Julio's Story

Julio is a 6 years, 9 months old male Short Coat Chihuahua/Mix.<br/><br/>*Julio has IVDD and a significant heart condition, and is a special medical needs dog.<br/><br/>Meet Julio, one of those little guys who seems to collect friends everywhere he goes!<br/><br/>Julio is an incredibly sweet, social little soul who adores people and has happily befriended all of our volunteers and staff. If there's an available lap, Julio would very much like to be in it. He loves cuddles, attention, and simply being close to people. He's also friendly with other animals, including dogs and may do wonderfully with kids. Julio rides well in the car.<br/><br/>This past weekend, Julio had a very important job as a WARL ambassador at Pet Rock, and he absolutely loved it! He calmly greeted person after person and even made some unusual new friends, including alpacas and rabbits. Julio took the whole adventure in stride, happily soaking up all the attention.<br/><br/>Julio does have medical needs that may require ongoing and potentially costly care, so his future family will need to be prepared to provide for him. Please see above.<br/><br/>What Julio offers in return is pretty wonderful: a whole lot of affection, companionship, cuddles, and one very happy little face looking up at you. He's ready to find his people! We are currently taking applications for Julio, and he can be met on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays between 12-4pm during our walk-in adoption days.

Your safety and the safety, happiness, and well-being of our shelter animals are our top priority.

WARL Adoption Fees Kittens under 1 year of age: $350 Cats between 1 to 10 years of age: $145 Cats over 10 years of age: $50 Puppies under 1 year of age: $500 Dogs between 1 to 10 years of age: $225 Dogs over 10 years of age: $100 WARL also has a Senior for Senior Program. The adoption fee is waived for a senior citizen adopting an animal over 10 years old. What's Included in the Fees? Adoption Fees are non-refundable; they are the cost of caring for an animal in our shelter. Adoption Fees include these estimated costs: Spaying and neutering: $200-$400 Dogs are microchipped: $35 Cats are tested for leukemia and FIV: $35 Dogs are tested for heartworm: $25 Age appropriate vaccines: $50 Fecal testing for parasites: $25 Deworming for parasites: $20 Dogs receive a collar and leash: $25 Cats receive a cat carrier: $10 Veterinary exam(s) while at the shelter: $50 Included in the adoption fee is a free 30-day trial of Shelter Care pet insurance. You can decide at the end of a month if you wish to continue the insurance. Occasionally there are discounted rates for adult animals that have been in the shelter for many months or for bonded pairs that must be adopted together. WARL Adoption Hours Sunday through Saturday, Noon to 4 pm. Adoptions are typically a same-day process unless the adopter places a 24-hour hold* on the pet. You can expedite the adoption process by bringing your lease, and landlord’s phone number (if applicable) when you come to the shelter. If you own the property, you may be asked to bring in a mortgage statement as proof of home ownership. It’s crucial that you bring all family members or roommates to meet the animal at the shelter. If you’re adopting another dog, bring your current dog to the shelter to meet the possible new one. *What is the 24-hour hold? You can put a 24-hour hold on an animal while you round up family members, roommates or just to make arrangements to take the animal home. You have to request the hold in person; you can’t do it over the phone. If you adopt the animal, the $25 hold fee is deducted from the adoption fee. If you decide against adopting that animal, the fee will not be returned. Adopt Responsibly Falling in love with an animal, at first sight, is easy, and with any relationship, it will take work. Tell us about your lifestyle and what you want in a pet and let WARL’s experienced staff help you choose the best pet for you. What kinds of dogs do you have? Dogs are individuals and only a small percentage of their genetics dictate their physical appearance. At WARL, we do our best to identify what breed we believe they resemble the most, however, unless an animal is surrendered with a Pedigree, identifying the breed is the tip of the iceberg.
