Huckleberry's Story

I'm Mr. Huckleberry, the Ewok. <br/><br/> <br/><br/>My time with the Rebel Alliance resulted in losing one eye in battle. As an Ewok war hero, I don't let that slow me down. I am always ready to party and make new friends especially in the Rebel Alliance. <br/><br/> <br/><br/>I've had a long journey to get where I am now. I came into the emergency vet with an eye injury where they discovered that I had a grade 4 heart murmur. I was surrendered to the emergency vet which is how I landed with Speak. The Veterinarian who saved my life named me Huckleberry and that fits me so well!<br/><br/> <br/><br/>I recently had my cardiac surgery and I am recovering . Getting neutered is going to happen after I get well, very soon. <br/><br/> <br/><br/>I am 110% an extrovert! I love everyone. Sometimes I am a bit much for my kitty or dog friends because I don't think party time is over, but I always mean well. <br/><br/> <br/><br/>Just like the rest of the Rebel Alliance, I am quite brave and always ready for an adventure. I am no couch potato and need a family that will help me get out and meet new friends, go for car rides, on walks and experience all the adventures a war hero deserves. <br/><br/> <br/><br/>Despite my love of adventure, I also love to snuggle at the end of the day and enjoy some couch time or my new family's lap. <br/><br/> <br/><br/>May the Force be with you. <br/><br/>***PLEASE READ*** WE DO NOT RESPOND TO PETFINDER OR EMAIL INQUIRIES. Please fill out an application on our website if you are interested in adopting this dog. We will only set up a meeting with the dog once you have an approved adoption application. We actively manage our dogs on Petfinder.<br/><br/> <br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting this dog, please review our adoption policies and apply online at [www.speakfortheunspoken.com/adopt](http://www.speakfortheunspoken.com/adopt).

Speak for the Unspoken's Adoption Policy
Before completing our online application please read the following: Our adoption process involves multiple steps and it typically takes up to 2 weeks from the time we receive your application to the time your adoption is finalized. We reserve the right to deny any application without explanation. All of our dogs and/or puppies are in foster homes. We do not schedule “Meet and Greets” without an approved application. Our Adoption Fees start at $325 per dog, $75 per cat or kitten. We can adopt an animal ‘out of state’, but you must be willing to travel to where the pet is being fostered, and transport the animal yourself after the adoption. If you have other animals (dogs/cats) in your home, they must be up-to-date on vaccinations, heartworm testing and prevention (dogs), and spayed/neutered. We will verify this with your veterinarian. If your animals are not up to date, your application will be denied. Please make sure to fully complete your application; leaving questions blank or not including all requested information will delay your application. Once your online application is submitted, it can take our volunteers 5 to 7 business days to process it. If we have questions about your application, we will email you. Please make sure to add our email, adopt@speakfortheunspoken.com to your email so our messages do not end up in your spam folder! Once your application is approved by the processors, it is sent to the person fostering the dog you have applied for. They will make the decision on whether the animal that you applied for is the right fit for you and your home. They may also choose to initially contact you via email or phone. If you do not respond promptly to their email or phone call, they will move on to the next applicant. Your application will be saved on file for 1 year and will be used for all dogs you would be interested in that time-frame. No need to keep filling out applications! Adoption application approval means you are approved to adopt an animal from us, it does not mean you are necessarily approved for the animal you applied for. There may be specific circumstances in your home that do not make it a good fit for one animal, but it may be a fine fit for another.
