Maria

Maria is a rare Xoloitzcuintli or Mexican Hairless as they are also known as. Xolos are over 3,000 years old and were part of Aztec culture guarding them even in the afterlife. She came to us from a hoarding situation along with several other dogs. We can only imagine she has had at least one litter of puppies. Despite her previous life, she has come out of her shell and is an absolutely amazing dog! She is super friendly and seeks out attention. She wants to be in her lap getting love and affection all the time. She is completely crate trained and (if not already) would house train very easily. Maria does "high five" anytime she wants to be picked up or she sees a leash come out which means its time for her walk. Maria is not a barker, is extremely low maintenance and would be a dream dog for any family! Maria is 2-3 years old and 22 pounds. She now fully vetted and ready for her inside forever home. Maria's wish list consists of a fenced yard for play time and parents who will give her all the attention she deserves. We are also looking to place Maria in a home with parents who have experience with the Xolo breed. If you think Maria would be a perfect fit for your family, contact us at adoptions.caresga@gmail.com for an adoption application. We adopt up north and all over so please ask for details. $500 adoption fee and a vet reference is required to ensure a great home (this means you have had a pet so we can call to verify their level of care). Eligibility for adoption means your current or past pets are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines and you can show a consistent history of monthly heartworm and flea prevention. Please be aware that we do not allow shock collars (ie underground fences) or "pens" as an alternative for a fenced yard. <br/><br/>We do our best to place our rescue pets in the very best homes. Please be aware that we have an application which also includes required vet records showing your existing pets are current on preventative medical care (in addition we call your vet). Puppy adopters please take note that we generally try to place our puppies into homes where at least one parent is retired/stay at home/works from home to ensure the puppy gets enough attention and training (puppies cannot hold it all day in a crate) so please have a plan ready when contacting us. For safety reasons, we try not to place small dogs or puppies in families with children under 5 (there may be exceptions depending on situation). <br/><br/>Our typical adoption fees for puppies are $350, adults dogs are $250 and senior dogs are $150. Some pets may have a higher than normal adoption fee but we will alert you if there is a variance (adoption fee for each dog is stated above in their description). Adoption fees help our group offset PART of the cost of rescuing, rehabilitating, and getting the pet healthy so they can go on to find a loving home with someone willing to give them a second chance at life. This amount includes each animal being current on age appropriate vaccinations including DHPPL, bordetella, influenza, rabies, and boosters when appropriate. De-wormed for any internal parasites (round worms, hook worms, tape worms and whipworms) with Drontal Plus, 4DX tested heart-worm negative (if positive, they are treated), tested negative for tick borne diseases, spayed/neutered, implanted with a micro-chip and have been examined by a veterinarian to certify that they are healthy. Any other known health issues are treated as well prior to adoption (examples: UTI, broken bones, contagious infections, dental cleanings, etc). All animals are also on a regime of flea and heartworm medication every month. Lifetime registration for the micro-chip is included in each adoption fee. In addition, each adopter will go home with a fitted collar, tags, a bag of dog food the pet has been on, Forti-Flora, copies of all vet history, and an adoption kit filled with valuable information and coupons as well as other various treats or toys as promotions become available. All puppy adoptions include two puppy training books, the Puppy Primer & Way To Go by Patricia McConnell, and all adult adoptions go home with Love Has No Age Limit by Patricia McConnell to help ensure a smooth transition for your new family member. <br/><br/>We ask that you consider an additional donation on top of this pet's adoption fee. This money will go directly into our Adoption Fund to be used exclusively for rescuing and caring for other pets in need. Many pets we take in have very high vet bills to get them healthy and adoptable for the public - much higher than their adoption fees. We receive no government funding and rely solely on donations from our community and caring adopters to continue our rescue efforts!
