Margarita's Story

Adoption Application: https://www.cognitoforms.com/New2URescues/AdoptionApplication ********If dog/pup is showing as available it is available. Please do not email asking if it is. Submit application to meet dog if interested - yes an application is required******** Meet Rita – Your Future Best Friend ? Rita is a sweet and soulful 3-year-old Chihuahua mix weighing approximately 12 lbs. She’s looking for a calm, low-traffic home where she can truly shine as the center of attention. A fenced yard would be ideal for her to safely explore and enjoy the outdoors. This little lady is fully vetted, potty trained, and highly food motivated—she’ll even dance for treats! Rita adores ear scratches and belly rubs, and once she feels safe, she’ll be your loyal companion for life. She thrives in the company of women and is selective with some men, so a patient and understanding adopter is key. Rita would do best as the only pet in the home, where she can soak up all the love and affection she deserves. If you’re ready to open your heart and home to a devoted little friend, Rita is ready to meet you. If you would like to meet this adorable dog an application must be filled out https://www.cognitoforms.com/New2URescues/AdoptionApplication We are in Rochester, NY, we adopt to people who live in the Rochester area. We do not ship our dogs and require home visits. Must live in area to adopt, will not respond to out of area/country requests. Additionally we require physically fenced yard for dog/pup to play in safely. Exceptions are sometimes made to this requirement but is up to the foster and more often done for the small breed dogs. All our dogs have been treated with de-wormer; heartworm tested (if age appropriate -7 months or older); treated for fleas/ticks; microchipped; and examined by veterinarian plus given age appropriate vaccinations. We take every effort to ensure the health of the animal and you will receive a copy of all vet work performed at time of adoption. Dogs will be spayed/neutered thru us prior to finalizing any adoption. We provide information on dogs age and breed based on what we are told by person surrendering dog or vet's best guess. While we try our best we cannot guarantee that this information is 100% accurate and can often be best guess in case of our lovable mutts.

New2U Rescues's Adoption Policy

We do not have a shelter; all dogs live in foster homes so that we are best able to assess what type of home would be best for our foster dogs. Our goal is to ensure a good match between adopter and foster dog to ensure the dog has a home for life and won’t have to be moved again. We are based out of Rochester, NY and do adoptions to homes in this area. When adopting our dogs we often have requirements. Regarding fencing, when requested we are looking for a physical fence that is in place for time of adoption. We do not accept invisible fencing, we don’t believe in shock training a dog and there are known issues with it. Sorry, this is actually in our contract that e collars will not be used on our dogs. We do allow exceptions to our fencing requirements for active families, where someone is home more during the day and don’t have multiple dogs. Must also be willing to install something like a zip line in yard. Small breed and more mellow adult dogs don’t always require fencing. We adopt dogs out in Rochester area, we will look at ones that are a few hours outside of area if all requirements are met and appears to be a great match but do look at local first. We require a in person meeting of family and existing pets plus home visit. This is obviously easier for adopters who live closer to us. If the application came thru to us you would have gotten a copy of it in your email. If you didn’t then we didn’t either. Please be sure to check your junk mail for correspondence. If your pets are not current on their vet care, including spayed or neutered we will not adopt to you. This is not negotiable and we will verify thru your vet. If you haven’t altered as you want to breed your dog you will be denied. We are a 501c registered charity and are also registered with NY State Department of Agriculture Reg No. 33. We do our best to guess breed or age of dog and most often go with what we are told when taking dog in. They are all microchipped, vetted with vaccines, treated for worms and any other issues and if age appropriate heartworm tested. Older dogs more often also get a dental done when in for their spay/neuter. We disclose any known issues to adopters, our goal is to find home for life. The more we know and share the better the chance of making a lifetime match. We do occasionally get wonderful applications that we know will be an amazing home that do not get the dog they applied for. This could be due to multiple wonderful applications (only one can get the dog) or just not the right dog for that home. We keep applications on file for 6 mths so you are welcome to email us – new2urescue@gmail.com – stating application is on file and name of dog you are interested in and don’t have to fill out new application. As a rescue, our primary concern is the dog in our care, we just want to hopefully find the best match for them so they get to enjoy a lifetime with their new family. We will make exceptions when we believe it would be a great home. The application matters, providing information on it helps us determine if it might be the right home. Spending a little more time explaining things to us will help us make the decision as opposed to one or two word answers. An application must be submitted to meet any of our dogs. We do not operate on first application in gets dog, it is best match for the dog. https://www.cognitoforms.com/New2URescues/AdoptionApplicationNew2URescue link for applications new2urescue.org is our main page. https://www.facebook.com/New2Urescue for facebook.
