silly antics.

With a birthdate of April 21, 2021, their mama is Tabatha, pictured with each one. Dad is unknown, but must have been pretty colorful. Tabatha weighs about 20 lb, but without knowing dad we aren't sure what size her pups will be as adults. They all have exuberant personalities and are enthusiastic about people, though!

Gonzo loves to play with polite dogs. He enjoys people, but will bark at strangers at initial introduction. He is leash-savvy and comfy in a 36" crate to allow him to sprawl. He's house-trained when kept on a regular schedule (currently every other hour) and needs to go out as early in the morning as his people get up.

Gonzo is a little nervous on car rides, but that can be overcome with regular outings. Gonzo will quickly learn that new sights, scents, sounds, and strangers are curious rather than scary. Gonzo is in a foster home with cats. When in his crate, he'll bark at them, but when loose in the house he ignores them. He loves to run, so an active lifestyle is preferred for his new family.

**********

April 2020: We are not holding public adoption events until further notice. Qualified families are being invited to appointments to meet specific dogs. There are currently no opportunities to view multiple dogs and adoption events aren't being held at Tractor Supply in Lenoir.

Whether dogs / puppies come in as strays or owner surrenders, we usually have to make our best guess as to birthdate and breed.

If adopted into a home with other animals, particularly cats, your new pet should be crated or secured when you're not available to supervise to insure a harmonious relationship.

A vet reference is required to confirm responsible pet ownership. Requirement is a minimum three year vet history documenting current / previous pets are spayed / neutered, kept up to date on core vaccinations, and on heartworm prevention. We suggest first time pet owners without a vet history look for an adult dog for companionship and to gain experience. Other rescues or your local government-run animal control agency may have different adoption requirements.

Adoption fee covers two vaccinations plus spay / neuter if using our local low-cost spay/neuter clinic (overnight stay required) and surgery occurs as agreed upon in the adoption contract. Convenience fee equal to refundable spay/neuter deposit may be required if, using our veterinarian or same-day surgery, service is scheduled through our organization. Additional fees for 3rd puppy vaccination, refundable spay/neuter deposit, etc. may apply.

We are an all-volunteer, foster-based rescue. We receive no funding from agencies. Available animals can be seen most Saturdays at Tractor Supply in Lenoir from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. We recommend interested parties contact us to pre-qualify for adoption so their new furry family can go home once paperwork is complete. Fees are required in cash. For more information on our organization, our website is www.petpartnersrescue.org.
