Lissy's Story

FAST FACTS:<br/>* 4 Years Old & 43lbs<br/>* Dog & Cat Friendly- But Best As Only Pet In Home<br/>* Adults Only Home Preferred<br/>* Working On Potty Training<br/>* Crate Trained<br/><br/>Meet Lissy! Lissy is a 4-year-old English Bulldog with the sweetest soul and a heart that's ready to find the people she's been waiting for.<br/><br/>Rescued from a puppy mill in Texas, Lissy's difficult past has left both physical and emotional scars. But if there's one thing she'll teach you, it's that love can still shine through hardship. Once she trusts you, she is incredibly affectionate and forms deep, loyal bonds with her people. Her favorite things include snuggling on the couch, soaking up endless pets, carrying around soft plush toys, and happily snoozing in a cozy dog bed while keeping you company.<br/><br/>Lissy is looking for a calm, quiet home with adults only. She does best with people who respect her boundaries and allow her to settle in at her own pace. An experienced English Bulldog owner, or someone familiar with the breed's unique care needs, would be an ideal match. Lissy requires daily eye medication for life, ongoing management of skin and allergy issues, and accommodations for her mobility limitations.<br/><br/>While Lissy has done well around cats, we've learned she is happiest as the only pet in the home. She loves her people so much that she can become protective of them, so she'll thrive without other dogs or cats competing for her attention.<br/><br/>Lissy is making great progress with potty training! She can comfortably hold it for several hours but hasn't quite figured out how to let you know when she needs to go outside. A fenced yard would be a huge bonus, as she's not much of a walking enthusiast and is still building confidence outdoors. Because stairs are difficult for her, a ranch home or one with minimal stairs would be the best fit.<br/><br/>Like many dogs from puppy mill situations, Lissy is still learning that the world is a safe place. She's working on crate training (though she'd much rather be snuggled next to you), and because she isn't a fan of being crated, she'd love a family where someone is home often to keep her company.<br/><br/>One fun fact about Lissy? Despite having only a limited number of teeth, she has absolutely no problem polishing off her kibble with enthusiasm!<br/><br/>Lissy won't be the right fit for every home, and that's okay. We're looking for the right home. One that understands her past, embraces her quirks, and celebrates every milestone she reaches. In return, you'll gain an incredibly devoted companion whose resilience, gentle nature, and unwavering love make her truly unforgettable.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a loyal couch buddy who will love you with her whole heart, Lissy just might be your perfect match.<br/><br/>If interested in adopting me please fill out an application on our website at www.fetchingtailsfoundation.org; please make sure you fill in every required field/question or your submission will not go through. Please note that we take time to learn as much as we can about each dog in our care and our bios are our current observations; we are unable to make any guarantees on the future health or temperament of your adopted dog. Most dogs in our care come with unknown pre-rescue history and as such breed and age estimates are an educated guess.<br/><br/><br/>ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS, NO EXCEPTIONS:<br/><br/>*ADOPTION FEE: $400<br/><br/>*Be at least 21 years of age<br/><br/>*Have the knowledge and agreement of all adults living in the household<br/><br/>*Have approval from owner of residence (written in lease)<br/><br/>*Have a valid ID with current address (please provide proof of address if ID address is not up-to-date)<br/><br/>*Be approved as a suitable adoptive home by Fetching Tails Foundation<br/><br/>*Be prepared to make a lifetime commitment<br/><br/>*QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR POLICIES?

Fetching Tails Foundation's Adoption Policy
1). All dogs listed on the website are currently available for adoption. We are volunteer-run and will do our very best to respond to your interest in one of our dogs within 24-48 hours. If you have not received a response by the 48-hour mark, please check your spam. 2). The decision to place one of our rescue dogs into either a foster home or adoptive home is not one that we take lightly. We reserve the right to deny any application and may not disclose the reason for denial. This decision is not made on a first-come, first-served basis, it is determined by who would be the best fit for our dog based on their personality in a foster home. 3). At times we have multiple applications on the same adoptable dog - and we reserve the right to stop accepting applications at any point when there is an overwhelming number of applicants for the same dog. This may be the reason you do not see the particular dog on our website or any partner websites, even after submitting an application. If an application is submitted, you should expect a response from us. Process Application – As a potential adopter, you will fill out and submit an adoption application. Your application will be reviewed by an FTF Volunteer, who will contact you within 24-48 hours of submission. Again, please check your spam if you do not hear from someone by the 48-hour mark. Meet If the application is deemed a good fit, the foster/volunteer will schedule a meet with the applicant and everyone in the household. All members of the application household, including dogs, will meet at a secured location decided by the foster and applicants. If a person or dog is over often, they are able to attend as well. Home Checks: After the application has been approved and the meet and greet has been done we will move forward with a home check. ** Please note, if you are in a rented home, we will be contacting your landlord for their approval prior to adoption. If the approval is not written in your lease, we will need written approval from your landlord. Contract If you are approved for adoption, you will be notified and adoption will be scheduled at one of two locations. You will fill out our adoption contract, which details our policies and procedures regarding the responsibility and care of the Fetching Tails dog. At this time you will receive proof of all vaccinations, the microchip number, test results, a rabies certificate, and any additional medical records, if necessary. Adoption Donation When you adopt a dog, you're not buying a pet. Your donation isn't a fee for your adoptee - it's a gift that helps us pursue our mission, save lives, and ensure we can provide care to all the dogs in our program. Senior dog. 8 years and up / $175 Adult or Young Dog. 6 months to 7 years / $400 Puppies. Under 6 months / $475 (Cash, Zelle, or check accepted only on adoption day) Care Provided At minimum, all Fetching Tails dogs receive the following: Fecal tests (and treatment, if needed) Age-appropriate Vaccinations Microchip, which will be transferred to you at the time the adoption is processed with our 24PetWatch chip Heartworm Test (and treatment, if positive) Spay/Neuter Surgery Flea & Tick Preventative (during the proper season) Heartworm Preventative (during the proper season) **Please note the following: 1). We are unable to make any guarantees of the future health, age, temperament, size, or breed of your adopted dog. 2). In the event that the adopter is no longer able or willing to care for the adopted dog, or the dog is no longer a “fit” in the home, the adopter understands that the dog MUST be returned to Fetching Tails Foundation. If the adopted dog is not returned to Fetching Tails, the Foundation has the right to subject a fine and if necessary, will take legal action. 3). Please read over your adoption contract carefully.
